My three boys grew up wearing "Arizona Jeans". I've always thought they were more comfortable than the "leading brands". I have always been partial to LEE "relaxed fit" branded jeans too.

They are also pro gay and anti-Boy Scouts. Levi's fit me better than anything else out there right now, but I only buy them in thrift stores. That way, they don't make a profit from me. Key makes a six-pocket jean with a hidden pocket on the right mid-thigh. It's perfect for a folding measure or my cell phone. Dickies used to make jeans like this, but no more.
I got my first credit card from Pennys. I bought a Rem. 870 and later an MCS series stereo system. Both served me well until some tweaker stole them from my apartment while I was at work.
They are just barely hanging on these days and will probably be the next to go under.

They are also big supporters of Gay Rights. In the 80s, the button fly Levi's were the go to jeans for the gay crowd. So much so, that I didn't know a straight guy who would buy a pair.
That’s what I wore for years. The last couple of years I went to Duluth Trading. I like them better, plus more pockets.
We used to go to Penney's. Much like Sears they sold a little bit of everything back when. There was a Penney's warehouse & catalog overstock store close to where I grew up. My sister worked as a cashier there when she was in high school. I was about 12 or 13. She would generously get stuff for me sometimes if she saw a deal on something she thought I would like. I gave it away years ago but I had a nice leather motorcycle jacket I bought there back when. Going to the overstock store was kind of like a treasure hunt.

There is more revenue generated by the horse industry in eastern Cooke and western Grayson counties than the entire State of Kentucky. One of my golf buddies is a nationally known trainer. I bet he wears Wrangler jeans.
We’ve got one mall here and it’s had several major stores closed. Now the food court is half empty. I expect it to go under pretty soon. I think the only thing keeping it open is the JCPenney and Dillard‘s.
As far as jeans, I’ve worn wranglers for so long I don’t remember the last pair of Levi’s I had. My mom probably bought them for me. She also used to buy me JCPenney underwear, she said it was the best brand. I also haven’t worn those titey-whiteys in a long time either.
Wrangler also makes some pretty good khaki cargo pants too

There are about 10 pairs of jeans in my closet (its all I wear). All but one pair are Pro Rodeo Wranglers, slim fit. A couple of pairs are the George Strait edition, which fit about the same. The one outlier is a pair of gray Carhart jeans I bought a while back to "dress up" a bit for a funeral. Jeans of a color other than blue denim, a button-up shirt, and a sports jacket (no tie) is as dressed up as I get anymore.

I wore 13MWZ Wranglers forever, but I prefer the 47s now. I was wearing the Dale Jr. relaxed-fit jeans for a while but they are thankfully about all worn out.
HAs anyone tried the Blue Mountain brand from Tractor Supply? I miss all of the C. E. Schmitt-branded stuff they used to carry.

I only go to JC Penney because I only like to wear 100% cotton sweatshirts, sweaters and tshirts. They carry “Arizona Jean Company” and another brand that escapes me that are all cotton. They closed the one at our mall some years ago (along with Sears) and I travel to another just for this reason.
