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’ve worn boot cut and cowboy cut jeans for years. I’ve always had to buy them slightly large. Specifically an extra inch at the waist and two inches at the inseam. This is for wash shrinkage and for a good fit around taller boots. NOT THE CASE with Origin. They are true to size, and fit EXACTLY the way I like my jeans. The denim thickness is great, and the flex material makes them super comfortable. These jeans are slightly heavier than the Delta Flex jeans, which I also own and love. I like the dark rinse, rivets, and stitching. Most of all, I’m proud to wear jeans produced by North Carolina’s skilled textile workers.

These are what I was looking for in a pair of jeans. Call them work jeans but these are a traditional pair of denim jeans. The fit was perfect, with a little wear in period.

I expect that the coloring and quality will be up to expectations and surpass the delta flex that I have been wearing since the material seems more durable. These denim pockets are a great addition as I typically wear throught pockets of other jeans first. Based on what I have seen so far these will be well worth the price as they will far outlast the jeans I have been wearing..
