I've worn Wranglers for 60 years but its a gut punch since they went to China. Are there any good quality US made jeans out there that don't have "Catch Me, Fu^k me stitching on the rear pockets?

. . . that don't have "Catch Me, Fu^k me stitching on the rear pockets? Why didn't you just say ghay jeans? :-) Don't know of any garments that I can afford that ain't made by some trained monkey overseas or outside of the country somewhere. Can't even buy socks and drawers that are made here. If they were, the worker doing a minimum wage type job would want $29.50 an hour to start

Wranglers were made in Mexico of US fabric. They have recently switched to Nicaraugua. (Not sure if fabric is still USA).
Which Wrangler’s were from China??

The Wranglers I'm wearing right now are tagged Mexico. That doesn't really make me happy either, but I'll take it over ChiCom. I'll watch this with interest, because if it can be done without wrecking my wallet, I'll switch over to decent US made jeans. LC King maybe?

Prison Blues are a great heavy denim like you used to be able to get. I switched from Carhart to them and Wildass Jeans years ago when carhart went to crap.
They are logger style tho and not western. Prison Blues does have a more traditional work jean too. They all have bachelor buttons as well.
Not much else US made i know of.

There is a company in Bristol Tn that makes jeans. There are others as well. They tend to cost 2-3x Levis and Wranglers.

Been wearing Lee stretch jeans for decades. IIRC, at one time they said made in Honduras of US fabric. Last several years they say Hecho en May-he-co. At least it's in the same hemisphere?
Don't buy anything made in China if I have a choice and every year that becomes more of a challenge. Even Taiwan is a better choice..
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

$35 a pair... Gotta look at these. Every US Jean I look at are $100+. That ain't happening for my work clothes. Get them a bit more than I'm paying for import, we got a deal!

I buy Brave Star Selvage jeans made in Los Angeles. Great stuff, frequently made of US denim and while pricy, they last.

LC King (Pointer Brand) made in Tennessee. Got some of their low back bib overalls, I tell you that when you first get them, you could put them in a corner and they would stand their all on their own. Stiff is not the word. I went to their factory and got some one time. It is like stepping back in history.

I wore Levis for years, switched to L.L. Bean and since they cost $50 + I've been wearing jeans from Walmart. Not pricey and they wear well.
