Durable Work Jeans

These jeans are the heaviest and the most durrable jeans i have ever owned. Other jeans i have worn were so light that they tare or ware out in no time. My work clothes get washed at least once or twice a week and put through a hard and heavy work load. Made in the USA is very important to me. So thank for great work jeans.

Not worth the price

Mike M

I bought a pair of the carpenter jeans 2 years ago. They came highly recommend by a co-worker so I figured I'd give them a try. The jeans now have quarter sizes holes/rips at the top corners on the back pockets. The lower pocket on the right leg has also started to rip off. I have owned jeans from other companies twice as long as I've had these and they are still in great shape. I'm not happy that these jeans cost twice and much and lasted half as long as other brands. I will not be buying jeans from here again.

I 1st ordered this style over 5 years ago. I lost some weight is the only reason I had to reorder! Great construction / quality. They fit true to size, relaxed fit is great to work in and extra pockets come in handy sometimes. I love these jeans and All American Clothing!

Stay away from these jeans

Joe Costanzo

12/01/2017

I have to agree with other reviews. The lower corners of the pockets have quickly(after only a couple washings) worn thru the denim in the pant legs. I would stay away from these for that reason. Haven't had any problem with the carpenter shorts or the standard jeans. All other products from this site have been excellent so far.

Sorry to hear that Joe, Since your last purchase of this style (2016) we have changed to a heavier, more durable denim and added reinforcement to key stress points. Hope you'll give them a try again, thanks!

Old ones were great, new ones not so much

Robbie

11/27/2017

I by these and other made in USA jeans because of the quality. I have some old ones of these that lasted a very long time, ut the last pair I ordered got holes in the pocket corner in less than 10 wearings. After about 5 more wearings, the hole is too big to wear in public. Disappointed. Will stick to diamond gusset and pointer brand.

Sorry to hear that Robbie, it looks like the last jeans you purchased were back in 2015. Since your last purchase we have changed to a heavier, more durable denim and added reinforcement to key stress points. Hope you'll give us a try again but either way we appreciate you supporting other American companies as well! Thanks!

I ordered 3 pair of these pants. I was so pleased with the fit I ordered 5 more pair! The gusset is what sells me! They have a great fit and are very durable. I could not be happier, though I agree with some others that the pockets could be a little deeper, but not a deal breaker.

I bought two pair of these jeans approximately three years ago and just now needed to order new ones. I wear them daily in my work as a glazier and then at home working around the yard. Sizing and fit were spot on and I have not noticed any major shrinkage over the years. The side pocket is perfect for your phone or a note pad. They are by far the most comfortable and durable jeans I have ever owned. An of course I am a HUGE fan of USA made!

From a few years ago to today, it appears they changed material. It is wearing holes out in unusual places such as upper pocket corners and above the rear pocket line and holes wearing a half inch from the belt loop (this is Not a stress point). Email me for pictures . [email protected]

I was looking for a looser fitting jean. I ordered a 35x32. This jean did not fit well at all in the butt as it was way too tight. Plus the waist was too low. Not what I would expect on a carpenter jean, not at all comfortable.

This is now the only kind of jeans I wear to work in construction. I've been wearing AAC jeans for about 4 years now and I had my very first blowout today. The only problem I have is that as my waist keeps growing, the jeans eventually stop stretching

Was so excited to see these were available and
got a couple of pairs. Just before I purchased these I had purchased a couple of pairs of Dickie's carpenter jeans (made in Mexico) for signficantly less cost and double kneed. Both
my pairs of AAC jeans have holes in the knees now and the Dickies are still going strong. Want to buy American so wrote the company a separate e-mail suggesting a change in this jean's design.

I have a number of pairs of the AA regular and bootcut jeans which I love and I thought the extra pockets would be great so I bought a pair. First thing I noticed is that they're baggy and really loose but the thing I hate about these is that the zipper is so short, it makes it hard to go to the bathroom. I'm not sure if it's this pair or if they're all like this. It's nothing like the others I have so for that reason I won't be buying any more of these.

Poor dimensions for a small guy

Charles

06/04/2016

Verified Buyer

It seems to me that these jeans were designed around taller and larger men. I'm 5'5 and about 155 pounds, the side cell phone pockets sit around my knee where they should be more along my thigh. My phone or any tools I put in those pockets bang against my knees as I walk. The back pockets also seem very low, with the top of the pocket at the middle of my butt and the bottom of the pocket extending to my upper thigh. Even though I ordered 32x30, it seems like the fit is still tailored to a taller person and just cut off to length, they are extremely baggy everywhere. If you look at their example pictures, just imagine all the pockets sitting about an 2 inches lower on the models.

I have several pairs of Dickies carpenter jeans and they fit great, pockets are all in the right places and they don't look sloppy and cost half as much. As a union member I want to support US businesses but I can't throw my money away for the sake of patriotism. For shorter inseams they should actually measure shorter people because the proportions of this jean are all wrong. I look sloppy wearing these and they're almost like pajama pants in how baggy they are. I'm going to keep washing them and hope they shrink a little more but I'm not impressed with the fit considering how much they cost. I could've had 4 pairs of new Dickies that fit awesome for the cost of these 2. Now that I've washed them I'm basically SOL as far as returns are concerned.

Nice pants, pockets too shallow

John Nelson

11/20/2014

I love the pants, but the front pockets are just too shallow. Compared to the AA101 jeans, they seem to be only half as deep. I was hoping to use these as a pair of pants that I could carry my CCW piece in a pocket holster, but it is not deep enough even for a small snub nose .38.

I've worn Carhartt logger jeans for at least the last 15 years. The last couple times I bought them, I noticed inconsistent sizing. Some fit really well, others not so much. Tried the AA Carpenter jeans to see if they were any better. They are definitely comfortable and seem to be well made. I've only had them for a month, so we'll see how they hold up. There are only a couple minor things I'd like to change about them. First, the back pockets are bigger than I would like. My wallet ends up down around my upper thigh. Second, the legs are a little bit wider than the Carhartt loggers. Not much, but just enough for me to notice. I think they've shrunk a little over a couple washes, so this seems to be better now. Overall, I'm happy with these jeans and will buy more as my Carhartts wear out. I'd really like to see All American make their own logger jeans. I'd definitely buy those.

Not relaxed

Jonathan Viner

09/05/2014

After having owned a few pairs of the regular jeans(A101?) from here, I decided to get the carpenter jeans for a more relaxed fit...and I'm disappointed. They fit exactly the same as the regular style. I even ordered my waist size 1" higher than what I'd need to ensure that I'd have a relaxed fit and they're still tight. One of the jeans I ordered previously didn't fit great either but I lived with it and figured it was a rare occurance. Now I'm starting to question the consistency of the product here...

I ordered these jeans after looking high and low for a store that sold American made jeans. To my surprise, I discovered that no such store exists anymore. Thankfully, I found this site. I love these jeans. The placement and number of pockets, placement of the belt loops, the quality of the denim and the fit. Perfect! I will be purchasing more products. Thank you All American Clothing Co.!

Some of Them are Very Good

Adam Torgerson

06/16/2014

I have ordered 4 pair of these jeans, all the same size. Two of the pairs fit me very well and have held up well to the abuse I subject them to as a Carpenter. They are probably the best work jeans I have ever worn. The other two pair never really fit very well. One pair seems to be 34x38 instead of 38x34. The crotch hangs much lower than the pairs I have ordered since and the length is way too long. I questioned AA Clothing about a possible mixup with the size, but I never heard back from them Unfortunately I put a 5 inch rip in the leg first time I wore them. The other pair tore right along the zipper opening and are unrepairable. I will probably still buy more of these jeans as they seem to be the only decent work jeans that are made in the U.S., I just wish they were more consistent in their sizing and quality. Jeans this expensive should have a success rate higher than 50%.

Great carpenter jeans

Jason Reynolds

03/14/2014

These are great, but I've grown to prefer the regular jeans (AA 101). The carpenters are a little to baggy for me, but I'm sure the fit would be perfect if actually used for carpentry work. In my experience these run a little large in the waist just like the regular jean. YMMV.

I have wore carhartt for years and I am fed up with jeans made in other countries. Thank God I found these jeans. The quality of these jeans are unmatched, heavy, durable, and triple stitched seems really provide comfort and long lasting quality. Love these jeans far more than the competition. Carhartt can't hold a candle to these made in USA jeans!

AA Carpenter Jeans

Nick Wapniarski

08/21/2013

I originally ordered 2 different styles, the AA Carpenter and the Boot Cut Jean. I ordered the same size for each one. The Boot Cut Jean was too large in the waist and the AA Capenters were too small in the waist. So I asked to exchange both pairs for two of the AA Carpenters 1" larger and the exchange process was UNBELIEVABLY EASY. I received the larger AA Carpenters and they fit just right. The quality is far better than any of the jeans I have purchased in the past 10 or more years that were made in ANY other country of the world. I am an American Worker (you probably are also :-)) and I appreciate being able to support other American Workers as well. If you order the AA Carpenters you might want to order an inch larger and the Boot Cut Jean you may want to try an inch or two smaller. Very Happy Customer

I am, or have been, a Levi's original 501 guy. My wife convinced me to try this jean, and as much as I hate to admit it, she is right again. The material is the same weight as Levi so it should last as long. I like the roomier fit as I am up and down quite a bit in my job. And I have even found a use for all those pockets I made fun of. All this and made in America? You can't go wrong.

These jeans were my first real foray into buying American-made clothing. They've quickly become my favorite jeans. My wife has commented several times how much she likes them on me, I can't remember the last time that happened. I've only had them 2 months, so I can't comment on their durability yet. However, so far they feel like they'll last. When they finally do wear out it will probably because I wear them all the time!

Nice and roomy (33 x 32), especially in the thigh area. I had a local seamstress sew on a button with loop for the outside right pocket on the leg.

I am a lady in the trades, but I am required to wear 100% cotton so the ladies jeans with their lycra blend are not an option. Plus I use the carpenter pockets quite a bit. I have been buying these jeans for a couple years now and they are by far my favorite work jeans. I have owned several sizes and the "old" pairs that are too big for me now are still in great shape and will be given a second life with someone else.

These jeans are quite comfortable. They have a gusset which makes them 'roomy' when squatting down and/or working. They look great, the material is heavy duty, and the fit and build is good as well. I will be a customer for as long as you guys keep up the good work. I am a union worker and telling all my coworkers about your products. It is really good seeing American made clothing these days.

I have several pairs of these jeans they are great. Very comfortable, i love the gusset, it is so much better than other jeans. If you have never tried it i suggest getting a pair. The only complaint i have is the pockets. The front pocket is sewed to the leg seam. Which is nice when you are standing the pocket doesnt move a lot. But its bad when you sit down or lay down in them. Since the pocket is sewn that way and they arent real deep, things tend to fall out of the front pockets. So please make the pockets deeper, or the bottom half of the pocket dont sew it to the pant leg so it moves a little bit when you sit down. i still plan on buying more pairs of jeans. They are worth it

My jeans have a rough life and typically wear out quickly. Not these bad boys! They hold up way better than the Carhartt jeans that I paid more for. The AA carpenters have to be the most comfortable jeans that I have ever worn as well. They almost feel broken in after the first wear. I am sold on the gusset too. What a great idea! These jeans have lived up to my expectations and I am proud to wear an American product.
