$16 vs $99 Jeans? Let's Settle This! Wrangler, Levi’s, Carhartt, Dickies, Nautica, LEE, Lucky

Would’ve loved to see ridgecut in this review

Dickies is the only brand that actually stocks a wide selection of sizes. I’m a 28-30. Dickies has 29-30. Almost every single other brand starts at 30-30, and good luck finding anything smaller than 34-32 in person. Not everybody is a fat fuck, and dickies understands that

I watch your videos due to the thoroughness of your tests and although I may well place more emphasis on one category rather than another I applaud your testing. As a result of this video I began buying the Tractor Supply Blue Mountain jeans especially since they are regularly on sale for $15. Using the $10 rewards that I accrue during the year from other purchases I can buy the jeans for only $5.00, a great deal! I find them to be among the most comfortable jeans that I have ever worn and that includes many different brands during my 70 years. I would and have recommend them to anyone who wants functionality and not just a brand name on a tag.

Key, double front logger jeans.

Forgot Keys! Most rugged jeans I ever bought. Specifically their logger jeans.

Is anybody else wondering where we rural king is in this battle of the pants?

Levi's is an extremely anti-American brand. Don't buy Levi's unless you want to directly support extreme far-left politics.

Ariats. They are expensive but never had a problem. Wrangler rip to easy for me.

what is weight:12oz or 14.5 oz etc. This is the best indicated of durability

Love your videos bud, these have to take a lot of work to put together. I have been wearing wranglers for more then 20 years. They used to just be wranglers, now they are wrangler authentics. I have pairs that are 10-15 years old and people ask me where I got them sometimes because they look like those prefaded designer jeans poeple pay 100s for. Lol. I work for a company that collects used cooking oil and they provide us with wrangler riggs jeans. Thay are very durable but a little to heavy and hot for me in the summer. I have only been working here a year but they get used and abused and all 13 pairs they gave me look brand new even getting covered in grease and oil all the time and professionally laundered.

Keep up the good work sir.

A 17 minute video from project farm means 17 minutes of seamless useful information

I have a 200 dollar pair of selvedge denim jeans woven with recycled silk. Oh boy are those a good pair

I've had to stop buying Levis, Carhartt, and wranglers as they wear out way too fast. It's a shame all those companies have become less well made as they make the most comfortable and good looking work jeans on the market. I've had really good luck with blue mountain work pants I can get for like $15, and Timberland cargo jeans. The timberlands only cost me like $45 and lasted well over a year. They also looked really fashionable while still being entirely useful for working in.

Great video. Thank you.

Please test and compare Round-House made in USA Work Pants, they are far more durable than Carhartts.

Mechanics: what work pants do you wear and why?

I feel like it always depends on the model you choose as well... Like Levis has their basic stuff the 501, 505 etc but they also have these 511 Slim Fit jeans which come with Spandex 1% and 99% cotton or something, those will tear much faster (I believe) and they feel cheaper... best jeans in my opinion (for work) are Wrangler original Cowboy Fit. Best look, best comfort and durability. I also like Dickies though

best jeans u can buy are the ones you buy at a resale shop. Iv gotten Carhardt jeans from a resale shop for 9 dollars.

I wear firehose from Duluth Trading Company.

Could you maybe repeat this test with some motorcycle pants thrown in there?

Do an FR showdown featuring cousin Eddie. We know he doesn't turn his breakers off before he does his electrical work. But are all 8 cal 12 cal brands the same? Help us out. Do they all breathe the same?

Because the night time's news reporter said , wearing pairs of jeans, are not good for male 's ...too til

Younger ages of me, like jeans, but, in my mind's, don't have to spend money 's.because , it , will ban aways.soon.always!!!

One pair of jeans, cost over hundreds dollars, in southern Asia's

Staying, in together 's under one roof... More and more my goods, early do have bought....but, madness of my family's members....omg !!!; Waste money 's, buys new pairs...agains and again 's....am I rich ????

Are Wrangler jeans good quality?

You ever hear of Ben Davis or Red Cap?

Please do the same test with those snobby hipster japanese "selvedge" ones.

Thanks for the video, thanks to the veteran for his service!

I have a great idea for a we are going to test that moment! how about a blood alcohol level test breath o-lizer test / test test the different units on the market . I have seen at 10 maybe test 5-10 an see whats what-ans which are more accurate!!!! that's a new test right?

Levi's SUCK, just like their politics.

Video idea: Kwikset key vs. Minute Key kiosk copy vs. Lowe's copy, etc.
(How durable are the copies vs. the keys that come with the locks?)

Thank you, as always!

The first time I tried Lucky jeans was the last time I wore other brands. That is, until i discovered how quickly they disintegrate in the crotch. I see some Wrangler Riggs in my future. Thanks PF!

Will you do a video for motorcycle pants? Not the hard armor kind but the lighter Jean style pants that are Kevlar lined and stuff?

In thinking about some of these tests, subtle differences in positioning might impact the results. What are your thoughts?

Such as when tearing the rear pocket, the angle of the pocket seams (square vs tapered) and the angle of the metal pieces... Both could impact how much force was spread to the side stitching deeper into the pockets vs. the top of the pocket.

Likewise, when trying to rip the crotch out, the way the knots were tied and the design/fabric cut in that area could impact how much force went through the center seams of the crotch (where the 4 pieces/2 seams of fabric meet) vs the force going through just one seam (the butt or the seam between the zipper and the crutch).

Btw, I'm still hoping to see a similar set of tests against top of the line, rugged work pants (Carhartt B01s and similar pants from Dickies, Wall, etc.).

In that test, you might also test how they resist tearing out an existing hole. Since these pants are intended to be abused, they're going to get holes in them. How well they resist letting those holes grow would be a good comparison (e.g., I know most of my denim jeans that start to blow out in the knee rapidly tear out all the way across). Since some fabrics (like denim) have different threads going up& down vs. side to side, testing tear strength should be done in both directions--using the weakest direction for the results.

Thx!

Painful to watch all the pants being destroyed but cool..lol thanks for the info

Time to test undies “fruit of the loom claims it can withstand winds up to 100 mph, we’re going to test that!”

This is the review that I was looking for, thank you

I almost exclusively wear Wrangler jeans.
They're a quality product and hold their own against Arizona, Levi and Lee's

Love the tests, looking forward to more! You do a great job creating various tests to make choices quantifiable.

Wish this covered zippers and buttons. They always break first on mine

Amazing video!

I love your tests. Excellent methodology. But in this case, I'm kinda disappointed that you didn't test the belt loops. I always seem to bust off the two front most, which is annoying as heck. You're still my go-to product tester!

I wanna know where he found Levi’s for $22 and Nauticas for $29

Could you test waxed jeans?
I read that wax can not only make clothes water resistant, but also more abrasion resistant, however I can't find much material testing it.
Could you test it please?

next project will be torture test different brand pickup truck

Can you do one with USA made jeans like Roundhouse, Diamond Gusset and Texas Jeans ?

PF, I haven't been to your channel in a while but it came up when I Googled "durable work jean."

Future videos: please list where jeans are made. I won't buy from China anymore if I can avoid it. I'm sure many of your viewers are in the same boat. [edit: thanks for the countries of origin on the second video!]

Walmart George is good
