I just bought two pair of Rustler brand jeans at WalMart on a 
friend's recommendation. They are of heavier material than Levi's, 
almost too heavy. Friend has his wife wash his several times before 
first wearing them. They appear to be very strongly made. Delighted 
they don't have those stupid rivets on pocket corners. Friend says 
they outlast everything else. They cost just under ten dollars.
