6packofun Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 without wearing through in a month? lol Ds22 needs new pants and he's almost ready to get some unfashionable cargo pants, but I'm telling him NO. He doesn't have this problem with jeans but he has to wear khakis or something like that for work. They don't have to be "dress" pants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I always carry my Samsung phone (I think the display is 4.5") and my wallet, in my Right front pants pocket. I usually wear Jeans, but that also works with other pants. NEVER carry a cell phone or your keys in a back pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 DH wears Dockers. They eventually wear through from the bicycle commute when the fabric gets threadbare where it rubs against the saddle. But that takes a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 My ds wears khakis. He has a tan pair that is Sonoma, and a black pair that is Chaps. They both have deep front pockets. We got them from the men's dept. at Kohls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Carhart is strong. They may qualify as jeans, though. You might also look into tactical pants from places like LAPoliceGear. They're made to hold holsters and such, so they may be a little stronger than regular khakis, but still not jeans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Carhartts. Hubby wears the black ones to church, board meetings, and site visits. They're super versatile. Also? They make his butt look great. http://www.carhartt.com/category/carhartt-mens-work-pants Edited November 18, 2016 by Arctic Mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Ds is finding a lot of pants that are 100% cotton. Are those hard to care for? I thought I always remembered to avoid 100% cotton, but maybe a certain kind is less likely to wrinkle up really bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Not at all, most pants are 100% cotton for men as stretch materials just sag too much when pockets are filled and in looser fits. And in things like chinos or the aforementioned carhartts the fabric is so heavy of body it doesn't really wrinkle. They preshrunk but they do still shrink up a little each wash and relax back out. But hard to care for? Not at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Mouse Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Does the phone have to do in his pocket? My DH wears a phone case that hooks on to his belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogger Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Now I know my cargo tactical pants I wear pretty much every single day are horribly unfashionable. :) I knew this forum would teach me something. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Now I know my cargo tactical pants I wear pretty much every single day are horribly unfashionable. :) I knew this forum would teach me something. ;) Oh, I should have said "unfashionable" because we've had a few friends TELL us that they are. LOL I could care less and I like cargo tactical pants for hiking and such. I just don't want the kid getting made fun of because our family is mainly clueless about fashion. :P Honestly, he's so rough on his pants at work (a grocery store, but he does a lot of stuff in the storeroom and unloading trucks) that some of these heavier duty cargo pants would probably be the best option anyway! Usefulness is a better way to decide this, most likely--NOT fashion! Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
