I second the Duluth jeans. They are usually on sale for 55-65 bucks, have a gusseted crotch, and much better quality.

Wore Duluth for years and all of them blow out at the crotch. Recently switched to vertx and so far so good.

Nudie Jeans Co

Fashionable jeans with a focus on sustainability and lifetime repairs, although opinions on durability vary.

Sustainable
Fashionable

Nudie jeans stretch out and get so thin they’re literally see through and falling off of you after only a year of wear.

Yes they offer lifetime repairs and all that, but the jeans stretch out and get so thin.
– Avery_Thorn

My nudie jeans lasted about two years before the crotch was too ripped to repair.

Usa-sourced materials
Good quality
Well-fitting

I've got a pair of the cotton denim ones... they're not soft like the modern stretchier versions, they remind me of jeans from the 1980s.
