Let's talk jeans!

For everyday wear, I switched away from jeans to Duluth Trading's Firehose pants. Blue ones are my "jeans" and I have some khaki's too. They are around 45 bucks when they're on sale but they NEVER wear out. The material is comfortable and they look good. In the long run I think they are a good deal also for the fact that you're not going through the inconvenience of shopping every year.

I kept my old prematurely-worn Levi's for really dirty jobs.
