Which work trousers?

[lexicon101]

Hmm two makes of trousers I generally buy are

1. Panoply (Do an ok work trainer also that can match the trousers, if you are that way inclined), also (as with the next ones also) once they get covered in the usual products , simply bin/replace.
was getting sick of paying 30-50 quid on jobman, snickers, dickies etc, as slightly better quality as they are, they don't justify the price v length of time they stay looking good.

There is also a good deal on these on ebay , 2* pair + Knee pads, 30 odd quid IIRC for the above...

2. Toolstation own brand I think, good trousers for servicing , plenty pockets for drivers , and bits n bobs etc..

Cheap trousers always fail me but I keep buying them hoping the next brand will be better.

Its always the pocket where I keep my pens that comes away first, I reach into my pocket for a pen and find it empty and have to borrow customers. Lost countless pens.

it normally more the neon testing driver I get frustrated about loosing!

I swear by Mascot workwear. Pricey. About £60 a pair but I've never had quality like it.

I agree with mascot being good work trousers, although the magnets in the pockets is a bit of a gimmick. I personally like Tranemo, the material is a bit thick, good for the winter, nightmare in summer! Would love a pair of snickers floorlayer but are a bit pricey at £ 110 + with the pads :shocked3:. I just won a pair of Blaklader in a competition which are pretty good for the time being.

Personally, I really don't take well to wearing trousers anyway, not since I've started wearing a bib and brace overall. Sick of pulling them up with loaded pockets, and a belt digging in to try and stop it. Brace is much more comfortable.

anyone ever tried the dewalts? got a pair coming tomorrow that i got on ebay. £45 delivered with knee pads a belt and a hat

Was on Snickers now on Scruffs. Both great trousers. Use them with Redback knee pads

 

[Glenwils]

Scruffs pro for me. Great trousers with lots of decent sized pockets.

I've got a pair of DeWalt work trousers and the fly opening is too short. Makes it really uncomfortable taking a pee unless you do it girly style.
