I purchased 5 pairs of the light colored jeans and started wearing 2 pairs of them. I only wore them for good and not work and within a couple of months the crotch ripped out in the wash. The fabric seems to be running the wrong way and must make them weak. The other three pair I just started wearing one of them to see how long this pair lasts. I also still have two pairs with the tags still on them. More than likely I will have to contact customer support to return them also when they rip out!
Men's Ballroom Relaxed Fit Jeans
"I like the fact that you designed your jeans without the cheap hotel syndrome (no ballroom)," wrote John P. from Ohio. Good point, John - so now we call them Ballroom® Jeans. They're cut on the easy side, and built with the added comfort of our F.O.M.™ (Freedom Of Movement) Crouch Gusset, so they don't feel too tight when you bend, stoop or squat. The waistband, bottom leg openings and pockets are lined with Fire Hose® canvas - these babies are NOT going to fray, rip out or get holes in 'em from nails. Finally, side pockets are a full 12" deep so your stuff doesn't fall out. So go ahead: bend, crouch, climb, do the hokey pokey in comfort.
- Classic 5-pocket jeans styling

I have bought Duluth jeans for many years. However, the quality has declined and the jeans do not hold up like they used to. They once lasted years at a time. My last few pair lasted a couple weeks before ripping (along the zipper side seam). The fabric is much softer now and not as durable.
Nice loose fit, nice deep pockets, typical unfortunate Duluth Trading fly that doesn't go down far enough. One thing to note -- they're long. I really need a 34 1/2" or even a 35" inseam, and of course there is no such thing in jeans, so I always buy a 36 length. With these pants a 36 length leaves me with a great big cuff to keep from walking on the fabric when I'm not wearing shoes. I'll try a 34 next time.
OK, full disclosure: This pair of pants is the replacement for the previous pair. I would like to tell you that the previous pants were destroyed after some epic event that I'm forbidden to talk about but that's not the case. Simply put, the previous pair ripped at the crotch when I was kneeling down. Thankfully, it happened at home and I was able to change quickly. But the pants were beyond salvaging so I exchanged them. Right now, the replacement seems to be OK but I am keeping a wait and see attitude right now. The only reason the review isn't rated lower is because the exchange process went very smoothly.
These fit great and do not stretch much while wearing like other brands
