Carpenter Pants?

They're so functional, how come nobody wears them anymore?

They're so functional, how come nobody wears them anymore?

#1) They insinuate work
#2) The modern "male" physique (affected by estrogen hormones in the food chain?) is now encapsulated in skinny jeans*. And the dudes that fall at the far opposite end of the spectrum now wear pajama bottoms.

*Seriously....many of the dudes I graduated with almost 40 years ago had full beards and chest so full of hair that it practically fought its way out from under a shirt collar. The muscle tone and body build was entirely different. Don't believe me? Find somebody's yearbook and take a look. Something is obviously changing. There wasn't a single dude I knew of that was capable of squeezing his arse into the jeans they wear today.

And that's being serious ?? Somebody has too much thinking time on their hands and doesn't know how to it utilize it.

I wear Chico khaki pants for work. They make my ass look good.
Sounds like James had a crush on burly men with chest hair fighting its way out from under the shirt collar. Those muscles bulge filled the crotch of the pants out 40 years ago.
My yearbook 55 years ago we wore corduroy pants with Bass weejuns.

In 1974 Biggie Smalls almost died because the umbillical cord was wrapped around his neck.

I wear something similar to them, kind of a hydbrid carpenter-hiking pant similar to Carharts. I got tired of ruining nice slacks and jeans at work and found some cheap ones.

it seems like they would slow you down, you have to pat way too many pockets to find your squeegee.

 

[Boudica]

I know exactly which pocket my squeegee is in.

On the job or in the classroom I wear blue jean painters pants everyday. Get them at Fleet Farm when on sale. Comfy and able to stretch/bend while installing. Phone fits perfectly in the small pocket on the right.

My wife just informed me that she wears the pants in the family.
