You just have to love the washing instructions for Hebtroco jeans...

In passing they are absolutely superb jeans
I've had some great gear from Oxfam but I still aspire to expensive apparel.I aspire to expensive jeans - mine come from Oxfam. Universal Credit. - I.
Jeans by definition were working clothes. Although a pair that fits well which the pockets don't drop out of after a few months is a nice thing to have. I do have a pair of Levis and Wranglers I rather like. Haven't got any real good ones like Chris though. I like the idea of made in England and sustainable. I reckon they'd last me decades.
Ironically I used to go through jeans in no time when I worked in a car battery workshop, used to get splashed with sulphuric every day and be more holey than righteous after a few weeks. Then I discovered that a cheap pair of synthetic office boy trousers were acid resistant. Ha!
Well I haven't had my Levi's long enough to find out. Got them recently in Costco for £40 where they're supposed to be £100 RRP. You may be right, they look great and feel nice and comfy but not 'solid' so maybe they won't last. The thing is, until you try a pair on to never know if they'll fit well, so if I were going to get some of these uk made ones, do you have to go to the factory or is it mail order only, or are there resellers?
