This channel is what I think people think Consumer Reports is. It’s also information being given away for free and not behind a paywall. I really hope brands watching this pay attention because the results of these tests 100% impact what products I buy and which products I won’t. With money being so tight due to inflation, I’m hypercritical of the products I buy and I always start at Project Farm.
Thanks!
You realize that PF has advertising and gets paid for his content, right? CR doesn't have advertising.
@@rickyanke9407 you do realize he doesn’t choose the ads that appear on his channel right? He chooses to monetize his viewership through ads but he can’t control what those ads are. These aren’t paid sponsorships. Consumer Reports uses an antiquated model and frankly, why would anyone want to pay for a membership to view test results for that when on-par level work is being done here for everyone to consume?
@@rickyanke9407 he gets paid by youtube. He doesn't accept free products to do adds on

Thank you Todd how is the affordable beef going? Have a wonderful day and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
@@sterlingarcher8041 why would you say that nigga
Very thorough testing, but one thing you didn't test for is which one doesn't make my wife chide me for having jeans that give me "old man butt."
Yep. For calf, thigh and pocket space (and thanksgiving week) I like to buy jeans a tad over-sized, and cinch with a belt, but the caboose on some make me look like I took a dump.
Those would be the jeans you leave on the back of the chair. 🤪
I wonder what brand tow truck drivers like wearing? lol
Yep I lost my ass in a divorce, jeans havent fit the same since, but it was worth it.
Seems like the 'old man butt' goes with the territory. I figure if it's too bad, THEY can hide. I'm wobbling on a straight 'o course as I'm able!
Definitely will be buying the wrangler rigs when I wear this round out. Every brand I have bought so far has the back pocket as rip leaving them useless. Thanks for doing this test and many more.
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
Give the Dickies 874 a whirl, you won't regret it.
This comment is very important, because it shows that not all attributes are equally valuable. This person like back pocket strength. I might not care about hammer loop strength.
You might want to go ahead and get them and keep them on hand. Often if you wait, companies either quit making the product, or modify it so it is no longer good quality. There is the possibility that someone will make something better in the future, but don't count on it.
@debluetailfly Good point. Or with the way things are going, our country's infrastructure might lead to company shutdowns or jeans being sold out, or becoming too expensive to be worth it.
An unexpected but certainly welcome comparison.
Very impressive!
@Don't Read My Profile Photo k ys
Thank you!
@Don't Read My Profile Photo Whoa, a reply bot on my comment?
I've finally made it in life. :D
Never would have guessed wrangler rigs. I might need to spend a little more on jeans.
@@ProjectFarm You need to re-do the oscillation tool blades again. this time only focus on carbide blades and include diablo for sure
I would love to see a round 2. Your tests are more robust than the manufacturer, depicting real world wear and tear. I love your videos and look forward to them each week. Thank you for the Great content!
I remember a time when new jeans were so stiff, we had to wash 'em several times before they were even close to being comfortable and they were tough. They lasted a long time and most people put patches on 'em when a hole developed. Levi's were one of the most popular at that time. Boy have Levi's gone down hill. Greed ruins everything. Thanks for this video. I'm buying Wranglers the next time I shop for jeans.
I'm with you all the way except for the Wrangler part. Mostly been buying Wrangler & Levi but they both rip after 5-9 months. Just tried Rustler but they only lasted 3 months before the crotch tore.
I can't believe the poor quality anymore.
Those jeans were made with a different weave and with no elastic/poly added. If you want similar jeans now a days you actually do have to go into the spendy side and find "selvedge denim" jeans. Like you many people who buy these wanted the durability of the older style jeans, but now it's a bit of a fashion thing as well. Some of the best selvedge denim comes from Japan now from when they fell in love with Americana with jeans being one of the biggest icons.
Edit: what's funny is the jeans we have today were developed because people preferred the more comfortable ones over the old stiff kind, if they knew it would result in such a big hit to durability I don't know if things would have turned out the same way.
@@Ajaxykins I'm sure some of it has got to do with the weight of the fabric as well. Older jeans probably used heavier fabrics, which are more durable than the light(er) fabrics that are more widespread today.
Lol, I remember when Levi 501’s were new. They even came with unfinished hems at the foot.
I was disappointed with the wranglers I bought in recent years, nothing like the quality they were back in the 70s. ☹️
Dang, now this is a proper jeans review. Concise, backed with solid evidence, and maintains viewer attention. Subbed!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Welcome to the team.
I just go to goodwill and get my jeans there. They're a bit cheaper and more durable than the ones from now :)
Best reviewer I've seen for Jeans, subscribed as well.
This is a gem of a channel. The controlled experiments really sway my choices I make when purchasing items.
Thanks!

My first pair of Levis in 1966 stood up by themselves when I took them off. They took years to fade and then faded beautifully. Later levis always went at the crotch and the knees. A Levi jacket back then was a jacket for life!
Thanks for the feedback.
Only japan makes the best denim jn the world and bought out all the old narrow shuttle lumes and Japanese own 70 percent of all vintage levis!
And Japanese selvedge denim is the toughest shiz on the planet
You can even find 42oz denim lol literally armour
Yes, that's why l tend to buy my denim out of vintage stores........the denim, is much thicker and robust. All the major brands today: tend to use thinner denim compared to yesteryear.
Sorry bout that, posted my comment in the wrong place lol. I suck at using the iPad app, I should stick to desktop.
@@CocoKoi321 may want to check out Hardenco (hartford denim company) and other small manufacturers. I live very close to them and wasn't aware of them until somewhat recently.
Never would have thought about jeans being better than others. May use this some day!
Thank you very much!
Would love see you test pants from 1620. They are American union made. Look like quality.
Isn't this channel so clutch? I come back to PF's product comparisons so much when I'm out looking for various things to buy. I really like that he doesn't take payment for his study or opinions as well.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo Okay.
By far one of the most useful testing videos you have done. I don't know anyone who doesn't wear jeans, so another round to cover more brands would be a hit IMO!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Project Farm venturing out into the fashion section of TH-cam! A whole new audience is going to start getting PF videos in their recommendations!
Thank you!

Gotta admit...Project Farm does excellent work.
👍
Wind blocking is actually an important feature when you are trying to keep construction dust away from your skin. By that measure, Lee, Carhartt, and Nautical were 1,2, and 3.
I was thinking the same thing about dust and dirt in general. That test could go either way depending upon your intended use -- breathable for comfort, closed for protection.
or winter.
Who wants extremely cold arctic or prairie air flowing through your clothes, when you are working outdoors
@@zochbuppet448 Who would only wear jeans in that environment?
Ever heard of Thermal underwear?
@@BB-1990 Ever heard of material weaving and the different types of knits or way material is weaved together to make it stronger or to block elements regardless of what the person is wearing underneath?
I've been in construct for 30 years. Never worried about dust other than keeping it out of my eyes and not breathing in any more than I have to. Some are allergic to wood dust but I'd find another job if that was a factor.
Only thing missing from this test was Duluth Trading Co. Expensive, but from what I've experienced, pretty durable. I'd love to see how they ranked against what you tested.
Yep. They stopped making the Alaskan Hardgear Skagway jeans. They were my favorite.
I agree. I got some 40Grit brand work/carpenter jeans from Duluth and they're very comfortable and nice vs the wranglers I used to buy at Walmart.
I 2nd duluth as well as iron heart jeans from japan.
Great point!
Add rustler to the next batch, assuming they still make them.
You set a gold standard in the amount of work you put into your testing and videos.
This man deserves an award!
Thanks!
Is good work its own reward?🤔
Agreed
2.45 million subscribers is a good reward
@@gus473 See how far you get with pockets full of thanks😂
As a belt wearer, my biggest beef with any jeans is the lack of belt loops along the back of the pants. I hate it when my waistband slips below my belt. Regardless of the other features I’ll only buy jeans with at least 3 belt loops in the back, like Carhartt.
I'll give you a pro-tip. Wear suspenders.
Pants not only don't fall down, the space you can leave by not cinching your belt tight will actually keep you much cooler because air can move up the legs and out the waist. Also your undies don't get twisted around as much.
My Duluth cargos have a big fat rear loop... it's literally 3-5" wide!
I feel your pain. also hate belt loops that fail from pull ups.
Love my Duluths for many reasons. One being that they have 7 belt loops with the back one being 5” long. Never had accidental ass crack wearing these ones.
@@ObservationofLimits 😆😆
Thanks! Fantastic!
You were born for this job.
Everything is described to the smallest detail, but without wasting time on trifles around.
Everything is tested and described in a very efficient and effective way, and the methods are really ingenious. I had already asked myself several times which are the best jeans in relation to quality and price to use at work.
I've used models ranging from €20 to €170 and the best result has never been based on price.
I currently use Dewalt Pro Tradesman most of the time.
I would also like to see a test done by you with this kind of pants!
Hugs from Portugal, and thank you so much for your fantastic work!
Thanks so much! Thanks for the suggestion.
@@ProjectFarm 🙌🏼
I also thank you for your fantastic videos, and also for your kindness in always giving a nice word in the comments!
And I liked that I saw the subtle touch when you presented one of the following jeans models from the comparison you were wearing the previous model!
I hope I have made myself understood because of my poor English.
But I thought it was fantastic!
I really like your videos.
Come the next videos. Have a great day and a big thank you from Portugal.
I bought several pairs of George brand black and blue jeans from Walmart. They all were only $10 to $12 a pair. I’ve had them over a year and I wash them weekly. I use cold water, but still even after a year they still look pretty much brand new. Even the black jeans are as dark as the day I bought them and haven’t faded a bit. Great jeans for a great price if you ask me!!
Thanks for sharing.
Yes, Kid..thanks for the comment..you've encouraged mine. In SO MANY product areas...Walmart offers incredible VALUE. This is off Jeans topic...but I recently noticed Walmart offering their BlackMax self propelled lawnmowers with a heavy poly Lifetime Warrantied deck (with Briggs Stratton engines) at $450. Outside of the electric mowers..only Honda has offered such a deck..on their most expensive $700 mowers.
Bought 4 pairs of those $10.00 George black jeans for work. I also wash them immediately after wear. I work in a heavy truck manufacturing plant as a builder/assembler and they get really dirty each day and have held up very well. I don't care for the fit so much but I got them to abuse. No matter what brand of jeans I buy, the grease my employer uses will stain any fabric on first contact and the stain will NOT BE REMOVED by any detergent on the market so far. Like those George jeans just wish they fit like the Wranglers.
Fantastic! Not gonna lie, totally didn’t expect this or even think of it as a possible idea, but I would LOVE to see more.
Jeans are probably one of the most commonly used/worn things, and knowing which brand can hold up to the abuse is always excellent.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I love how your channel has evolved. No nonsense, real world results and relevant testing.
You sir, are a scientist. It is wonderful to watch you hone your skills.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much!
As a Costco shopper, I would like it if you could include Kirkland Signature products in your tests. They make many of the things you have examined in the past and they are very popular. I also would be interested in testing paper towels and toilet paper in the future. Thanks for the videos.
I agree.
The Kirkland Jeans wear so much better and longer than the Wrangler Rustlers for about the same price.
agree，Costco Kirkland Signature Jean is very common and only about $12-14. would like to get idea how it compares to others. Would be great to compare some casual jeans, not the ones having hammer loop, and extra tool pockets.
I came to the comments to say this exactly. I love when he includes Kirkland Sig products and I personally love my Kirkland jeans, never shown any wear.
I have too many Kirkland jeans. They refuse to wear out. Crazy comfortable.
Came here to say the same thing: I'd love to see Kirkland Jeans thrown in a similar test. Rumor has it, Kirkland Jeans are (were) made by Lee.
Ever since I discovered the Wrangler Riggs, I've worn nothing else. I love the wear resistance and I love the fit. They fit my body type perfectly and are super comfortable, especially after a few washes.
I've never been disappointed.
If they're good enough for the bull riders they're good enough for me .
I've noticed mine wearing out sooner. They have been my go to for a few years now. I question the use of fabric softeners and the frequency of washes. I also have been using the colored fabric Riggs from Rural King not the standard "blue" jean material. I'm only noting these differences to acknowledge the differences.
I work in GA and love the shorts. Damn near bullet proof.
Based on these results I went to Tractor Supply and bought a pair of the Blue Mountain jeans. I was pleasantly surprised when they rang up at $9.99! Can't beat that with a stick!
Thanks for sharing.
wonder why they do not cater to the 36 length crowd. It's as if they are biased against tall folk! :)
Hmmm, 10 pairs of TSC jeans vs. 1 pair of the top dog??? I'm sure that the first 4 or 5 would outlast the 1 pair.
If they fit right, there as good as anything else twice or 10x the price. At some point in time decades ago, if you bought cheap jeans you got jeans that didn't last and were lightweight, and the more expensive Levi....etc jeans lasted alot longer because they were heavier. However now they are all cheap and from recyclables, a consumer is just paying more for a brand name with no other advantage.
Based on both the test results and comparative cost, Blue Mountain jeans seem like a very good value for money option. And $9.99 is indeed a very good deal!
I find the ingenious testing rigs you devise as much or more interesting than the final test results. Never used the hammer loop as I prefer a belt one but good test for those that do use it.
I've never seen a single person use it in over 20 years of all sorts of labor.
Thanks for the feedback.
Number of belt loops should have been a consideration, for belt wearers. For example Lee normally has 7 loops mostly evenly spaced whereas brands like LevNautica, Calvin Klein are all fashion brands, not serious work brands as they only have 5 and are oddly spaced and very impractical. To each their own.
I’m with you John, I can’t stand five loop jeans.
7 belt loops should be mandatory, and some brands only give 7 loops for size 34 & above = Not Cool
AND MAKE THE ZIPPER LONGER!! TO AVOID A KINK IN THE PLUMBING.!..GEEZ -- I hope the Corporate BUYERS read these reviews
Also, would be nice to see Duluth Firehose (short zipper-->should be longer) pants comparison and Red Kap
And Carhartt has "Ripstop" Cargo pants
True Duluth fireproof fire hose pants have 9, and the back one is extra wide. Too tight for a full leather belt though.
Agreed
the 5 loop spacing is fine, but I like how wrangler does the two, pretty close together in the back. 6 loop is great for jeans. 7 for anything else.
Excellent comparison as usual. A little unrelated to the jeans in this test but I'd like to pass this thought along. Costco Kirkland blue jeans sell for 12.99 regular price each and every day here in NY. The quality vs low price is way better than they have any right to be.
Thanks!
I absolutely agree. I've been buying them for many years. A couple of months ago they were on sale for $9.99, About every five years they used to have a batch that came in black and I'd buy a stack of them. I'm down to only two pair and wishing they'd hurry up with the black ones again.
I gotta say, this is the most real life practical clothing review I have ever seen! I'd definitely be interested in a round 2, and also maybe different brands of mechanic's clothes as well.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I agree. I'm also curious about the double panel work pants
"It often happens after I test products that I discover there are far better products than the ones I've been buying." THAT is why I watch your channel. No BS, no favored brands, just the facts. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
If I ever see any products with the words "tested and approved by Project Farm" then I would buy that product 10 out of 10 times!
Easily one of the best TH-cam channels ever.
Thank you for every test!
You are welcome!
How would you know it is true and not false advertisement?
If that ever would happen, you would want confirmation or debunk from him at least.
Objectively speaking.
You ain't joking. I would too.
@@ChristofferOrrmalmUtsi if you have ever viewed his testing procedures you could not question it. Can you come up with a better method???👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻😤🤮sounds like sour grapes to me.
@@kenswitzer4133 you misunderstood him.
The good news is that after testing you can probably sell them as "distressed" jeans, at a profit! 😎
I absolutely love that you did this... especially adding the sizing correctness comparison. One suggestion would be to try to simulate how fast the jeans might wear out. Possibly a bunch of wash and dry cycles...or maybe putting them in an old dryer with some rocks or something to simulate wear and getting run through the dryer.
Or UV light
I think the sandpaper test did a decent job of demonstrating wear and tear, but that's not a bad idea
Who needs Consumer Reports when you have Project Farm??? Another awesome job reviewing popular products. Thank you so much. 👍
Thank you!
Project Farm is a straight shooter. Consumer Reports is BS
Who needs Consumer Reports anyway?
@@glennso47 Exactly, they are easily bought, as in, taking bribes from major corporations for favorable reviews.
For round two, try and get a pair that are dynema blend, generally aimed at motorcycle protection wear than work and going to be the most expensive by a lot, but they should be lighter, stronger, with far better cut and abrasion resistance. Apparently dynema blend even feels cool from the high thermal conductivity of dynema.
This is the second time hearing about dynema. First was from The Slingshot Channel using it to make crossbow strings.
@@SentinalhMC it’s one of the strongest fibers in existence.
@@SentinalhMC I've really been thinking about ordering some dynema cut protection gloves. They should offer some of the most protection for the thickness which hopefully means keeping enough dexterity to actually use them. It's also found it's way into the naval world in ropes and sails, and ultralight backpacking gear.
This is way better and more entertaining than consumer reports. I love this channel.
I can't tell you how many times I've snagged a pocket (especially a coat pocket) on something and tore a hole so I appreciate that test. It looks like the Blue Mountain or the Dickies wouldn't exactly save my life if I was hanging over a cliff, but still impressive at 138 lbs.
For me it's usually a corner or sheet metal. I've ripped holes in so many insulated flannels.
Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely a round 2 is needed. Appreciate the level of testing you do Todd. Your channel has helped makes some of my purchasing decisions. Best on youtube hands down!
Perhaps Round 2 could be non-bluejean work pants like duluth firehose pants. That's what I use when trotting around the cactus and thornbushes, but I'd be interested in seeing other materials.
These are the kind of reviews and comparisons I love. Factual data, identical tests, no price or brand bias. I have yet to see a video I didn't trust the results of
Thank you very much!
Please continue the Jean testing.
Appears that this comparison/showdown could go viral. Who would have guessed.
To quote from Dragnet: "Just the facts, ma'am."
Years ago, when Sears was Sears, I recall that they switched their catalog to doing just that. Giving us what we nowadays call the speeds and feeds of their stuff.
This was very informative and quite comprehensive. You may have excluded them because a membership is required to purchase them, but I like the quality and value of Sam's Club Member's Mark jeans (about $12). . . and if I'm remembering correctly, Costco's Kirkland brand jeans are an equally good value. If you do another round of tests, I'd suggest including both of those. Thanks for your great work.
You have influenced many people's buying habits. Thank you for what you do. I'm pretty sure we would all appreciate a round 2 for the jeans.
Thanks for the video idea.
@@ProjectFarm 6:14 FAIL... where is the $99 jeans?
@@Melicoy If you look a little closer at the chart you will see they are on there at 74 which was the most breathable. He did mislabel the price on that chart but give him a break!
All the way to the left?
I also would like a round 2. When I was in boy scouts they taught us how to make jeans into a floating device by tying the pant legs and wearing like a life vest. They called this the Dolly Parton. They held air much better when wet.
I switched away from Levis years ago, after they started making their jeans from much thinner and cheaper seeming denim, I wanted durability and longevity from my jeans. I discovered that LL Bean makes jeans very comparable to what Levis used to be. I also discovered Duluth Trading jeans are made from thicker material and have reinforced areas (using fire hose fabric). I would like to see you test these products against other durable products. I haven't bought jeans other than Duluth or LL Bean for over a decade (and I have worn out only one pair).
Thanks for the suggestion.
Most of this crap is made in china,or viet nam or where ever,I'm sick of cheap quality clothes.
@@johnjaco5544 Yep I'm a believer in the idea that spending more is often a better value, but that just isn't the case with jeans today as in most cases you pay for the name and/or style and not the quality. There are some exceptions but Levi's are pretty much all junk.

There are some heavyweight denim jeans that can literally stand up by themselves and take forever to break in. 32 oz, 40 oz, etc. Jeans enthusiast world can get very weird :D
Great point!
If you wash them several times in cold water with a fabric softener, does that make them flex faster?
@@dougjb7848 the jeans enthusiast world don’t like to wash their jeans until they get their stacks or whatever they call it. The wear lines in the legs.
@@dougjb7848 fabric softener is just a chemical coating for the fabric to make it feel softer and doesn't actually soften fabrics. Essentially you coat your clothing in a thin wax/plastic layer that feels good to the skin.
they make kevlar jeans for motorcycle riding which are likely the strongest jean ever. made to prevent abrasion from sliding on the road. they look and feel like jeans although i cant say for certain they contain any jean material
I used to wear Rustler jeans when I was a kid.
When I got around 15 years old I started wearing Wrangler Cowboy cut.
Started with the 32 series, but quickly switched to the 47 series.
After 8 years of hard work; I still have all of them minus two.
Great jeans and worth every cent!
But not all Wranglers are equal. The Cowboy cut is the most durable.
Thanks for sharing.
This was absolutely amazing. I would be very interested in the testing of more jeans.
I like the inclusion of subjective criteria, but maybe you should illustrate that point a little more by (for example) showing the best and worst fabrics and maybe pointing at flaws in the fit.
I absolutely love your tests, please continue doing this
Thanks so much.
@@ProjectFarm Key Apparel
Problem here, You can but a pair of jeans from the retail store and a pair online and not only do they fit differently, but they are made in different factories in a different part of the world.
"Flaws in the Fit" is an incredibly subjective category! Best of luck testing for for that ... !
Walmart jeans have zero crouch room.
Dearborn Denim for jeans. Usa made good prices. Patagonia hemp for non denim work pants. They hold up unbelievably well and breathe great. The Roundhouse used to be the go to but they cannot be had in any timely way.
Added to the list for round 2
I've used Lee for a long time even and have always had a durability beyond levi's, uniform or chevignon. Neither of these last two justifies the value.
Once again your channel demonstrates that quality is not more expensive sign. Thank you
You are welcome!
I think work coveralls would be a great video, there’s alot of different brands and prices and you can’t be too sure of the quality and value of each. Love all your videos thank you for your work.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Another great set of tests! The graphs list the Lucky brand as costing $35 instead of $99, but you mention their expensiveness enough times that I don't think it'll confuse anyone.
I noticed that too lol
You can find them routinely at tjmaxx or Marshall's for around that 35 dollar price. I've got a pair on clearance as Dillard's as well in the same range. The original price is closer to the 100 range but why spend it if you don't have to, especially if they're just to destroy them.
Sorry for the error on my part. Should be $99.
Yeah I noticed that also but knew it was an honest mistake. Didn’t bother me.
@@billpattillo9597 Didn't even know you could buy Lucky brand outside of their independent mall stores. That's cool.
Lucky is labeled as $35 on all the charts. These tests were great! Way to find tests that would give real world results.
I noticed that as well.
I noticed too. I am glad I checked comments before I said something. Still an awesome video. Now I can go buy some new jeans :)
@@vintage-red-carpetmasonic-38 center left of your keyboard is the caps lock button.
@@vintage-red-carpetmasonic-38 I wore only Lucky Brand store bought jeans in the 2000s, and they are not the same as the Lucky jeans sold at Sam's Club. Sam's Club "Lucky Brand" jeans are relabeled cheap jeans. I have a feeling that all the charts say "$35" for the Lucky's because they were bought at Sam's Club for $35, but are listed on the Lucky site at $99, but are not the same jeans. (And I'm not defending the Lucky jeans... I haven't gotten to ANY of the results yet. My 20+ pairs of $100+ Lucky jeans were not known for their durability.)
Thanks Todd! You're truly a national treasure! It'd suit me fine if they abolished the CPSC & just let you take over the testing of products! I'd trust your findings far more than anyone else.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback and for the generosity! It helps a lot!
@@ProjectFarm very welcome sir. Take a portion of that there dinero & buy cousin eddy some meat to go in his hamburger helper 😂 he's looking a little famished
@@ProjectFarm Best Microfiber Rag test next.
Include norwex
Definitely he is.
I wouldn’t want to go against this guy in a highschool science fair. He develops good tests and performs them on a wide verity of products. Love this channel.
Yeah I agree. University student might not about do that
I would definitely like to see a round two! This testing was extremely useful.
Thanks for the suggestion. Glad to hear!
I 💯 agree with more testing on everyday clothes for tradesman. Specifically atlas 46, double knee carharts, and Duluth. I could never pull the trigger on such expensive pants if the cost to own a pair lasts just as long. Same thing with boots. Tried em all except the really expensive repairable boots over 3-400. All don’t last more than a year for me.
I have made the change to the expensive jk custom made work boots. Yes the cost a lot more then mass production boots. But not only do you get a boot built to your foot that is rebuildable, but you literally get twice the boot as many other brands to start with. Soles twice as thick, leather twice as thick.
my timberland boondocks held up for over a year and a half.
@@natepeterson7145 unfortunately I've owned three Timberland boots and I murdered them all in less than 3 months. I spray the sewers with pesticide which means using my feet to kick the manhole lid hook and walking on hot Arizona asphalt and desert terrain. I think it's the heat that causes the sole to wear out so quick. Best I could find between cost and durability is these 80 dollar sketchers boots... they last about 6 months. I even killed my slightly worn Redwings in only 7 months... 250 bucks gone just like that. My job is really hard on boots. If I push my luck then I burn the bottom of my feet or have thorns from cacti and trees or rocks push through the soles and impale me. The whitethorn acacia is brutal. 3" long thorns that are tougher than toothpicks. Had one of those go in my heel. I've learned to put newee boots on when I have days where I have to trek the desert. Wish I could find a pair that would at least last a year.
Been using the same Dickies steel toe work boots for the past 3 years. Worked in them in all weather conditions, put them through their paces in general and they only started to get that broken in feel this year. Even though they're made in China, they've held up surprisingly well.
Can we take a second to appreciate how much thought had to go into the order of these tests to not invalidate results of later tests by the wear of the earlier ones? A good video as always!
I watch your videos due to the thoroughness of your tests and although I may well place more emphasis on one category rather than another I applaud your testing. As a result of this video I began buying the Tractor Supply Blue Mountain jeans especially since they are regularly on sale for $15. Using the $10 rewards that I accrue during the year from other purchases I can buy the jeans for only $5.00, a great deal! I find them to be among the most comfortable jeans that I have ever worn and that includes many different brands during my 70 years. I would and have recommend them to anyone who wants functionality and not just a brand name on a tag.
Thanks for sharing.
Excellent, as always. I stopped wearing jeans many years ago as I felt that they were hot and uncomfortable while working on my knees under houses (HVAC). Loose denim can bunch into folds behind your knees and become uncomfortable or even painful. I switched to standard Dickies work pants and have worn them ever since, even when not at work, but it appears from these tests that the looser weave of denim might actually be cooler in many situations. The "0" air flow materials in this lineup would be very sweaty and uncomfortable in my humid climate, though I find regular Dickies pants to be cooler than jeans.
Walking around with swampass all day isn't very comfortable. As kids we called it SAD; sweaty ass disease.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
I've been wearing Lee Carpenter jeans for years, mostly because they happen to fit me more comfortably than any other brand that I've tried. A few years ago they significantly upgraded their materials and I haven't had to patch holes in pockets, or retire jeans due to a blowout since the change. The only major wear spots for me now are the cuffs and the edges of the pockets where my knife and flashlight clips sit.
Lee is easily the best.
Another fantastic experiment from PF. I used to work in construction and during those decades I only wore Rustler jeans. At that time I couldn't stand the idea tearing or ruining a good pair of Levi's. Any pair of jeans that I wear today I get a lot of extra goody out of them by putting an iron on patch on the inside once the knee starts to wear.
That's why I love this channel. You keep doing videos I didn't know I needed to see. I'll have to give those Wrangler Riggs a try, next time I'm buying jeans.
A comparison of the various fire hose/canvas work pants would be another I'd happily sit through. Currently a Duluth Trading Company fan but I'm open to trying something else based on your testing. You've got the best test channel on TH-cam!
Thanks so much! Thanks for the suggestion.
I really liked excluding subjective measurements from the numerical rating! I would also still like to hear your classic "best value" vs "best overall" that you often did previously including the subjective feelings though.
Great feedback. Thank you!
I love duluth, cargo/canvas pants are superior to jeans by far.
Your pocket testing system was so satisfying to watch for some reason haha. Thanks so much for the amazing videos ad always.
You are welcome!

They're both awesome! Wranglers are made for Cowboys with a square butt and Let's say you're going to a country themed event or you are actually out in the country and you're from the city never be afraid to put yourself in a good pair of Lee's or Wranglers! Don't be self-conscious Ain't no one going to fault you for slapping a pair of American classics on your rear end.........Now there's so many types of Levi's but there is one for you It just depends on whether you have a long or short waist or wear boots But you must take into account most Levi's are for people with a rounded dairy airYou feel pardon my French..... I personally love the classic 501 shrink to fits. My dad was always a zipper manand the beauty of 501 or zip up blue jeans by Levi's they fade so evenly into the softest material ever.
@@jphillips7083 I think it’s spelled derrière but if you work on a farm dairyair will work.
@@jphillips7083 The Wranglers tested here are not the classic Wrangler Cowboy Cut old fashioned style they are historically known for.
One of my largest concerns when it comes to jeans is how they rub when I'm sweaty. I sometimes have to buy jeans that are less cost effective because they don't chafe as bad. Rather than do a subjective rating on how soft they are when dry, you could do something where you tested the friction on a skin-like surface when damp. That would be a field I would very much like to see.
Thanks for the feedback.
I would think similar to the sand paper test just with silicone instead of sandpaper. Use a scale to pull them across. This is the reason I dont wear jeans... Chaffing and sweating
Never had that problem but my thighs don't rub together. And I'm a woman. When backpacking with men, some of them wore compression shorts under their pants to deal with chafing. You can use preparation H on feet to help prevent blisters. Blisters are caused by three things, Heat, Friction and Moisture. If you can eliminate one of those, no blister. I Wore 2 pair of socks to deal with the friction since I can't do anything about heat or moisture. If it's about hair, you could try removing hair where it chafes.
I would argue your problem isn't the jeans. You need better underwear.
Good point. Can't wear jeans which chafe too much
*I didn't think I would get any useful info out of this! But now I have to buy Summer Jeans and separate Winter Jeans!*
I vote for a Round 2!
I really thank you for your channel.
Also one thing I've noticed is that after your showdown the companies that standout to be the best in that certain product tends to raise the prices as your videos get more popularity.
You are welcome!
Levi 505s are my fav for looks and fit but amazing how tough and durable some of the other jeans faired in this test! Great info for future purchases, thanks so much!!
I've been a Wrangler guy for over 20 years. Levi's became overpriced and It seemed they would wear out quickly. A great video!✌️
I was Carhartt guy, about 10 years ago I switched to Wrangler Riggs because they are way more durable but I get the canvas cross stitched stuff they make it's basically bulletproof cheaper than Carhartt - Carhartt's junk now.
Levi is not only overpriced for the quality, they also went woke.
@@gotdangedcommiesitellyahwa6298 They went woke in the late 70's. Most didn't notice.
@@gotdangedcommiesitellyahwa6298 lol these snowflakes
Same, I've been a fan of Wrangler, and Rustler(when i was broke, and needed basic black jeans for work) since my teens(now in my early 40's), and while I've strayed a few times over the years to try other brands nothing holds up, or fits like Wrangler/Rustler for the money be it full length jeans, jean shorts, khaki pants/shorts, or camo pants/shorts, but I'm sad Walmart stopped carrying the Wrangler flex series, and I now have to go onto Amazon, and order the Wrangler Authentics which are a 1/2 step down with a different waist band, and more expensive, but at least being a short guy I can find them in 32x29 so I don't have to roll them up so much, and of which I've not seen in almost any other brand. So i will be buying Wranglers for years to come.
I'm looking forward to a round 2. I feel there are different grades of denim found in Levi's and wranglers dependant upon the shade or how dark the color is. I have also experienced that these brands have a value line and a heavy duty line dependent upon the store
Definitely different grades of denim, but good luck figuring out which is which. I bought their "premium" line and it was stiffer, fit worse, and wore out quicker than their normal line... They're made in so many different factories and sweatshops around the world i think the quality depends on the factory and the shift working...
Levi's are much cheaper IMO than 20 years ago. I'm off that wagon.
Carhartt has at least 3 different types denim utility jeans .
My favorite channel for reviews, it's nice to see my favorite jeans on the top 2 of this chart too.
Thanks! Glad to hear!
Damn was hoping for best work pants😭😭😭. Duluth fire hose, Carthartts, and Patagonia iron forge hemp, etc.
Better luck next week 😭
Added to my list! Thank you
@@ProjectFarm no thank you! Top 3 channels on TH-cam.
@@ProjectFarm Great comparison test as always. Beginning of video Lucky Jean's show $99 but in every results chart it shows Lucky Jean's as $35. Thanks for another informative video to help us decide what Jean's to buy for what use.
I'm impressed with Blue Mountain doing so well on most tests and for the price they are a good buy. The Wrangler Authentic is also a good buy and I have had good luck with those
Thank you. I used to buy Levi's jeans, but never again. Your tests prove why, also because of political reasons that the CEO spews out.
Thanks for the feedback.
I never thought I needed this, but I'm glad it's here.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I'd really like to see some belt loops strength testing. That's one of the biggest failure points I've found in my jeans.
I've experienced the same thing. Very annoying
Crotch.
Same here. Always the first thing to go for me.
This vid is timed perfectly for me. I recently lost about 20 pounds and need some new jeans. I've been paying about $60 for jeans for years now, and I'm glad that I can save some money buying Wrangler Carpenter jeans. Thanks so much for this vid. The effort, detail, and thought you put into your testing is the reason that your channel is one of the few that I have set to notify me of all vids.
I hope this is the good type of weight loss and not the result of an illness.
@@garethbaus5471 It's the result of a change in diet where I have as little sugar and carbs as possible, and a lot of dietary fiber.
@@TheZoenGaming 👍 good for you, same here. I've come to realize there's fewer days ahead than behind so I'd like the days ahead to at least be enjoyable. I run the Wrangler cargo pants for a daily uniform & I'm out doing some pretty heavy stuff. They wear like iron. I don't think you can go wrong with them.
Waist sizes have gotten way out of kilter. Maybe the manufacturers are trying to keep Fat Americans
(most of us) in happy denial.... But what used to be an actual 32 inch waist, now needs suspenders, or you'll have to work with one hand holding up your pants. Everyone remains delusional, as we transition to a Nation of handicaps, where everyone over fifty is riding an electric fat cart.
20 pounds of water weight 🤣
Some people from Levi's came up my school about 35 years ago very proud about their tradition and the heavyweight materials they used. Too bad they've gone cheap since then.
Yep. And why they ever discontinued silver tabs baffles me
And their politics are awful.
@@bryanbiltoft8141 And they are now a corporate naming rights john for the stadium they slapped their name on. (Of course, after paying whatever amount of $$$ for the right).
Thanks for the feedback.
Levi's back pockets always leave a hole in the butt when they start tearing off way too soon. It should've been their trademark for the past 50 years.
been having that problem, its even starting to show up when you Google that issue
I agree with your timeline. Levis were awesome when I was a teenager. By the time I was in my 30's they were ghosts of their former glory.
Levi's quality is trash, and their politics is worse. I'll never buy another pair.
I can never get over how great your channel is. The thoughtfulness and overall quality is fantastic. Also the fact that they are extremely educational. Absolutely love it.
I have jeans that are made in China that I bought from Walmart for as low as $6 about 30 years ago and I still have them and they are still in good shape, but I find it extremely suspicious that out of the hundreds of jeans that are made in China he chose to test the most expensive one that he could find to defame “Made in China” products. One thing I find consistent among the “non-biased” crowd is their consistent hatred of anything that is “Made in China!” These days it’s extremely hard to find any Americans that aren’t an anti-China propagandist!
“When we want to go to war with someone we invent the reasons,” said Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colon Powell. Is it a wonder out of the US’s 246 years of history the USA has been in a war with other countries in all of those 246 years except for 14 years? Furthermore, if we include the Civil War and the numerous wars that the US has been with native Americans there isn’t a single year that the US isn’t at war! All of these wars were started with the massive propaganda campaign and the demonization of the others (The majority of which are non-Whites) just like the ones we have been launching against China, but once we dig deeper into the matter it always reveals the US is the troublemaker, the one that caused the war to happen!
Thanks!
@@grandwonder5858 I feel as though you would have also been bothered if he bought the cheapest pair, or just a middle of the line pair; it seems you are going out of your way to be upset!
I'd like to see another episode with just work pants in general! Duluth has the fire hose pants, Carhartt has the thick canvas type materials, etc... I work in trees and am always buying new pants.
I like double front Carhartt
it would be cool if he tested a couple 5.11 pants, i wear them daily doing residential HVAC, and they've held up incredibly well, besides some pipe dope and mastic stains
would be cool to see how they compare to other higher end work/tactical pants
Carhartts look like they're tough but they're not the more you wash them they wear out quick
1 month later, the 5.11s are still holding up really well, teflon coating on the pairs that advertised it is still waterproof, not really stain proof at all tho, all of them(4)) are extremely dirty, except the darker color i ordered one pair in
no rips or tears, still mega comfy
@Appalachian Minutemen Agreed
Levi's were much more durable when they were made in the USA back in the 1980s. I was a janitor in the Levi factory and they would give me a pair of jeans every few runs to test the wear as I had the most physical job in the plant. Then Bush the first and Clinton made it too easy to move plants out of the country and the factories here closed down. The quality has suffered ever since.
Everything was more durable in the past, when people were poorer, things were cheaper, and people only pushed one.
Late stage capitalism is your complaint. Race to the bottom.
Epstein didn't killed himself !
Damn tru
Yeah but its not because they are made in other countries man, its cuz they lowered the standards, a factory always make you what you want
red kap work jeans are the best I've ever owned, I have 3 pairs I've worn since 2009 and they are still fine
Thanks for the feedback.
Excellent breakdown! As someone who recently switched to almost all Duluth jeans/pants I'd be interested to see how they stack up. They have regular jeans and "fire hose" pants I can tell you are quite tough. Might not be a fair comparison but I'm interested at least :)
Me too!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I use almost all Duluth firehose pants for work across thier different styles. From my experience whether it's the thin or thick fabric it wears out in the crotch first. Despite that being the reinforced selling point. Everywhere else holds up just fine.
@@ProjectFarm I too would like to see duluth firhose, I've been using them for a few years and they seem pretty rugged.
Ive switched to Ariat Jeans and they have been really good. Add them to the list.
I remember as a kid, Levi's would be handed down and go through 3 or 4 kids before the knees blew out. When I started working as a framer in my 20's a pair of Levi's would last about 2 or 3 weeks before the knees, butt, and crotch blew out.
Army cargo pants is what I ended up wearing while framing. Most have double knees, huge pockets and best part, when they got wet, dried while wearing fairly quick for the rainy season
Maybe don't spend so much time crawling around on your hands and knees doing so much dry-humping on the job?
I bought a pair of 501 jeans because they lasted when I was a kid. New pair worn twice and then had to throw them away.
@@Cykyn Yeah, it seems like sweat/moisture is what kills jeans the fastest. I switched to Duluth pants which shed water, but then your pockets, socks and underwear are soaking wet by lunchtime in the summer.
Last pair of Levi's I bought didn't last 2 trips through the washing machine and I work a freaking desk job. Total waste of money. I'll never buy another pair of Levi's.
I really like the blue mountain jeans from TSC. They’re on sale right now for $10 a pair. Also, the wrangler regular fit are really well made for $25.
Thanks for the feedback.
I've had a very different experience with relaxed fit. I do nothing more demanding than walking a lot and have found that 5 star relaxed develop a crotch hole after a month or so! And now they stopped carrying them at Target it seems, so I'll have to order online. I'm not sure that more expensive jeans would be more cost effective than these essentially "disposable" ones though.
don think anyone does a review as good as this man this is a true consumer report
Thanks!
One thing I'd love to see added, is putting all of these jeans into a tumbler (like a dryer) for 100 hours. Really let them get roughed up. Then retest some of the tests to see which hold up after extended "use"
I think this is a great idea to include in the next test, also testing the abrasion resistance of the jeans against themselves as my thighs often rub a hole in the crotch area after extended wear.
@@MrJacobrestes same happens to me. Something like attaching a patch to a palm sander and sanding it against the same jean brand would be good
Thanks for the suggestion.
Absolutely. I tend to have crotch blow outs after they've gotten some wear.
I'm pretty sure the sandpaper abrasion test covers this but doesn't take a hundred hours.
Eye-opeing and super informative, as always! Would love to see a Round 2 with Kirkland and Sam's Club jeans (you should include Costco and Sams in everything you test!), and maybe even some fashion/designer jeans to find out if $300 jeans are worth it. I probably still won't be able to convince my wife otherwise, but it seems to me that Mother jeans and True Religion jeans are quite a bit overpriced!
While you're at it, maybe test a few Dri-fit workout shirts like UnderArmor, Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Fila, Tesla, LuluLemon, Alo, etc. I'd like to see if $60 workout T-shirts actually perform any better than $15 shirts at wicking sweat, drying out, keeping cool, etc.
Used to buy Sams club jeans every other week to stock up.....they were about 12.00/pair in 2009. Now they are way too expensive. Pisses me off. Walmart and SC got very expensive.
When I was a kid my mom would buy us Sears Toughskin Jeans. They were like wearing sandpaper but they never wore out. 🤣
Great video as always, I needed a new pair myself for work and this will definitely influence my decision. On the charts with the data, I noticed the $99 dollar Lucky brand was listed as $35 instead. Thanks for all the extensive testing!
I noticed that too glad I seen this comment
Lucky makes jeans in several different countries. I'm guessing that the $35 is correct since they're from china which tends to be less expensive. I've seen similar ones at costco for around that price.
The Wrangler Riggs have a great crotch design, if having to step over or up while working is an issue, the design makes the crotch flexible and stepping up or over is easy. Especially for people with large thighs. Another excellent video..
Thanks!
Man I really love the creative ways to test things out. Great job as always. Been telling people about your channel. Can't wait for round 2. By the way. Earlier this year I went with the wrangler Riggs and they fit comfy. Need to wash them 2 times to make them feel comfortable. 1st time felt like sand paper to the waist but I love them now. Glad to see they made it to 1st.
Dang it! Every time I watch one of your analyses, I realize that I need to switch brands on something! Seriously, though, what a great presentation. I've watched so many of these, and learned so much. I really appreciate all of the info.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I’ve been wearing Levi’s for years and they’ve definitely gotten progressively worse over the last 25 years or so. When I started wearing them they were the only jeans that would hold up working in the sawmill. I don’t think they would anymore.
I stopped wearing Levi’s when the company got political. Wrangler cowboy cut are all I wear now, and they hold up great to everything I do, from working in the sawmill to cutting firewood in the mountains.
Thanks for the feedback.
You aren't wrong. My 30 yo Levi's are much heavier than my 5 yo Levi's.
They no longer make them in the US....that is the issue
@@jeffreygoodin9643 but many of the high performing jeans here are Chinese brands..
❤ I am a firm believer that no one needs $100 jeans to look good. Thanks for sharing ❤
Absolutely!!
Especially the ones in this test. Those were the most unattractive jeans in the test.
Those Lucky Jeans look so feminine and gay 🏳️🌈 AF anyway with their fancy stitching...
Back in Vietnam, the Seal team, platoon 10, often wore Levi's 501 button fly jeans. Choosen over BDU pants, because they allowed smooth quiet movement through the jungle. And were better with insects and leeches. 505's had noisy zippers, but the 501's, were silent. They were snug enough to not fall down, but had crouch room, for freedom of movement, and comfort. They held up better, and that helped everyone survive.
Where did you read that from?
The seal team as opposed to seal team #. Not buying ocean front in Arizona.
@@TheKeyMaker you mean like Master Chief Thomas H. Keith, Seal Team #2?
The only Seals who wore Levi's were those who were part of the Phoenix Program. They didn't wear Levi's for smooth quiet movement through the jungle, they wore them because they dampened the sound of movement through the water. The Navy issued trousers caused drag which agitated the water and made a lot of noise because they were lose fit. The Levi's hugged their legs better causing less resistance and prevented agitation of the water.
They also wore locally sourced tiger stripe camo shirts because it blended in far better with the jungle terrain than standard issue. My late Uncle Jim's best friend Tom was a Seal. Sadly, like a lot of people who were in Vietnam from 61-71, his fate was sealed the same way as my Uncle's via exposure to the chemicals that they used in their warfare during Vietnam. Personally, I think the 107 different prescriptions that the VA had my Uncle on pushed his death sooner than he should have died.
Cousin Eddie has no beer belly? Lol. Extremely thorough testing! Big thumbs up as always. Thanks!
Cousin Eddie and I could swap clothing
Thank you very much!!
I feel that my blowout risk is high no matter what jeans I wear.
Stop eating taco bell.
Word my brother…..word.
Me too
The crotch in my pants wear out first.
You must have a solid snake.
Why did the Lucky Jeans change in price from $99 to $35 (looks like that wasn't the only price change)? But for not being work jeans, they hold up pretty well. Would be a good video to do something similar with designer jeans and see what more money gets you.
