Devil-Dog Dungarees Athletic Fit Performance Stretch Jeans, $50 (was $99)
Why We Love This Deal
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is live now through Aug 19. And while that may sound like shoppers have time on their side, the fact of the matter is that the best deals and sizes are going to start selling out quickly—it happens every year. The typical players, like AllSaints and its leather jackets and On running shoes, are back again this year, but if you need a good pair of jeans, skip the search and jump straight to this veteran-founded brand, which is offering 50% off much of its denim.
The Devil-Dog Dungarees Athletic Fit Performance Stretch Jeans are now only $50. In fact, as part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, most of Devil-Dog Dungarees jeans styles are currently marked down to $50, but this style is your best bet if you want a flattering fit and good stretch, plus one of Men’s Journal’sstylish editors confirms these pants are soft and comfy.
Devil-Dog Dungarees was founded by WWI vet Louis Rosenstock in 1948, and his grandchildren run the company now. PRNewsline reported that the company donated $125,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project in the four years between 2019 and 2023, showing a continued dedication to veterans.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: These pants are available in 21 sizes, ranging from 30 x 30 to 40 x 34; tall sizes are available.
- Style: 5-pocket
- Cut Notes: Wide thigh, tapered leg
- Fabric Blend: 74% cotton, 24% polyester, 2% spandex
- Moisture-Wicking?: Yes
This is a noticeably lightweight fabric blend with moisture-wicking tech in the fabric. As a result, it’s going to feel different than your typical denim, especially on overly hot and muggy summer days. And the responsive stretch around the thighs and knees is going to make movement feel easy, too. If you’ve worn jeans this summer and have wanted to scream from the heat and feeling stuck in the legs, consider this pair over abandoning jeans outright.
The fit is a pretty typical athletic cut, though there's some extra room in the thigh and a subtle taper on the leg. Between these factors and a well-cut seat, Devil-Dog Dunarees’ Athletic Fit Performance Stretch Jeans provide a more natural shape than straight leg jeans without sacrificing comfort in the process. Pair these jeans with sneakers and a high-stretch shirt for a high-comfort take on a classic look.
