Work trousers

[ridger]

Wanting some new ones, softer material because the skin on one leg is very thin, not a ridiculous amount of pockets, but not like the last ones I bought, where the pockets empty themselves when I sat on sofa. What do I look for?

Aldi workwear.

Retired pub jeans?

Quite like the cargo trousers I got from Tesco recently, not as heavy a material as dickies etc, comfortable but seem hard-wearing

I often find offers in builders merchants.maybe I’m an odd size,38 waist but I’ve picked up dickies and another well know brand whose name I cannot currently recall fir around £10 pair.when I’m with builders I often collect materials so usually have a look at the offers.

Englebert Strauss, not the cheapest but last for years

Craghoppers kiwi trousers, the best working trouser I have used!
They are the fastest drying trousers I know, you can get drenched one minute five minutes later the sun comes out, and they dry on your legs.......

Tescos chinos cheap and light . Hate jeans

 

[Jamer]

Carharrt work trousers for me. Not the cheapest but all cotton, (no holes after welding the other day), deep pockets which last; unlike a lot of modern far eastern made rubbish.- Deep enough I can't reach my wallet as well.

Doesn’t meet the “softer material” criteria, as all Strauss workwear is thick poly cotton* which is quite abrasive and doesn’t wick sweat. Other than that it’s really well made...

*-the only cotton Strauss workwear is the decorators bib and brace. Great for looking like an oompah loompa.

Another vote for Craghoppers Kiwis, good and lightweight in the summer. I get about three years out of a pair

There's a lined winter version, or you could wear a pair of cheap leggings underneath.

However, I have worn a hole in mine and can't get my size online at the moment so have bought a pair of Site King cargo trousers which seem to be fine although I've only had 'em a week.

Your loose change down the back?

+ 1 for Englebert Strauss - or ex-military (not camo and not fashion copies). I've bought German or Austrian from here https://www.flecktarn.co.uk/solidcolours_olive_trousers.html
but if you do, try and avoid walking like Basil Fawlty.......

By time you paid for the Carharrts there's no need for the wallet cos its empty.

The Dickies Everyday 24/7 range work trousers are a much thinner and lighter material than the other trousers in their portfolio. Perfect for summer.

I'm a 38 waist, and am always amazed I cant find that size in a pile of trousers. Bigger, smaller, but not 38. It is either an uncommon size that is not made, or common so it sells out.

Middle of Lidl do work trousers occasionally, typical cargo design but one sort is lined, almost 'padded'. I have two pairs, great when it's chilly outside

Try looking for a 28 waist and 36 leg in women's workwear. It's easier to find a heap of unicorn poo.
