I’m retired spend most of my time in my workshop or doing maintenance on outbuildings on our rural property. I really like Dickies Duck Logger pants, but they seem to wear out quickly. I have three pairs that get worn almost constantly in rotation. The oldest pair is now just over two years old and is worn out - I’ve repaired the seam in the crotch once, but now the fabric either side of it is thread bare. My phone has worn trough the bottom of the right front pocket.

Are there similar pants that will last longer, or am I expecting too much?

I’m in Canada.

      Wow - $230 a pair (with tax and shipping). Do you get 8+ years from them?? I do like the look of them though - the front pockets look big enough that you can get things out while wearing gloves?

        that surprised me and i had to check.

        north american catalogues don’t have all the options and it seems to be much more expensive there.

        i get 3 years at least but it’s a lot cheaper in Europe

        What i like about blaklader is that you can get the pockets out of your pockets 🙂 and everything becomes more accessible

          Looks like a Canada problem. The most expensive pants are 160 to where I live in the us
