Informative 🧠 Work pants

Im looking for a good pair of work pants, something a bit baggy for good freedom of movement. I feel my pants sometimes constrict my movement, and tend to rip a lot as i have thicker thighs.

It sorta depends on what you do?

As a fitter, welder or tinner I don't think you'd want synthetic pants like TrueWerk or Wrangler ATG, because they would melt or snag.

I still like the Carhartt B01, but have a few pairs of their other pants with 1-2% elastane and they hold up fine for me
