Reply to Recommendations for casual jeans and pants by msaluta86
Could you buy the brands you’ve like in the past at goodwill? You can feel for thickness/ quality in person, and with the money you save on the jeans themselves you can pay for altering so they fit like a glove.

You could shop consignment and then you don’t really need to worry

Reply to comment by bingworm in Is there any hard evidence (not anecdotal) that "high quality" clothes actually last longer than their cheap counterparts? by bingworm
I just can’t imagine much quality research would have been done on this because what kind of scholarly breakthrough is that going to lead to? Who do you imagine is paying to do this research? Best case scenario would be a clothing company pays to do the research, but 1. That increases the chance that they are aiming to get a specific answer from the study (bad research) and 2. Quality of clothing as it relates to price has endless relevant factors and permutations, how do you truly study that even if there was someone who cared to?
We all know anecdotally that generally speaking things made better will last longer, and that there is often a relationship associated with cost and how well things are made. But it’s so case by case, there are exceptions, this just seems impossible to get a definitive answer on. You may be able to find actual data about the durability of specific materials, and then buy based on materials used vs brands.
