Would probably be helpful to know what brands of jeans you’ve been using and what ways they’ve failed you.

Personally, I don’t have a physical labor job, but I am a pretty dedicated DIY/homeowner type, so I’m not exactly a stranger to doing hard work either, and I usually get a few years out of my jeans, just buying whatever they have at target or Walmart or whatever, and they sort of go through a pipeline - I start off with decent-looking jeans, after usually a couple years of casual wear they get downgraded to work jeans after they start showing wear in the usual places, and after they start getting really ripped and beaten up they get further downgraded to dirty work jeans for things like painting where there’s a really good chance they’re going to get stuff spilled on them, heavily stained, and I may not even want to try washing them when I’m done.

As far as more dedicated work jeans, I have a pair of Carhartt jeans I break out when I’m doing really heavy duty stuff, which isn’t all that often, but they are obviously heavier duty and cut more for you to be able to move around freely in them.

I’m sure Dickies probably has something pretty comparable to those Carhartts as well.

I haven’t tried out their jeans specifically, but I have a few things from Duluth Trading Co that I’ve been very happy with and for what they are I think they’re pretty affordably priced.

Not jeans exactly, and no first-hand experience with them, but I’ve heard from a few people whose opinions I usually trust on these sorts of matters that Filson Double Tin Cloth pants are probably one of the most durable, hard-wearing pairs of pants you can buy. If you’re working in hot weather and don’t expect to get wet, they’re probably not exactly the ideal, but I’ve generally heard good things about first products overall and I think they make some other pants that are more akin to a regular pair of jeans.
