Work trousers

[blacksheepcontracting]

Has anybody got any recommendations for trousers? I've been wearing jeans for years but after splitting three pairs in under 2 weeks (none of which were old) I am reevaluating.

And yes, I could lay off the pies!

Shearing jeans.

Shearing jeans.

I'll have to look into them again. The longhorn ones in wynnstay were very tight around the thigh but loose everywhere else!

I wear 'tradie' trousers all the time now, much better and far more practical than jeans etc all seams double or triple stitched and reinforced knees for grovelling under tractors/fences.

We found the welsh shearing center ones good, or fagans if you're feeling flush. They really are better than anything if you're handling a lot of sheep.

Asda jeans. only £12 they seem to last me around 6 months or so

Dickies jeans are decent. About £15 a pair I think.

Cheers for the recommendations. Think I'll try a pair of Strauss and also pay a visit to the Welsh shearing centre

Aldi work trousers are great really comfortable and hard wearing i find the pockets get holes in before the trousers wear out and only £8.99 a pair

I wear apache work stuff. Can't recommend it highly enough!

 

[willy]

I find the straus very heavy and thick, although they are good around the waist as they are stretchy

I am a fat bast#rd and the aldi work trousers last me well,had some for over 2 years now and apart from the pockets they are still good

Dickies i like th 33" cos normal 32" inch twa tight n 34 s fall down unexpected without a bit of baler twine.

+1 for Carharrt, have the double fronted ones, code B01 iirc, get a bit heavy in the summer, so have the same style but in a lighter fabric, code EB316 iirc. Still a bit thick for hot weather, but if uni need the protection, then you need it! Last pretty well, you've got to remember how long your actually wearing the things, long days, 7 days a week!
Also have Carharrt shorts, they are nice too.

Get the Carharrt stuff from Rugged & Tough, they are always easy to deal with.

Got some Dunlop work trousers, from sports direct, for a lad that works for us, made with that Cordura (think I've spelt that right) fabric, to be fair they have worn really really well, and dry very quickly if you get wet. So I've got some of those for warm days, as they are not as thick as the Carharrts.
