We bought one pair years ago and my husband felt so comfortable in these that we bought four more pair - two light and two dark. He's never bought four pair of jeans at the same time but we worry we won't be able to find them again when we need them.  They take a beating in the wash for years and hold together great.  They get more comfortable with washing and wearing.  No complaints...even after wearing them in the car for a 34 hour road trip.  We'd buy these again for sure.
