I've been rockin the Costco Kirkland Jeans lately. They seem to be cut with a little more "junk room" that makes them better for moving, squating, bending and such. It also stops that rear pocket corner tear out. They make the watch pocket too small for my derringer but hey Wrangler does not even put a watch pocket in anymore.

American Jean Company. americanclothing.com
I like them because they are American made and the company is 2A friendly enough to design their change/watch pockets to hold a subcompact pistol.
Very comfortable and well made jeans.
I also have several pairs of Duluth jeans with cargo pockets. Lots of pockets, hidden compartments some good for guns, very durable, very comfortable and very well made but a bit hot for summer in the south.

The absolute best pair of jeans I had were Prison Blues...custom made by prisoners. Look 'em up on the Internet. Mostly nowadays, I wear either Rustlers, (Wrangler budget brand) or I go to my local Tractor Supply Company and buy their house brand. (Blue Mountain) They are a medium weight denim and are sufficient for my need. www.allamericanstore.us/jeans/(Link for the Prison Blues)

I bought several pairs of carpenter style jeans that would easily hold my 380 Bodyguard or a Ruger 380. Never tried my Kahr CW9 but I'm sure it would hold a CM9. I was thinking that all their jeans would do the same but I'm not certain.

One interesting note about the Duluth jeans. Their main regular pockets are deep and the right side pocket has a smaller pocket in the bottom that must be made for change. I've found it is perfect to stuff the muzzle of my Bodyguard 380 or my Kahr CW9 in to keep it lined up in place for an easy draw. It works quite well.

I've been wearing Wrangler Pro-Rodeo's since high school, nearly 40 years. Never warmed to the Levi 501's that were so popular at the time. The Wranglers place the back pockets higher on your body so you are not sitting directly on your wallet all of the time which is a big plus for me. It has always taken a long time to wear-out the denim fabric when I was farming full-time, a pair lasted for a few years of daily wear and abuse around equipment and cattle.
I wore Carhart double-front jeans for really rough service work out in the woods are something similar. That double front of the jeans was just too stiff for me to wear everyday.
I do wear the Prison Blues hickory shirts quite regularly as they fit me well and prefer them to the Key brand that are more like a tent. They are made by the guests of the Oregon State prisons here in my home state.

Always preferred the Dickies straight leg carpenter jeans, more movement available. But have been in Roundhouse overalls for the last ten years.
My opinion for longer lasting jeans has been to stay away from liquid fabric softener. Hang them to dry for at least three to four washes before using a dryer, longer if possible to prevent the legs from twisting.

Ariat jeans for me. They offer the best fit and rugged durability. Even a knife pocket on their work styles. Takes awhile to wear a pair out, all other jeans feel thin to me.

Years ago was fussing about keys wearing holes in back pocket of jeans. Guy show me a small unfinished leather pouch that keys fit perfect. Would flatten some in hip pocket or could use in front pocket. That was decades ago. Replaced not long ago with thumb cut out of old leather work glove. Maker of original passed years ago. Favorite work jeans Carhartt, especially when welding and doing rough work. Wranglers or cargo pants just knocking around. Overalls working at home

There's another brand besides Wrangler? That's all I've worn for decades now. Levi's is a San Francisco based far left, rabidly anti gun company...So why give them one thin dime to begin with?

Hi... Been wearing Wranglers for decades. Seem to last and wear well...I like the fit and the cost is reasonable. I didn't wear jeans to work for about the last twenty years because my employer provided uniforms. Now that I am retired I exclusively wear blue jeans year round.
Have no use for Levi's or Lee jeans. I examined the blue jeans at Sam's Club and they seem to be made of thin lightweight material that would not wear well.
