I’m sick of having my pants rip and tear from light daily use.
Preferrably available in Europe.
I really love Duluth Trading Company pants, especially the ones with their flex firehose material. I wear them almost every day and think they are great.
I haven’t tried their pants, but I’ve been impressed with their jackets, coats, and shirts.
Carhartt
Unfortunately these are trendy in certain circles now, so the prices are rising. Good pants though.
Easy answer OP: none.
Don’t wear pants, let your legs breathe freely.
You can’t be out here with your meat flappin’ in the wind!
Let your ass breathe
Docker’s, Carhartt and Dickies pants (not jeans) have all held up to my factory job.
Dickies really are underrated. I’ve worn them for years doing landscaping full time in the Midwest. I think I had a pair that lasted six years.
Are Levi’s available in Europe? Honestly the best jeans I’ve ever had… I cycle with them almost daily and they’re still going strong.
I am confused. I thought the OP was asking about pants, as in underpants and people are suggesting jeans. Is this just a misunderstanding or are there actually jeans underpants ?
Dialect difference. Brit pants = US underwear. US pants = Brit trousers.
I am aware of the dialect difference… was just wondering if there really is such a thing as underpants made of jeans material … that sounds comfy to wear at home.
Babe, have you seen my junderwear I can’t find it anywhere
Made me spew tea out of my nose, bravo!
Ah, sorry. I jumped to the wrong understanding of your question.
Now you mention it, that does sound kind of comfy, similar to soft flannel.
Yes. But I did happen to stumble across its Denizen line about a year ago when I was in the US and in a Target. I really liked them, so upon another visit this summer I bought three additional (identical) ones, as I’ve not seen them here in europe.
I am the least fashionable person in existence, and I 100% prefer function over form. And the Denizen is by far the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever owned.
Definitely a fan of Levi’s, especially the high-waisted models. I intensely dislike the feeling of my pants being about to fall off, so low-waisted is out. The 516 is my favourite, although I also have 541s, 501s, 505s, and 550s.
From my experience, Levi’s are some of the worst jeans I’ve ever had. They all wear out in 2 years time for me. I tend to get a tear in the crotch area and in the knees. Wrangler jeans seem to do better.
Here’s a jean testing video that tests 12 jeans in Breathability, Rear Pocket Failure, Hammer Loop Failure, Crotch Tear, Puncture Resistance, Abrasion Resistance, and Pocket Puncture Resistance.
The ones I have are 531’s. I wish I could afford another pair rn, oh well.

Look for raw denim! The real stuff- it’ll feel thicker at first and will take breaking in. You’ll be paying 100+ most likely, but they’ll last you a lifetime. Brands are really dependent on the style/cut of jeans you’re looking for. Not up to date on brands anymore since I haven’t had to buy a new pair in over ten years. My favorite brand was/is Rogue Territory, but I’m not sure if they are available in the EU.
Man I don’t know if it’s just me, I’ve owned 3 pairs of raw denim jeans and I blew out all 3 within a year.
It kind of comes down to the overall craftsmanship of the jeans. I started paying more attention to the seams, stitching, and where things lined up on my body. I had good luck purchasing from smaller brands which appeared to value the ‘legacy’ of denim- not something I really think about, but I was happy they did.
For pure longevity I’d recommend Iron Hearts. I’ve had the same pair of 634S for about two years, worn 2-4x per week in construction
I can’t give you European recommendations, but as someone who has had pant challenges, I can make those. Consider evaluating why they are failing. Are the rips and tears in the fabric panels? You may be able to find pants that are reinforced in those areas or are of a more durable fabric. You could also consider repair. If the rips and tears are at seams, maybe you need extra stitching. This can also be repaired but isn’t always cost effective. Also consider fit - if they don’t for appropriately, this also can lead to increased wear.
Good luck! Sorry if I come off as a lecture and you know all these things.
My husband has been slowly replacing stuff with Myles Apparel. He’s a weightlifter, so finding clothes that fit his quads (and allows him to still, you know, move) is a tall order. No ripping, tearing, funky workout stink, or any other issues so far! Also looks like they can ship internationally.
Is 5.11 available in Europe? It’s practically all I wear now. I’ve only had one pair go bad in 7 years.
I’ve had pretty good luck with fjallraven. They mostly make trekking/hiking apparel, but they do have some styles that make for good casualwear.
I really like Volcom shorts and pants. They tend to fit me a lot better (and with much greater consistency) than any other brand, even expensive ones. They’re pretty durable too. Nice that they’re not crazy expensive, but I also buy them from discount stores in the US for great prices. I never buy clothes at full price.
You could probably find Volcom clothes at skate shops in Europe. I have seen them on European online skateshops and stuff, if I’m remembering correctly.
JNCO jeans never let me down.
if youre looking for quick-dry pants, try Truewerk
IDK if these are available directly there but they do ship.
If you’re looking for some fair trade and organic stuff: I’m wearing torland for a few years now. I used to buy new jeans every year because they didn’t last so long (even branded ones). But the ones from torland didn’t disappoint me yet. Still got my first pair from 3-4 years
