I'm done with Levis (Rant)

[ultrarunner]

Always Levi until the price got too high... saw 505 at Costco today for $30

Wrangler are almost a third of that last time I went to Target with the coupon.

What I miss is the JC Penny Big Mac line of work wear since 1922

Never bought anything Big Mac that wasn't well make and a good value...

I think 2012 is when the work wear was discontinued... had I known I would have stocked up... mostly navy and khaki...

For me it was Levi 504 for 15+ years, then they stopped making them!!!
I had a chuckle at N80 (opening poster) as his buying style is just like mine , you can do your shopping (4 pr trousers and 4 shirts)in 15 minutes or less.
And it drives women crazy.:laughing:
As for grease on the trousers, no problem, just get "swarfega classic" hand cleaner if you can and paint it on the grease spots or use gloves, and the trousers come out clean. You can use modern mild hand cleaner but the brands I have tried are not as effective. It was the only time I showed mum how to get something clean

Glad for this coming up. Used to buy the 505's but started buying Costco jeans because of the price. The last time I bought them they were thin junk that feel like the stuff women's jeans are made of. Thanks for the ideas as I too am looking for quality jeans. Ed

I had to go from a regular cut to a slim cut because somewhere my butt fell off. If I don't find it soon I may need suspenders.........

I found it. :thumbdown: I wish I could give it back. :laughing:

I started shopping at Casual Male XL. The jeans seem to stand up and last OK. I really like their t-shirts in the tall size so they stay tucked in when sitting on the tractor all day or bending over.

Uh oh, "old guy's butt".

Grandpa's cure was to pull his pants up so the belt went over the top of his gut.

I work in my jeans so I get Rustler on sale for around 10-12 bucks a pair. They're Wrangler jeans without the label. The only thing I've noticed is that someone has been shrinking all of mine lately.
