I wear 5.11 pants everyday. Much more practical than jeans, and after 1000 wash cycles, still together and not torn in any way. Well, besides any holes from MIG welding or the plasma.

Cargo pants/shorts never went out of style and no matter what brand jeans I was getting, they would only last about 9 months with regular use.
How many of the 11 pockets do you actually use?

Oh I like 5.11 stuff. I used to wear it all the time. May go back to it as im tired of having jeans wear out so quickly.

The commercial though :puke2:

I pay 20 bucks for a pair of jean from target. I wear them until I get grease on them then I'll use them as work pants. My current pair of work pants are 3 years old and don't have any holes in them. They just replaced my last pair that has holes in the knees, but now I have 2 pairs. Pair before that I got 5 years out of before my fat ass ripped a hole in the crotch.

Pants are a wear item. No pun intended.

Seriously I was sad when my last pair finally disintegrated because it meant I had to kill a pair that I liked wearing. I've got like 3 pairs of shorts I rotate through when it's warmer.

Dickies is all you'll ever need shorts and pants .. problem solved

Carhartt bro. Double knee is the only way to go. I get mine from Sierra Trading Post for 22 bucks a pair delivered.

Here's a pro tip. Never buy shorts. Eventually, even double knee pants wear through if you actually work for a living. Once they do, cut the legs off and convert them to shorts. If you get real fancy you can even hem them so cotton threads don't get fucking everywhere. lol
