I'm a tight-wad and won't pay for CarHarts. I like Wrangler for the money. There's a place in Bloomington where you can buy the 5-star plain pocket kind of Wranglers for 8-10 US dollars. The Cowboy Cut is a little more, but still very reasonable.

I often buy Faded Glory for work jeans. They are very cheap, usually can be bought at Wal-Mart for $10 and are made in the USA.
On the weekends its nothin' but Wranglers though...

Funny you mention work jeans... I'm at work, wearing jeans right now! 
We have a company function so HR said we could dress down today. They're Guess Premium Denim, purchased for about $12.50 at the Guess Outlet. (That's significantly less than they usually cost... I love shopping!) My favorite pair for working on my truck is a pair of Hydraulic jeans that came pre-messed-up. Cost me $8 at Marshall Fields (again, down significantly from what the original price was). So I don't have to worry about making them look any worse, and the denim is actually pretty nice. I think American Eagle makes pretty nice jeans as well, but they start at $20 or so and most are around $40. And they wear out too fast.

Not really jeans, but... I prefer to wear dickie's poly-blend pants and shirts to work. I am a self employed contractor, and the (glue, paint, spackle, stain, ect...) go flying I find that these pants come clean easiest. Plus, there is a flea market down the road that sells used uniforms really cheap. Plus I can change my name a lot. lets see... I'm bubba today, yesterday I was steve and friday I was Dave.

13 MWZ. 'nuff said. i'm skinny, they fit decent. i buy then at the local small feed store i used to work at. 19.95 plus tax. i know they can be found cheaper by a couple $$ somewhere else, but i wanna support some nice folks there. that and it gives me the chance to go in and BS with them for a while.
