Work trousers.

[Simonslimline]

Just wondering what brand of work trousers anyone uses/recommends.

I usually go for scruffs pro but the 2012 version which seemed the best are not available anymore.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Primarks finest jeans or worn out Levi's for me

 

[uksparks]

I like DeWalt but the only problem is they fade over time but if you get the thick cordura version they don't.

Snickers 3311 for me. I tried panoply before and i didn't think much of them.

Looking at the pro heavyweight version, they look good.

 

[Risteard]

Snickers without a doubt.

I second the Snickers,wore em; for twenty years. Quality materials,knee pockets for permanent pads,can wash them in boiling acid....

Expensive,but i'm worth it...have been told that a very good night can be had,for the same money...

Miss one night out...have yourself a snappy set of duds :aureola:

I have got a pair of snickers trousers but I find them a little big and too heavy weight.

snickers floor layers much tougher rip stop material not cheap last ages

 

[telectrix]

lightweight cargo pants. £17/pair... ebay. suits me

cant stand modern "work trousers". polycotton materials makes your bum overheat. too many pockets you look like a christmas tree in them, if I need to have tools on me then I got a nice toolbelt for that.
got a pair of levis jeans in my local charity shop, £2 value for money, wearing them daily for 4 months still going strong.

would go for a pair of carhatt on day, but theres no where to try them on locally, and dont fancy buying wrong size on the net.

Engelbert Strauss for me. Massive choice, very comfortable, more gloves than you can shake a stithy stick at! I'd unhesitatingly recommend them.

Another vote for snickers here.

They last and last.

I like all the pockets, more pockets to store loose bolts, screws, washers, crimps etc etc ha

I'm still wearing blaklader trousers after years of use. My oldest pair must be 7 years old or more. Have repaired stitching in the pockets when tools have gone through, but the only fabric wear is on the kneepad pockets. Proper cotton, amazingly comfy, and super heavy duty but cost the blooming earth.

Helly Hansen Chelsea Trouser Grey Black Size 40 Regular by Viking

Helly Hansen ones, you can probably find cheaper ones, that was just the first link i clicked on google.

I'm with Andy78 on this one, I had a pair of Blackladers for ages, very strong, and really comfy, Plenty of pockets too, ensuring you never find anything you need first time... It was only an unfortunate incident with a tin of paint when I was fitting my bedroom carpet that got the better of them.

Snickers floor layers for me too. The knee pads last for ever and the material around the knee is kevlar i think so its much tougher than the normal material used.

 

[sparksburnout]

OOhhhh blimey get you lot. I can see you all strutting your stuff with Kevlar knees and more pockets than a top end mattress.
I got some of those multi pocket jobs once, missus went mad when she went to wash them, took her half an hour to fill an empty jam jar with nuts, bolts, crimps, clips, odd lengths of sleeving, screws, wallplugs, wagos, bits of cut-off wire ends, various bits of tape, beer vouchers, sausage roll receipts from birds I didn't want her to see and even 2 "buy 6 get a free pint" Doombar cards from the local with only 5 stamps on. Now I stick to Tesco £5 jeans, much safer.

 

[sam400]

Snickers trousers for me, my last pair lasted 5yrs so there cheap!

 

[rich.250]

Snickers all the way.
Had mine 4 years and not faded or ripped!
Brought a pair of the lightweight ones for summer too.

I think I bought the same ones with the multi pockets. There was so much loose change along with all the other bits you describe. I realised after a while when they had got so heavy that I could hardly pull them up in the morning that it was about time to relieve them of their contents and maybe even get them washed. I filled up an empty ice cream plastic container with the bits that I thought might come in handy one day, probably never will. Stuck it in the back of the van and then two days later spilt the entire contents all over the back of the van and spent ages emptying the van to retrieve them all. Jeans on a lot of smaller domestic jobs and Dickies off eBay for £13 if I am going to get mucky!!!!

Took me two years of grovelling on my knees to wear out the floor layers trousers.
