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 keep seeing good things about the Duluth Fire Hose Flex. Just been on their site and the “free shipping for orders over $50” seems to include Canada, so they’re only about twice as much as the Dickies. I wonder if I can get four years out of a pair :-)

      I came here to say this. Fwiw, mine are at least 5 yrs old. I do farm work, yard work, a lot of chainsaw/tree cutting work with them.

      The flex version is better than the non flex. Pay attention to the style so you get the pocket/loop configuration you want.
