Overall, these have become my everyday pants. I wanted something slim fitting with a more traditional pant/jean cut and these fit and flex really well. Like other reviewers mention, the fabric is soft and relatively lightweight compared to something like Carhartt duck fabric. You will wear through these pretty fast if you're doing anything that looks like work. The right-thigh pockets are the killer feature here and cannot be understated how excellent the pocket is designed. Personally, I can't stand carrying phones in one of the usual four pants pockets. And cargo pockets are shaped improperly to hold a phone. The main right-thigh pocket is great for any size phone. It is also partially closed on the top creating an angled entry. This means your phone won't slip out when you're sitting slightly reclined (unlike far more expensive pants with a similar pocket location). The smaller right-thigh pocket is perfect for pencils and markers and makes them easy to reach while you're laying out cuts. The one thing that keeps these from replacing basically 80% of the pants in my closet is the hammer loop. I've looked at literally every Dickies pants to see if I can get the the same style without the hammer loop and it doesn't exist. Without the hammer loop (that is probably useful to like 2% of tradesman anyway), these could even be worn as business casual. These would be the ideal travel pants: comfy on the airplane, barely dressy enough for a business meeting, and tough enough on the job site. Dickies: Please make these exact same pants without the hammer loop and I'll make a lifetime purchase to account for replacing these as they wear out :) Read more

These are THE best work pants. The perfect combination of price, quality, durability, and comfort. I do landscaping for work and enjoy being an auto mechanic as a hobby. They hold up to everything. These pants are super comfortable, stretchy, breathable, lightweight, yet durable. I've been purchasing these (as well as the double knee version) for years. The "Jean" material (thicker) pants from dickies and Carhaart are way to stiff and thick. These pants are the ideal middle ground for everything. The only con is the pockets are thin. I have a thick wallet that I keep in my front pocket. The constant rubbing over the years wears the pockey material out. (This takes 2+ years of wear to do). Ill take that con anyday though. The pants are worth it. Read more

I was looking for some good work pants and I found them. Solid, up to the task and fit well. Have a side leg pocket that works perfect to keep my phone out of my front pockets so it doesn't get smashed when I lift heavy things. The only thing I wish is that the two belt loops in the front were closer to the button. They are far enough away from the button that there is some sag in the front because the belt won't support there. Read more

These Dickies Tough Max carpenter pants live up to their name! I’ve put them through some serious work days—bending, climbing, crawling—and they hold up great. The fabric feels durable but still flexible, which makes them super comfortable to wear all day. The reinforced pockets and hammer loop are handy, and they haven’t shown any signs of wear even after multiple washes. Perfect for the job site or even casual wear. I’ll definitely be buying more pairs. Highly recommend for anyone who needs tough, reliable work pants, that fit perfectly. Read more

The material is good bit the fit is snug. I normally wear a 36 waist giving me slight room. These pants were tight around the waist and slightly uncomfortable driving. Maybe I'm just getting fatter and my other pants are stretched to the max already. Read more
