Best Workwear Brand?
Like you I've been on a hunt for the "best" (or, best for me) work wear pants. After burning through many, many pairs of Weatherproof Vintage pants from Costco, I decided it was time to spend more and experiment, without breaking the bank on Japanese denim or in 1620 work clothes. I bought one pair from many brands I thought were affordable. Here's my ranking from best to worst. 1. Patagonia (the non-stretch version). This is heavy, heavy duck cloth. The fit in the waist can be tight because of the zero stretch. The pants take a beating with sweat, sawdust, paint, and other crap but they feel and move and breathe like new, and have protected me from lots of sharp things. I've washed them only a handful of times. The aesthetic can be kind of funny with the pocket design and zero taper in the ankles. 2. Dickies. The double knee pants. These both feel and look good. They're lighter while still being tough. They age nicely. Great pants. They're a touch long compared to other brands, so sometimes I roll them, but then they catch sawdust. Sometimes the crotch rides up when sitting. 3. Duluth. Maybe too heavy weight? I'm uncomfortable wearing these in warmer weather because they're just so heavy. In the winter I love them. The pocket design is also a little too wide, like things can fall out when working horizontal or if your likes are a bit elevated. 4. Carhartt. Not a fan so far. The sizing seems literally random. With a tool belt, they fall down a lot, even with a regular belt. They're flimsy. The pockets are frayed and roughed up from my multi tool. Best denim: Prison Blues. Without getting into any ethics or political debates, I'll just say that the denim is super high quality, 14.5ozs, and really well built pants. They can seem quite wide fitting, but the young kids tell me that's the style these days.

Searching for mens work pants w/o sag
I like what I get from Prison Blues. They make Made in America jeans, too--with or without the buttons for their suspenders. Double front or single front jeans, your choice.

Long Lasting Jeans for Mechanic
Your budget does not support BIFL denim. Your only real hope might be double knee jeans, Prison Blues and Wrangle make them.
