No, I am not at all overweight. Carhartt just makes more durable pants, and I hate shopping.
- thatjoeoverthr 16d agoThe 5-6 months is in line with other slop brands I’ve tried, e.g. H&M. Sad to see Levis join them in the gutter.

- hdgvhicv 16d agoI had a pair rip about 12 years ago. Cheap jeans from the supermarket - might have been the £4 ones. That’s the only time. In that case I was fortunate I was away from work but going to the airport, went through security with my cheeks hanging out, then went to fat face. Those worked fine (well u til I no ok get fitted their 32” waist), but so do my current “tu” supermarket jeans.
- 27183 16d agoI go through a couple pairs of carhartts per year, so like $10/mo for pants basically. Seems like a pretty good deal. I'd probably go through at least twice as many pairs of jeans. It's a good product. Darn Tough socks are another good one.
- StilesCrisis 16d agoWhy would being overweight make your jeans rip? Only if you were buying the wrong size...
- irishcoffee 16d agoSorry, stranger on the internet, I was simply qualifying a failure case.
- StilesCrisis 16d agoOr rather, the non-failure case!
- toast0 16d agoI abandoned levi's in mid-late 200x. They didn't last nearly long enough in the style I prefer (at the time, 501s were still reportedly durable maybe just the special tab ones, but I won't wear button fly). Plus the whole deal with inconsistent sizing got tiresome. LL Bean jeans are pretty decent and consistent.
