Workwear trouser recommendations?

[HarryB97]

Always had Englebert & Strauss but the last pair wore through where I keep my phone in less than 6 months so not impressed! The first pair of shoes I had from them did 18 months, the last two sets only 6….

They do vat and non vat prices on the website

Bg

Sorry it was a joke with Magnus

englebert strauss best by miles. bought 4 pairs 10 years ago still wearing them. yes are dear but you get what you pay for. bought t shirts as well and they have lasted as long

No idea what Swazi forest pants would be worth in the UK, however I have been wearing a pair since they were released and they're great.

Just ordered a smaller size pair as I've lost a bit of diameter over the past year or two

Big plus for me is they turn a shower and stay really clean, and have good stretch in any direction. Managed to put a small rip in the knee (barb at 40mph does that) which never grew

"Swazi forest pants.".. the mind boggles lol


Wish i could get some more pairs of them Parkside ones ...never seen them since from emoji, original pair still going strong though.
I always get big size ones so everything swings loose ha emojoies seem to be back on☹ ....

Yes a good fat contradiction there, not many forests where the swazi live.

Seriously good trou though, I used tohate wearing most trousers for work as they always want to pinch me somewhere, usually they crease behind my knees . Off they come on go the shorts. Can't be doing with "stretch and grows" either as they snag on every available thing and the wind blows through them

These ones though, it's like someone listened to everyone's complaints and made what people actually want (that's how Swazi works)

Am I looking at the wrong thing or are they actually 250 bucks each?

Between £250-299 on these shores.

Yep I think they retail for about that. Would probably be £250 in the UK like most NZ stuff that gets there

Well that was a good stab ! That's why you guys get the big bucks

I might stick to $50 Rivet trousers from the warehouse
Although I don’t really need work trousers as I never do any

I use these, super comfy and warm. Haven't ripped them yet and I've had a pair for 2or 3 years. Wouldnt stand up to much fire near them I don't think but other than that they are excellent

Also have a couple of pairs of the summer ones which dont seem quite as sturdy but they are much less sweaty through the summer

Hoggs fife .

Lined ones?

Personally I just wear bib and brace in the shed basically all the time,

but for trousers I've generally gone for Hiking trousers, Karrimor Hotrocks are the bee's knees for that, stretchy in the right places and a decent fabric, Been through a few pairs of Craighoppers also. Not Hiking but been a big fan of the Stoney Creek Rousers, Basically wear then most of the time at the moment, they will be too warm in a few weeks though. neither are water resistance but they dry extremely quick, look decent and are functional for me.

I spend a lot of the day out on the bike touring around, one of the main things I like work trousers to be is cut to fit . These ones have a sort of pocket that holds a foam kneepad which I really appreciate in the workshop

As I either wear putties over boots, or enduro boots, the square-cut style don't really work.
Or anything with doubled-over-doubled-over fabric that forms a big "knuckle" against the ankle, so I just steer away from most stuff that are modelled on straightcut jeans

I wear Dickies Reaper trousers, the cheep ones with 2 side pockets and 1 back pocket. The last time I bought some they were about £18 per pair.

After reading the above posts I think some of you are making much more money than me...over £100 for a pair of work trousers!!!

These are really good value ,pretty hardwearing and at that price buy half a dozen pairs for the price of some other trousers.

Yes i agree , buy an expensive pair and i either rip them on wire or something or spill battery acid on them.

they look a bit like my parkside (Lidl ) ones but with out the frayed bottoms because i had to cut some off as they were enormous like a 48 inch watse or something and dangled everywhere nice and comfortable tho and with a lining which makes a bit warmer in winter not thta i l;ike to be too hot when working..
similar to these ones i think,

...probably all from the same indonesion factory ...
