I’m retired spend most of my time in my workshop or doing maintenance on outbuildings on our rural property. I really like Dickies Duck Logger pants, but they seem to wear out quickly. I have three pairs that get worn almost constantly in rotation. The oldest pair is now just over two years old and is worn out - I’ve repaired the seam in the crotch once, but now the fabric either side of it is thread bare. My phone has worn trough the bottom of the right front pocket.

Are there similar pants that will last longer, or am I expecting too much?

I’m in Canada.

    I’m skipping through the project farm “affordable” video and found the summary table:

    I think that “1” says they did **not **do well on crotch tearing. They stand up remarkably well for other abrasion - I’ve been rebuilding a foundation and spending a lot of time crawling around under an old shed - the knees still look like new!

      It’s a bit counterintuitive, but for his tests, lower values = better result. The dickies required the most force to tear apart at the crotch.
