I like black jeans… go with anything. I miss my old stone washed ones - super soft with a marble appearance. ---

Levi 505’s. Forever and always. Durable and I have been told my ass looks good in them. ---

I’m partial to light or medium blue, not the traditional dark blue denim. I used to buy Levis, then switched to an off-brand at a casual-wear store, and lately have found perfectly good jeans at Walmart – where I rarely shop unless absolutely necessary, but sometimes it is. They are some off-brand but well-made and comfortable. The pair I’ve been wearing almost daily for a couple of years now is in almost perfect condition except for a small tear at the knee, which was the result of my tripping over a curb and attempting to plant my face on the sidewalk. The jeans saved my knee from what would have been a very bad scrape. But I have several brand new ones just like them in reserve! ---

I don’t have a particular favorite pair of jeans, but I absolutely have a particular style. Ever since the the 1980s, I’ve only worn Levi’s; over the past decade or so, I settled on the 513 model (a “slim straight” cut). I have a few pairs of 513s in black, but most of them are blue, and I prefer them when they’re well broken-in, faded, and soft. ---

I’m female and hate most jeans made for women. No front pockets or the pockets are 2 inches long, either high-waisted or low-cut, and don’t even get me started on skinny jeans! UGH So I’ve been wearing men’s jeans from Walmart - George brand. I get athletic cut. They are really comfy. Nice pockets, waist band hits my bellybutton, there’s a bit of stretch to them and they have a straight leg. I think the last pair I bought was $19.98. ---

I have two pair of “Timber Creek by Wrangler” jeans I purchased years ago at an outlet store. They’re old, beat-up, faded and raggedy at the cuffs, but I still wear them every day around the house. I have another pair slightly less old, slightly less faded and slightly less raggedy that I might put on if we go shopping. I call them my “dress jeans.” Above the jeans, however, I wear good quality t-shirts and polo shirts, and I’ll toss them when they get too worn-out. Since retiring I can dress as I please, but I still have **some** class. ---

I wear these. [Wrangler® RIGGS Workwear® Carpenter](https://www.wrangler.com/shop/wrangler-riggs-workwear-carpenter-3W020.html?merchCategory=WRG_MEN_WORKWEAR&dwvar_3W020_color=3W020AI) And the “Carpenter pants” from the same company. The leather tape measure guard on the front pocket is a great feature for me. ---

Levi’s 501’s. Only buy them from the Thrift Store. I’m a Cheap Bastard. And they just don’t hold up like they used to, so get them as cheap as possible. But they gotta be 501’s. ---

501 Shrink-to-Fit button fly Levis have been the only pants I’ve worn for over 50 years. In hot weather I make my own cutoffs out of them. The only exceptions have been “dressier” slacks for a handful of weddings and funerals. ---

I haven’t worn jeans for a long time. I find them stiff and uncomfy. I wear leggings or sweats. But if I Had to have a pair, it would be light blue. ---
