Levi 501 - 501, pants


I really like the Riggs Workwear series in general. I prefer the Ranger pants (with large cargo pockets). I got these as a "dressier" version since they don't have the cargo pockets. They are super tough pants and take a beating. They also break in well and become very comfortable after wearing them 6 or 7 times. The leather protector on the right pocket is nice, but as some others have said, is too thick for anything but a tape measure clip (or similar) -way- too big for a pen. Wish they came in some other colors, but these are the best engineered pants around. Riggs Workwear By Wrangler Men's Ripstop Carpenter Jean, Dark Khaki, 54W x 32L

These are the best pants I've ever had for a long time. I wear them as a dress pants, and on the farm. They're comfortable and they have the right size e.g. 37 for waist. I only give them 4 stars, because I've noticed after a year they would fry between the legs, by the seems. I've also noticed that the quality went down as well. I bought these pants when they first made them years back from "Gemplers". It was the only place where you can get them. Now they're available every where and that's when I noticed the quality issue. My first 2 pairs lasted the longest. All of the new ones, they're rated for about a year. These are the only pants I wear now, I've got 9 of them over the years and there is 2 brand new in my closet. I've told all my friends about them, and they went and got some when they went on sale from "Menards". They had the same issue with the frying between the leg as well.

These are the greatest pants a working man could ever hope for. I wore them while roofing my house and the "Ripstop" material lives up to its name. No matter how many nails, splinters, and sharp corners I dragged them across...the material never suffered a bit of damage. The leather sewn over the pocket is the perfect answer to torn cloth from steel measuring tape clips, cell phones, etc. These are comfortable, look great, and really perform on the job. No more denim for me. Im buying these from now on. Highly recommended! - 501 - Pants - Jeans - Levi 501'
