I used to buy Levi’s khaki colored jeans and loved them, however, their quality had gone downhill substantially IMO lately. I’d love to find a pair of BIFL khaki colored jeans. Any suggestions would be greatly recommended.

Have you tried Duluth Trading Company?

I haven’t. Have you? How is the fit?

I haven't but my daughter in the tree industry has. They're real durable and well-stitched. She buys Duluth and 511's, another durable brand but more lightweight. She buys a size up on a lot of things so she has plenty of mobility. YMMV

My son swears by Carhartt.

Idk if it’s BIFL, but I snagged a light khaki colored denim jacket, I think LL Bean, at Goodwill recently. I’m not sure I want to keep it, so if you’re a women’s small-medium hit me up and I’ll send it to you for the cost of shipping. It’s in great shape (looks new), but I have too many other coats I don’t wear.

I don’t think that’ll quite fit me (mens XL), but good find! Their older stuff is great.

Dearborn Denim makes amazing stuff in the USA.

Thank you. This was exactly what I was looking for. Right fit and professional enough for work. Just placed my order

The older carhart duck canvas pants feel exactly like denim and are insanely durable. I’ve had a pair for over 15 years and I bought those new old stock at a flea market so I’d say they were from the late 2000s

What about this pair from Patagonia? I know about their warranty, but I don't know about the quality of their jeans

Naked and Famous. They have a range of cuts so you aren’t stuck with a work pant cut. Some styles they do a Selvedge Duck Canvas which is very hard wearing.

I was looking at Naked & Famous for a while but gave up for two reasons: 1.) I don’t like their overly sexualized and large logo (I wear these to work) and 2.) their fits are jibberish without researching what “Ultra Bro” cut means

I’m sitting at work wearing my tan canvas Weird Guys right now. The logo isn’t noticeable as it’s embossed on to the leather patch. Anyone spending that much time looking at it are probably due a trip to HR. It takes a bit of time to understand the cut I was fortunate to be able to try them on in store. Can’t recommend them enough.

If I can find a store I’d love to try them out until I can find the right fit.

If you’re ever in Sydney Australia check out Maplestore. They have 2 locations Newtown and Balmain. I believe there’s flagship stores in NYC and Montreal too. Good luck with your search!
