Have any beeks found the perfect Jeans?  If so, what are they? 

I’ve tried many brands, but I just haven’t found a perfect fit yet.  No wonder the Kardashians have such a hard time keeping cloths on, nothing is going to fit those bodies!

I use to wear levi's all the time.
I like a more loose fit anymore and now wear wrangler painter pants in camo colors. That is about the only kind of pant I wear and the wife gets tired of it for sure.
Real Army camo pants are the best, they have the "draw stings" on the sides to take up any slack, no belt required and they just feel better.

I'm finding now with my wiser body that the jeans that fit my hips.. don't fit my legs. Wider hips, thinner legs. It's a tough combo for the 501's that I used to love  ;)

Wrangler jeans for me. Got rid of all my Lee and Levi jeans as I like how the Wranglers fit around my upper leg and thigh area sitting or standing.

Liberty overalls are the best.  They hang on your shoulders, and cuddle my belly like a belly bra.  And they have lots of pockets, too.

$9.98..I'm cheap enough not to worry about the fit.

Liberty's is all I use to wear but my belly pooched out too much. I do like them also but need to get me some more.

I've found that the secret is to get the ones that fit your belly, not your waist.   ;D

It's a shame that Liberty overalls are made in China now.

I have been a fan of Wranglers for a while now.   With my excess belly suspenders were almost a must.
Then, I got a set of Carhart overalls.  OMG where have they been all of my life?  Extra pockets, no sag.  I just don't see a downside
I'm starting to think that the bees are keeping me...

Levis mostly but I have to go and try on different ones every time,I have found that jean sizes change even if they are the same size and model.

 I will buy any brand that fits though (which is rare).

Hey Jen, remember the "Mom Jeans" skit from Saturday Night Live?  http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/mom-jeans/n11727
I wish I knew how to post the actual video on here.

All American Clothing Company.

They are the best quality out there AND they are 100% made in the USA!  Whenever possible, all of my clothes and tools are "Made in the USA".

I am hard on clothes.  Levis only last 8-12 months.  I have several pairs of jeans from All American that are 3+ years old and still holding up.  The two pairs I bought last year (worn and washed weekly) are still deep blue, not faded.

Welcome pturley.  I see you are new.

I have to say I have a pair of jeans from WallyWorld that are very comfortable.  I don't like WallyWorld, but sometimes the situation calls for going there.

Not really new, around since before Iddee and the gang moved to the current site.  Just not around all that much since the data crash.

I can't do WallyWorld.  Regardless of price.
