Affordable Pants

Finally got by Walmart last night and took me a minute to find them. They seem to be true to size as the 34/32 worked. They're a bit more snug through the butt and legs than I like but figured I'd try them. Might be able to get a thin pair of merino wool underneath but we'll see. If they shrink I'm screwed. I did put them on at home with boots and they'll fit but not a lot of room to spare. I also ran across a pair of wrangler cargo pants that have a much more relaxed fit and are fairly thin. Wish they were the same material as outdoor pants but they were cheaper @ 22.98 vs 26.98 so I bought them too.

These are the ones this thread was started about

TSC and Big R sell similar Wranglers to what your talking about here. Same material, but reinforced knees and the pockets aren't mesh inside.
I wear them at work for the stretch in the waist and knees, and also they are very comfortable with IWB concealed carry.

They look good for work or going out, very comfortable with a good fit that doesn't bind.
I did learn to dry them on light temp for knit clothing or they will loose the stretch and get loose and sag.
Mine are more expensive, than what you're buying, but with knees reinforcement are tougher.
 
I'm praying these are a reboot of the old "wrangler rugged wear" that became wrangler ATG….

I bought 5 pairs of the old ones and LOVED them…. 6 years ago! I have 2 pairs left and they are my go to hunting/work pants and I've patched many times.

I will be checking these out!
 
A short while back, Wrangler had an ad for Thinsulate lined pants that were on sale but I waffled on buying them. Now, I don't seem to find them on their site, fleece lined, yes, but not the Thinsulate.
 
A little over a month and these el cheapos are still rocking.
They have become my winter time workout bottoms and have the ideal stretch and fit for squatting and deadlifts.
I haven't dried them yet but will likely do so in a month just to "tighten" the hem up a bit.
I've worn them hiking quite a bit and exclusively for rucking on the treadmill.
Some slight stitch wear on the bottom of the side pockets but nothing unexpected for the price point and so far it doesn't appear to be anything major.

I've been wearing g the reinforced version of these pants for about 6byrs now exclusively. I used to wear jeans, but now I dint even have any jeans anymore. They are a little more pricey but the durability is great. Super comfortable and non restrictive.
 
I have found the older I have gotten, the more "stretchier" I like my pants :) Used to, you wouldn't catch me out of jeans except in church on Sundays.

I love those wranglers mentioned in this thread, I have a couple pair left i bought on clearance. They are so dang comfortable.

Most of my wardrobe comes from Costco or Sams. I have a couple pair of Orvis "stretchy" pants I picked up on clearance for $14. They are water/wind resistant and super comfortable. I wear these elk hunting early season.

I have a few of the sams brand "weatherproof" pants as well. As cheap as they are, I dont' worry about getting them dirty/oily.
 
I love Wranglers and especially the flex fit. But, I'll throw my favorite daily wear pants into the mix: https://www.duluthtrading.com/men/collections/fire-hose-workwear/mens-fire-hose-pants/

They have three different "fits" for your personal preference. They really flex, and are a pretty tough material. My favorite feature is that they have VERY deep front pockets as opposed to my Wrangler pockets. It makes it easy to hide a pocket pistol, and no worry about losing keys, etc from the pockets. They have both cargo and dressier models.

They are a little more pricey, but, if you catch on sale they are pretty affordable. They would be hard to wear out with the fire hose material.

Duluth is my go-to for pants and underwear. Indestructible!

My wife is on their email list and gets 40% off any purchase coupons all the time. She'll wait until the things she likes go on their 40% off sales and then use the 40% off coupon on top of it. She ends up with well made clothes for dirt cheap.

Duluth is a favorite here. I have a couple of different styles of overalls and they're great. The wife and kids have several pair, too. They run great discount promotions.

Thanks.

Question; how do the "fire hose" material perform in warm weather? I get hot super easy, plus I'm always in the go. One reason I didn't cry about spending the money on Kuiu Attack Pants for Alaska was being able to unzip the sides vent out the heat my body produces.

Fire hose material is heavy. I don't wear them much in summer

It would be about like wearing a pair of jeans. I don't find them to be noticeably warmer than jeans.
 
My favorite hot weather fishing pants are the Skwala Sol pants. For summer travel or being out on a flats boat, they can't be beat. The fabric has micro pores that wind/breeze blows right through. And, they don't wrinkle much for hot weather traveling.

They are a light duty quick dry pant that wouldn't hold up for hunting.
 
I wear the Flex fire hose Duluth pants. They don't last as long as they used to but do well and aren't hot in the summer to me.
These have become my go to pants. I'm picky about being too tight or too hot and wear these almost year round. I recently bought a pair of the flex fire hose shorts for summer because the family said my legs are offending people!

I have the fire hose bibs (not the flex) and they are hot and stiff but you could get drug down the highway and they wouldn't lose even a single stitch. I only use them for working around the farm in the winter.
