I bought these carpenter jeans after Tractor Supply quit making its version of women's carpenter jeans. When I first took them out of the package, I noticed that the zipper seemed very short. I then realized that these were "mid-rise" jeans. My rise measurement is quite deep. Fortunately, the jeans fit well.

The denim is not as heavy as many work jeans, but this may be an advantage in the Texas summers, haha. But, it does provide less protection from thorns and horns. The front pockets are quite deep which is good for keeping items in the pockets. On the back sides of the lower hem, extra fabric provides a layer to prevent heel rub-through from destroying the jeans early.

I wear these jeans to my ranch where I work livestock, so they get dirty. The loops and extra pockets come in handy for carrying ropes, tools, etc. After washing, they did not shrink too much and quickly stretched back to original size when worn.  I will likely buy these jeans again.
PROS-- dark blue, deep pockets, come in my size (20), long enough for a tall person, extra fabric in heel area
CONS- denim could be heavier, low rise fit, cost
