Blaklader Men's X1600 Cotton Durable Work Pants with Cordura Reinforced Pockets

Best work pants I’ve owned. They are true to size. I got 32 x 30 and I’m a short guy that is used to having pants hemmed because the 30 inseam is ALWAYS longer than described. These are perfect for me so I loved that. The pockets are awesome. I can fit everything I need in them, channel locks, level, tape measure, gloves, utility knife, screws… I mean you name it. And they all hold COMFORTABLY. They also look pretty cool and the fabric hasn’t faded a whole lot compared to Carhartt pants. But I didn’t get these for the appearance so whatever. The material seems durable also, I work on my knees a lot (I’m a plumber) and they held up pretty well. I’m going to purchase the knee pads soon too so they’ll be even better. Overall, bad ass pants for bad ass blue collar workers. Five stars, worth every penny

Exactly as advertised, these pants were obviously designed with serious construction work in mind. Absolutely worth spending the extra money for these over any other work pants. Ive never been more happy with any purchase. I work, a lot, and my work gear gets some serious wear and tear. These pants hold up to everything I could put them through, and they're extremely comfortable. They fit exactly right, to the point that I don't even need to wear a belt, which makes wearing my tool belt with these pants even more comfortable. Usually I'm not a fan of built in tool pouches because I rarely use them, but the design of these built in pouches is beyond perfect. If you don't want to use the pouches, they tuck inside of the pants and actually provide additional cushioning on my hip bones, exactly where my hips usually get sore from the weight of my huge tool belt all day long. On most other work pants with built in pouches, I just cut them off as I never use them over my tool belt. With these pants, I love that they're there, tucked into the pants and adding extra cushioning. Whoever designed these pants really thought of everything. So many zippered pockets, loops, and pouches, I easily and safely carry my phone, vape, painkillers, putty knife, and utility blade. I love the zippered pockets for my phone and vape especially. I used to leave them in my vehicle as they would always get covered in sawdust, dirt, and other debris. Vaping sawdust sucks. But with the huge zippered pockets, my vape easily fits inside and never gets any sawdust or debris in it. These pants just FEEL serious. The material is incredibly resilient and sturdy. Whenever I put these on I feel like I'm putting on a suit of armor. My boss and anyone else I work with have been real impressed with all the features, and at least two of my coworkers are ordering a pair of these after seeing me wear mine. They also look awesome. They form to my body perfectly, never feel like they get in the way. Some work pants just feel too baggy, reducing my mobility. Not these. They are heavy duty pants but I feel agile and mobile whenever I wear them. The kneepad pocket design is different than what I'm used to. Usually you insert kneepad from the top, and then velcro the pocket shut. With these pants, the Blacklader Kneepads (which are not included, and are much larger than most traditional kneepad inserts. Highly recommend those as well) fit VERY snuggly inside the kneepad pockets, but are inserted from the bottom. Then there is a small lip inside the pocket that the bottom of the kneepad sits on top of. No velcro, buttons, or zippers, and it's a TIGHT fit. Took me fifteen minutes to actually get the Kneepads to fit in properly, but once they are in, they don't move or slide around like most other kneepad inserts I've used. And they are big. Longer than traditional Kneepads, they protect most of my shin and my knees. They were difficult enough to get in that I don't even bother removing them, I just wash the pants with the Kneepads in the pockets. It's tricky to get them in, but completely worth it once you've got it. I can't recommend these pants enough. If you've ever been on the fence about spending a bit more for Blacklader pants, all I can say is, you should buy these. You will not regret it. Ill be ordering another pair soon, eventually I'd like all of my work pants to be Blacklader.

Great Product! These hold up much and last longer than cheaper brands.

I'm a grade checker and I love these pants for work. I have been able to eliminate my bags all together and just carry all my grade checking tools with these pants. This saves me a lot of time and weight. I like this Cordura version for winter.

The materials used on this pair of pants is very strong and durable.

I will start with I own 3 sets of "Blåkläder 2650-1370 Sleeveless Overalls" and they are 100% the best work attire I have ever worked in. BUT! they are not sold in the states. New job has a "uniform requirement" that includes black pants. So, as much as I want to I can't use those overalls, but I found these black pants. NOTE the cut is not a "Relaxed fit cut" like most US jeans so buy larger and use a belt if you need too. These do allow you pretty much a always attached tool belt, so if your like me and never set tools down (when ya do you lose them) these are great. Main negative is that if you have big thighs like me, the side pockets are attached completely and I blew it out by having my large wallet in the pocket when I crouched down to lift a toilet. But even minus the one pocket there are still more then on any other work pants I've had. The material is thick and durable and the seams strong. insertable knee pads are great and I hate when I wear pants that don't have the pockets for the kneepads. They are sold separately and you can get any brand of the insertable knee pads not just blaklader's ones. Moral of the story, if your in the US and looking for a great pair of work pants that include a tool belt I can't recommend a better product. If your in europe? Blåkläder 2650-1370 Sleeveless Overalls is far superior.

I bought 1 pair to test off a recommendation from a coworker, and soon after, bought 2 more pair. Was hesitant at first, and when I first got them, was still skeptical. The sizing is accurate for work pants made for actual work. After a few days of using them, I have found more uses for pockets and holders than I expected, they are broken in and super comfortable. highly recommend getting knee pad inserts as well. I can't recommend these pants enough. Finally, my favorite unexpected bonus, is a pocket on the left leg that barely fits safety glasses, I have never found a reliable way to store them until now, I always have a pair tucked in there now.

Love these pants! had them a while now and they are holding up well, are comfotable, and true to size

Good quality work pants.

These are great pants but was asked by seller to pay $30 to return by mail when the size wasn't right. The ease of return is what makes taking a chance with Amazon purchases worthwhile. Great pants
