I am a construction worker. I got these because the slim fit Carhartt's I usually wear were discontinued. The closest substitute, in the exact same size were so small I could not button them! I almost changed brands, but Carhartt lasts and usually fits, so I tried again.My discontinued Carhartt's had lasted for years of daily abuse (for real). They are thick, hot and stiff ~ not wonderful in the sticky south! But I appreciated the quality and longevity. I am a big fan of the double front, but that only adds to the thick, hot and stiff...This variety are are soft and flexible... still hot, but a major improvement in comfort and softness. My first words when I put them on were "I can't believe it! They are actually comfortable!". I really like the fit and especially the comfort. I put my work pants through the wringer! I hope these last for years like my previous ones, but it is so nice to not be constantly "aware" of the stiffness, that I may forgive them if they last for slightly less time.Like other reviewers, I wish they were available in boot cut. Haha... I guess they think we wear these with pumps!
