I only ever buy Banana Republic Traveler jeans and have so for years. They’re so goddamn comfy and the colors on them stay strong after a few years wear because of the dye process they use. They’re expensive but I only ever buy on sale. The single pair I had quality issues on (thighs rubbing through back when I was heavier) seemed to be a one-off issue as none of the other pairs I had at the same time, and some for over a year longer, had minimal if any signs of wear along the same areas. They’re so comfy I‘ll wear them around the house like sweatpants sometimes. I find them to be very well fitting as well. I don’t do any hard labor or anything in them but they’re daily wearers for years.

I would probably still have the same pairs I started with like 7 years ago if I hadn’t lost weight
