Origin USA Delta 68 Jeans
A made in the USA with USA materials jean that takes up the long lost mantel of great American Denim
Jeans are a staple of most American wardrobes, and while we used to have great iconic American jeans brands, they have become cheap imitations of what made the brand great. There are not many jeans made in the USA, let alone made with denim made from USA Cotton. I present Origin USA Delta 68 jeans made in the USA with USA denim; this is from a brand that started making BJJ Gis and has moved to other products trying to bring back manufacturing to the United States. The public face of the company is Jocko, an ex-naval seal officer with several successful businesses, including consulting, podcast, nutrition, and his good soft company. There was a fascinating podcast with Jocko and his co-owner Pete Roberts where they talk about their journey on making products in the USA and the ups and downs, as well as Pete's personal history and where he gets his drive to make products in the USA.
Jeans are one of their newer offerings, and being that I'm always looking for more products made in the USA from USA materials when they had a buy two for $199.00 special, I decided to give them a try. I chose the Delta 681, but they also offer their Factory Worker jeans2. They were true to fit as suggested on the website and had the appropriate stretch to move in them; I also found them very comfortable and work well with wearing boots. Here is a photo that helps illustrate the different cuts of the pockets on the Delta 68 vs. a pair of Luckys; if you look closer, you can also see the Delta 68 uses heavier thread and bracing.
I'm confident that the jeans should wear well, but I won't know for sure until I test them, so I'll be giving a six-month update. If you are looking for jeans, I highly recommend giving the Origin USA ones a look.

They look like a great option, but I just wish they would've added one or maybe two (each side) a subtle pocket (not cargo-like) for carrying an extra mag, light, or whatever. I don't want cargo jeans but I need more pockets!
