Lucky Brand FTW Seriously though, they are a little pricier, but I have had a couple of pairs over two years and apart from some faded colors and some wear where I keep my wallet they are still in great shape. Plus they use some small amount of spandex that makes them super comfortable, and gives them a little stretch in case I end up in a situation where I need to run or crouch. |

| Regular Wranglers from the outlet mall. About $20/pair. I find the ones with stretch to them, they seem to last longer as the material never gets taut and stresses the seams. I'm usually a 36/30, they fit well. Enough room IWB for my shield, and the front pockets are pretty deep to fit wallet, cash, flashlight, this, that, the other thing. |
Award: 24/365 Most likely to be an appendix.

| Levi's 505, 514 and 527. Have several pairs of each but I'm 5'11 168lbs. The 505 and 527 would probably not be the best idea in size 38w 34l |

I have a pair of 5.11 jeans that are going strong after a couple of years, they are the defender flex slim version. I was able to try them both in store and found there to be just a slight taper from knee to ankle but both had the same cuff opening size so I went with the slim.
My only critique is the color, no lighter wash or anything. Next up is the Banana Republic rapid movement jean. They've got all the colors and fits covered here and in other variants. Nice and stretchy, comfy, etc...they are always running a 40% off sale which make these a pretty solid buy and comparable to the mainstream jeans like levis etc... |

Another vote for 5.11 defender flex. They look like trendy jeans, have great range of motion, and stretch a little. Very comfortable for ccw, they feel like you're wearing pajamas and with a good belt your gun is weightless. I can get into a full slav squat with a g19 aiwb (Tenicor holster) in relative comfort. I tried the lapg bootleg 511 jeans, they are ok. The waist is a little lower cut and the jeans are a stiffer, more crunchy material. They flex ok and there's less belt loops. |

| I am 5’8" and 225. Hard to find jeans that fit in thighs and ass. I have a ghetto booty, as my wife says. Usually a 34 x 32 in Levi’s works, but now they are tight in thighs. I need new jeans. |

Timely thread for me, thanks to everyone. I've lost some more weight and need to replace jeans as well. I've been wearing Duluth for the last few years, love the comfort, but would like something a little more "professional" / stylish. Do any of these have a loose crotch like the Duluth stuff? I've gotten so used to that everything else I have feels terrible. |

Don't know if they're "cool" or not, but I've been buying Silver jeans. They fit well and they have more subdued washes that aren't too much for the work place. Also a fan of Ralph Lauren jeans. Both fit very well. Levis for just knocking around town. |
