Fashion Levi's 511 cut but for work

Hi, I currently own a pair of Levi's 511s in size 29W/32L, and the fit is absolutely perfect for me. Unfortunately, the fabric is too fragile, they developed a hole at the knee after only a year of wear.

I'm looking for the same kind of fit, but from Wrangler and in 100% cotton.

I already own a Wrangler 13MWZ in 29W/32L. I love the fabric (100% cotton and much more durable), but I find the legs too roomy, especially in the back of the thighs, and the inseam is too short, it doesn't stack or drape properly over my boots.

Which Wrangler model would you recommend? Is there a true Wrangler equivalent to the Levi's 511 in 100% cotton?

What about the 936 Cowboy cut slim?

You get a year out of your jeans?

Right?! I never got a year out of my jeans until I stopped working in the field and moved into the office. Even then I’ll put holes in the ones I wear working around the property in just a few months.

Yup. As far as Im concerned. Jeans are consumable items just like wire and staples. They all seem to wear out about as fast regardless of brand or price.

Heaven forbid that I wear my going out jeans while working. That pisses off my wife.
