Title: Work trousers
Post by: brianbarber on March 03, 2017, 06:43:53 pm
Can anybody recommend some decent work trousers and shorts

Want something decent, don't mind cost as long as they last

Engelbert Strauss - they last for ages. You can get them in different leg lengths, and they even have a fleece lined version for winter. Also they do shorts.

I use scruffs from wickes. Had the same couple of pairs for over 3 years and still going strong. They are really hard wearing.

Engelbert Strauss, the entry level e.s cargo trousers are good but spend a wee bit extra and go for the e.s dynashield ones, lightweight and elasticated, brilliant work trousers. They have a good selection of shorts too, I went with the e.s motion summer.

I use the e.s. motion bib & brace with a polo shirt in summer and hoodie in winter.  One of the good things about e.s. stuff is that it doesn't fade easily. My b&bs last about 2 years before they have faded enough for me to replace. I have had work trousers before that look 10 years old after 3 washes!!

Tesco/asda/Lidl etc do cargo shorts and trousers for about a tenner or so, i still have pairs that ive had a couple of years or so.. why spend more its not like we are crawling around out knees or they are getting the same kind of wear as on a building site for example. Its just some cloth covering your legs with pockets on, some people really do like to waste money for the sake of it.

I use these,  but they are stocked in my local sports direct (cost 35 so may use ebay for later purchases.)

The extra pouch/pockets keep my books in. (Yep paper books that i have all my customers on, ruled out for a yrs work per month. Simply put a p for paid or o for owing. No batteries or software problems lol)

I quite like Mountain Warehouse cargos. Nearly waterproof, lots of pockets, and they do a lined version for the winter. I think i'll try engelbert for this summer based on the references above.
