I design and install cabinetry, and I have 3 pairs. Although I don’t install much anymore, I am confident that I can wear these on the job and not worry about them ripping or tearing if they get caught on duct-work, or on errant screws and nails. The reinforced knees and more pockets than I even realized make them all the more functional.
Day-to-day I am more likely to wear them to meet with existing clients or during sales calls. The fit and style are nice enough to signal to clients a credence/clout concerning both my design and practical carpentry knowledge. Yes they are expensive. But this is easily justified in two ways. First, they are made in the USA. Second, when I buy something, I want to buy it once. The likelihood of having to replace these pants because of fabric tearing or seams breaking looks very unlikely.
Highly recommended.
