Comparing DG with DJ
The Defender Jeans are a lighter fabric than Draggin Jeans. The Draggin Jeans are bulkier when folded up too. Both have a coin pocket in the left front pocket. The Draggin Jeans coin pocket is wider and deeper than the Defender Jeans. The Draggin Jeans only have 5 belt loops. 34x32. The Defender jeans have 7. 34x32
Draggin Jeans do wear out. I've two blue pairs. One has the right thigh area getting rather thin. Blue? They used to be! Now they look like well worn blue jeans: faded blue with lot's of white areas.
I started wearing my Diamond Gusset Black Defender Jeans this month. Heck a week ago. Have yet to wash them. One REALLY nice feature are the
velcro closures at the ankles. Nice touch when wanting to seal out the cold drafts. The metal hoop sewn above the right front pocket is unwanted. Nice touch if you want to attach tank scratchers to your jeans though. The right leg pocket is another sweet touch. Holds my cell phone perfectly. No lump in the front or back pockets. I carry the phone in my Jacket's left breast pocket. Yet when out of the jacket, that thigh pocket is the bees wax. The 'Diamond Gusset' fabric tag sewn under the 'cell phone' pocket stands out too much. Black jeans and a freaking gold tag?
The defender black jeans fit me betterer than the draggin jeans.
As of now, the defender jeans are my favorite pair. The black colour is nice and is dressy in a southern way. The price was right too.
