I work in the residential construction industry as a carpenter. I do everything from earth work, concrete, framing, to finish carpentry. For the past 20 years, I’ve worn Levi’s 505 and Wrangler Cowboy cut jeans for work. I was always on the fence to try jeans that cost $100 or more. After listening to an interview with Pete on a podcast and listening to his story about Origin, I finally pulled the trigger and bought 3 pairs of the boot cut work jeans. Because of the cost, i had these three pairs of jeans for a 5 days work week (instead of buying 5), worn multiple days without a wash. For context, when I wore Levi’s or Wranglers, I would get about 3 months before a huge hole developed in the knee, as I kneel a lot on the job sites. Also, Levi’s and Wranglers are about $60 a pair. I’ve attached a photo with a pair of Origin Boot Cut Work jeans I purchased October 2023 next to a pair of brand new Origin Boot Cut Work jeans I received April 2025 and I’ve been telling everyone about the quality. They lasted 1 year 6 months before the hole in the knee got pretty large, although not as large as the Levi’s or Wranglers would be at 3 months. The price tag seems steep but when you do the math compared to Levi’s or Wranglers it’s actually much more cost effective to buy the better quality jeans as they last so much longer and you can feel very proud that you are supporting a company that has put American manufacturing at the forefront. What Pete has done is remarkable and very…

I really wanted to like these jeans, but they’re just too tight through the seat and thighs. I like the material weight and slight stretch, but boot cut jeans should not fit like “skinny jeans”.

My first pair of origin jeans were delta flex (fighter fit) and they are awesome, ample room in the waist, seat and thighs - I wear them all the time.

So I ordered the same size waist and length for these boot cut jeans and they are so tight I will never be able to wear them. Can’t even get my hands in the pockets when wearing them - overall waste of $140.
