If you are working in them Levis 501 will out wear any of the others.
When
I
was feeding hay I would wear out 3 or 4 pair a year and nothing else
would
last a month.

I really hate them giving money to PETA but as long as they buy cotton
from
Plains Co Op I won't bite the hand that feeds me.

must admit I never bothered with either levis or wranglers, as I could
pick
up other jeans across here which wore better. Whether they don't import
proper working jeans into the UK from the US I wouldn't like to say

The 501 with copper rivets and shrink when you was them are the ones that
wear. They have buttons not a zipper. If it was for fashion they were 3/4
wore out when they were new.

501's fit me and I don't need to worry about getting ceratin equipment
caught in the zipper. God, it hurts just to think about it because you look
down see what you have done and know you now have to jerk the zipper back
down to free the poor soul.

I have found it a little more difficult to find the unwashed, unbleached
501's than in past years.
