2 pair for $54 including shipping. Not only made in the USA but they cost less than those foreign made Levis.

Cool deal.And $100 cheaper than my "7 for all mankind" jeans from San Fran. Back in the day,here in the northeast we had BIG time clothing industries.My Dad drove 18 wheels for a company out of NY called "Merit dress delivery".Once the textile industry crashed,so did his gig.I recently found one of their trucks "in the weeds",too bad we fail.Even my Mom was a seamstress for decades.I remember visiting often,the dress shop to get lunch with Mom. Sewing machines aisles long. Too bad it is all gone(mostly).thanks for the link to American labor |

These were like 501 Levis. I used the same size that I used in choosing Levis and just went for it. Obviously if you guess wrong and wash them, you can't exchange them but they DO fit using my Levi sizing that I've used the past decade. (Thanks James for posting the link. I should have done that. It's usually my FIRST question when somebody posts something worthwhile) |

NOICE! Sent the link to my motorcycle club. I'm sure they'll be interested as well. Thanks for the "Head's up!" Think I'll share on Facebook too... |

I've become a "domestically conscious" buyer the past decade. I have to compromise when buying computers and electronics. Bought my last ever pair of Levis more than a couple years ago. Wear Chippewa boots daily. Clothing IS tough to get domestically-sourced material AND domestic production. Even my ale is domestic - except the occasional Guinness when I want something light. (oops... nearly swerved into my "lite" beer rant) |

Alright, y'all know I'm a hillbilly, so once Ann found Roundhouse, she bought me some overalls. Really nice fit, and they've been put through the test of farming/homesteading/guinea wrangling/chicken chasing, and they've held up really well. Stitching is hardcore, and reenforced where needed. I'm very happy with them. I was worried about size since I'm long and skinny, and have a hard time finding the right length without being too big around. (for some reason if you have a 34 inseam, manufacturers take it for granted you're 40 around the middle) anyway, I got them and they were to small around, had absolutely no problem returning them. You must have all tags still attached and sent back in the original package, so be warned. I got the right size in next to no time and am really happy with their customer service. No shrinkage issues either. We're like Slaughter, if we can find what we're looking for made in the USA, we don't mind paying a little extra, but these were a bargain on top of that. |

Thanks for the link, and eval. I was just getting ready to buy a couple of pairs of 505's. I will try these instead. |

OK - I wear boots daily. I'd have to say the inseam is a wee touch longer but wearing boots, I don't really notice. If you can't tolerate being grade-school teased about new jeans, these aren't for you; you need "stone washed" jeans so you'll get half the service life. The Round House are SOLID. My shelves are filling with Prison Blues and Round House. Levis are wearing out and getting tossed. |

I don't tease people but you can tell who bought the wear marks on their jeans. because nothing lines up correctly with their body. Example the knee marks are up on their thigh or down at their shins. I have a new pair of 501 srink to fits at home that I can't wait for summer to break in. |

I'm going to pull the trigger on a pair. I wear between 32-34 on both the waist and inseam. I've never wanted to buy jeans online since I'm a weird size; 33/33 is typically just right, but hard to find. Slaughter, you said the inseam was a little long so a 32 will probably be best for me. How's the waist size? Is your 32 a true 32? Thanks again for the link. I tried to find US made jeans several months back and couldn't find any. I settled for foreign made with US products. |

I wear 32/34 Levi 501s. The Roundhouse fit the same but if you wear tennis shoes and not boots, I'd think 33 inseam might be better. For my own taste, the slightly longer leg isn't an issue. |

Awesome. Thank you for posting, added to favs. But they need a heavyweight jean for fatties like me. Their "all purpose" would fit better but not heavyweight. |

I am in South Africa and all we get here is Chinese S@#t. I am a bit on the short side like about 5.6" and i find that the only jeans that really fit comfortably are low cut in the waist and fit my hips properly, currently can only find one "rice" brand that fits just so. So guess my question is are these available in a low cut waist in a 32 with short inseam? We get Levi's here but at 2 to 3 X the price of these. And i suspect they are "rice" knockoffs!! |

They arrived today. Put them through the wash and dryer and I'm wearing one of them right now. The waist fits exactly like my old Chinese Levis or my Mexican Wranglers. The legs have a more "relaxed" fit and I actually like it better. Already tossed two of my black Chinese Levis in the "Goodwill" bin. I'll hold on to the Mexican Wranglers for awhile. They're made with US materials and are actually holding up better than the Levis anyway. But I think from now on, all of my new jeans purchases will be from these guys. Thanks for bringing them to my attention! |

They need to make jeans without the safety hazards - er, I mean hammer loops. Can't stand hammer loops on a pair of pants; they just catch on things. |
