[QUOTE=newman;177408]I go to the thrift store, buy double knit polyester slacks like we used to wear in the 70’s for practicaly nothing. They come in many styles and hi vis colors.

[QUOTE=renoun;177306]I’ve switched from Carhartt to [Blaklader](https://www.blaklader.com/en/products/pants) which are from Sweden but have become fairly available in the US. They are much more durable than Carhartt for a slight price premium with an option for well integrated knee pads and very useful cargo pockets. I like brawny pants for winter wear and bantam pants for summer wear but you can also get even heavier pants or high viz pants now too.[/QUOTE] Just for fun, I took a look at Blaklader pants the other day at the Whistle workwear store in SoDo. I discovered that they are only made in small, and super small, sizes for skinny underfed Euro-Vegans. ---

Im not a shopper. If not for tools i hate to shop, so when i was at the thrift shop i saw 2 pair of jeans correct size i grabbed and got the hell out. I through 'em in the wash and brought them to the boat.when i went to put them on my legs wouldnt fit in,? Too much time at the diner? Too many donuts? Upon closer inspection i found i had purchased “skinny” jeans. Im an older guy with a homer simpson phyique and im not on this earth to impress many people but ill be damned if i walk around my boat wearing tights. Through 'em in the trash. ---

Wrangler Rustlers from walmart are $12.50. Nearly indestructible and will wear in to your body shape over time. Wrangler Rodeos are $20-$30 and are a level up in durability and deeper pockets. Have to find them at country stores or walmart wayyyy in the sticks. A word of advice I once heard was go to a thrift store. You can outfit a seabag for nothing and after all, they are clothes to throw away! ---
