I buy these jeans for my husband for work he really likes the leather on the pocket for his flashlight and the leather on the back pockets to he is extremely hard on jeans but these seem to hold up the best they also patch fairly easily also I love the extra piece of fabric in the crotch because he was always ripping out the crotch and other jeans but these haven't ripped yet. Very good Buy and the jeans are priced the same in stores.
