I purchased these jeans for my new job at a local manufacturing plant. They are heavy duty, Just a word to the wise they do fit traditional style which is a bit low. They were a solid buy and have given me many months of service. (It's probably a good thing that i lost a bit of weight) they do feel a bit tight at first but when your used to them you really don't notice. Hopefully your not too upset about the made in mexico tag. I suppose it could be worse!!
