I am suffering an identical problem: years ago, Walmart bought the Wrangler brand, at least the part of it that produced my everyday trousers I had been buying for years. Walmart then RADICALLY altered the design, construction, and eviscerated the quality of the materials used to make them — they no longer had strength, durability or the full measure of utility they once had. Walmart clearly approached these changes with NO CLUE why the garment existed in the first place! What they produce and offer for that garment, today, is only marginally better than, what was once, the ubiquitous, black, ‘Mao,’ pyjamas of mainland China.

In desperation, today, the best I’ve been able to find to, fill the role, is Carhartt brand, “Men’s Cargo Work Pants - Relaxed Fit - Rugged Flex(R) Canvas,” (Style #103574) and similar Carhartt styles.

Carhartt actually proves to be MORE durable than what Wrangler used to offer before the Walmart debacle! Carhartt’s weakness is that, contrary to the ethos they want to portray, they seem to have NO IDEA how, ‘real working men,’ are shaped and move, such that, their, “Relaxed Fit,” wears almost as snug as, “skinny jeans!” (I have a reasonable BMI of 22.3, so it’s Carhartt that’s cut too snug, not me being too filled out.) An additional challenge, with Carhartt, is that they are more than twice the price of what Wrangler used to offer, but that’s, at least, understandable as Carhartt quality and durability is SO much better.

1) And they LOVE whole, unshelled peanuts! 2) They love whole, unshelled peanuts SO much, I’ve seen a Blue Jay perch in a nearby, tall tree, then make sounds (calls) that make a convincing imitation of the, “keer,” of a Red Tailed Hawk! That scares other birds off and the Blue Jay swoops in to snatch an easy peanut snack!
