Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Going to order some pants for Sass'n and I can't make up me mind! I used to have Wahmaker canvas pants back in the late 90's, but they seemed a little tight (they are real tight now as I am a 35" waist...and they are 29" LOL!!) So - what are thoughts about the latest Wanamaker, Sculley, Frontier Pants, and any other brand that comes up. Thanks for your opinions GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Frontier Classics are OK and are a lot cheaper than Wah Maker. Wah Maker is a division of Scully. I've found some very good deals on Ebay on new and used cowboy clothes. If you need something right away, Wrangler makes khaki colored and black jeans. Stockdales and other stores by us carry the different colored Wranglers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I recently ordered and recieved from "River Junction" . . . their "Gold Rush Jeans" . . . serviceable. . . but . . I wear 36 in waist in standard blue jeans and had to send them back and get 42 in for a reasonable fit. Liked 'em and ordered onother pair.

Three Foot Johnson Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'm tryin' to find some RED pants to make up another B Western outfit. Dickies 874's are the only red pants I've found so far that will fit my "rather large" 5'16" frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. George Baylor SASS#24287L Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Wahmaker are made in the USA. Frontier Classics are made in the Philippines. Hence they sell for less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I got a couple pair of Frontier Classics a few years ago. It didn't take long for the buttons to come off. I had to use a piece of leather backing when I replaced them. Lots of loose threads, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear what ya wish, I'm forever in blue jeans..Levi and Wrangler Well...Good for you...I wear Wranglers all the time (Levi corp is anti-gun so they don't get my business), but want to move forward with the costume side of things.

The modern jeans fit better, are way more comfortable and I can go tinkle alot easier with the zipper. I think I'll be buying some new jeans and wearing them more and more. As you get older comfort is reeeaally important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Ray Hality, SASS# 37355 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I have a pair of Brassada trousers that I have worn like once a month since 2001. They finally started to fall apart at the seems. So, I bought a pair of Frontier trousers and Heirloom torusers from River Junction. I am very please with my purchase. I would have purchased Brassada again but could not find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
