Checked out TSC & Menards online, & both have storefronts in the nearest larger town. Not surprisingly, all brands of jeans are imported, and even Carhartt got the same negative reviews as others about quality seriously sliding downhill in the durability dept.
Got my Texas Jeans today, and fit and finish are impressive except for a short section of seam between zipper and crotch cross which isn't neatly serged with the normally tucked under fabric end stitched over exposed and frayed on both pair. Same with the key-coin pocket. Fit is traditional above the waist, comfortable and feels like pants could stay hitched up without a belt.
Can't test the durability right away, I'll be modeling Faded Glory blues next brush whacking till they wear out like my current vintage Levis which will be put to rest shortly.
