I decided to purchase the Carhartt brand jeans based on my previous experience with other Carhartt products.  I was not disappointed!  I wear jeans almost everyday and am well aware of the overall quality differnce between brands.  I was initially going to buy some more Levi brand jeans (which I like very much), but found the Carhartt brand on Amazon and decided to check them out.  Great fit, great quality, great price!
