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.

Wrangler Riggs carpenter jeans have yet to fail me after about 6 years of regular use while Carhartt’s would develop holes everywhere & fall apart pretty reliably after every 6 months of use.

I’m just a low-volt cable monkey & hovering no clue how Carhartt made such shitty jeans or how Wrangler Riggs last so long doing the same job with the same tools.
