This jeans are fantastic workwear.  Very thick denim, very comfortable, good fit.  They also have more belt loops than some of the casual wear jeans these days.  The quality is fantastic- made in Mexico of US denim and cordura fabric.  Most casual jeans these days cost more and give you a lot less.  However, the faux leather patch on the right pocket is more for style than function, since it makes the pocket too thick to easily clip on a tape measure.  The hammer loop is also rather silly; its more likely to get caught on something than be helpful.  Regardless, I always come back to these pants after wearing down an old pair.
