I got tired of buying Charhartts and Diamond jeans at 2-3 times the cost of these. These are 14 oz the others are 15 oz and most cheaper jeans are 12oz. So for a decrease of an one oz I saved 10's of dollars. Also, the vendor did not have my size and called me; what a breath of fresh air, real customer service. I will buy these again and I will use elite hero again. I am pretty brand loyal and very company loyal. This company is worthy of my loyalty.
