There is one in Clarksville but that might be the only one. Not sure. 

There are several around Knoxville 

I wear their bibs a lot but CC can be difficult with bibs. I am using a 2A4life belly band   Works well for compact guns. 
as far as jeans it’s carpenters pants 

they have a lot more room for fat boys

I did buy a pair of LL Bean jeans off ebay. They fit great, but seem pretty thin.

They have a couple different styles. I do have one pair that has a bit of stretch, softer feel, and is a bit thinner than what I normally buy. The ones I typically buy are as thick if not thicker than the Levi offerings I had been wearing before. 
I have only had the thinner pair 6 months or so and they are holding up just fine but I could not give a long term assessment at this point. The thicker ones are a 5+ year jean for me if I don't get them covered in grease.

We’re guys. Our pants are supposed to be covered in grease.

To be fair if they are covered in grease they just end up as "Garage Jeans" or "Mowing Jeans". I just stop wearing them out to dinner with my wife. She gets upset if I look like I have been under a car all day.

Mine has given up. She is happy if I just go out to dinner.

I'm likely on the younger side of the crowd here, but I've always found Old Navy jeans to be favorable. They have a Relaxed Fit and a Boot Cut. I typically buy a couple of pairs every couple of years when they have one of their denim sales (you can usually get a pair of jeans for around $20 or less - I'm super cheap on buying stuff for myself).

Once I've added a couple of nicer pairs, I'll cycle the old ones to mowing/yard/auto/dirty/greasy work and save the newer pairs for church/9-5/shopping/dinner.

I've given up on Levy's (politics) and Wrangler both due to inconsistent fit.  They're not the most durable or price friendly but I've really found I like Lucky jeans.  You can usually find them on sale for $50-60.

interesting note, when you unzip the fly, there's a tag that says "you got lucky".  I assume that's for someone other than yourself that's doing the unzipping. 😜

I used to buy black RUSTLERS for this reason. desk jockey now so none of that matters. when they get too thin for office I retire them to the garage.

I’ve never had a pair of Lucky jeans. My kids have. They both said they were like a cheap hotel...no ballroom.

Does that mean you can't dance in them?

My wife picked me up 3 pairs of American Eagle jeans and 1 pair of Wrangler Retros at a yard sale this morning, all for $19. All are like new and fit great. What a gal! That's what I was looking for.👍

Many thanks for all the advice.

AE sounds like skinny jeans made for Hipsters

During the last 20 years i was required to wear Flame Retardant clothing in chemical, refining and fuel industries.  Carhartt was my choice for the majority of that time due to fit and quality.  If my size doesn't require a change,  it will be several years before my supply is worn out.  As I don't need FR any longer, price will become a factor.  I'll probably see what is available at Costco or Sams.
