[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1171246, member: 9096"] I've discovered that denim companies don't think there are any tall skinny guys out there, I'm a 30 waist, 32 inseam, been that since I was about 16... darned near impossible to find pants, so i don't get to be too picky about cut. I do like wranglers, but their quality has tanked in the last bunch of years... doesn't matter the brand, they're all the same now as far as the denim goes, you just pay for the brand. I bought a walmart brand pair for $18 and wranglers for $22. I am stingy as well, so I save money on footwear by not wearing shoes from march to october, I build up some darned tough leather on my feet and have no problem walking on gravel, or through freshly cut alfalfa stubble. I wouldn't mind the increase in price so much if the quality was there to back it up, but what chafes my arse is that we keep paying more for less and less quality.. Like plastic 10qt pails are so flimsy now they're pretty much one time use.. Tarps are the same. Cummins now makes most of it's parts in china, but doesn't give anyone a break on price, you still pay full price for lesser quality. All the old tool companies, etc are "mining" their reputation and selling garbage.. eventually it'll catch up to them. The worst part of it is that it drives everyone here who tries to make something decent out of business. What I have come to realize is that if it weren't for China, we'd all have to walk around naked, but we wouldn't need pockets anyhow, anything we'd put in them would be made there too. [/QUOTE]
