This was my first purchase of carhart jeans and I am impressed. The denim is much better tha Levis brand, it is more sturdy, like jeans use to be!! Not really to stiff, just thicker. The fit is not baggy, a little on the slim side but not tight, exactly what I was looking for. It seems so many of the other brands are being made cheaper and I don't see that with this purchase. I have only wore twice so I can't speak to durability, but judging from the craftsmanship and material I am betting these things hold up well. I was going to wait,a little before purchasing more but I may go ahead, i really like these. I am really picky when it comes to jeans so that says alot. the pockets are deep enough, you get 7 belt loops not 5 and they are comfortable!!  I am 5'8 and wiegh 170Lbs if you are wondering about my build. Try a pair and I think you will agree these are well made jeans
