Recommend me some work trousers

[chimpy leon]

Hi all,

I need some new trousers, not for bushcraft but for work.

They need them to be very hard wearing, heavy duty, have multiple pockets and somewhat resistant to oil.

Got £50 max to spend

Any recommendations?

Oh and in any colour so long as they are black.

Thanks

Cool. I do performance suspensions. Not really found oil resistant yet but I wear cheap aldi work trousers in black and grey usually, pockets for my ruler, calipers, de-burrer and all that fun stuff on one side, calculator and Zeus and Oracle data charts and reference tables in the cargo pocket on the left leg. Sport soccer have cheap Dunlop cordura trousers in my area too. I'm loath to spend loads as I do a lot of welding and grinding as well as machining, set fire to my jumper just today. Homebase have a decent range of trousers in cordura, have a look online and see what suits you sir

Have a browse on HERE, I've got several different pairs and thoroughly recommend them.

Thanks I will. I also begrudge spending too much on work wear too but Im quite tough on trousers and the thinner material/lower quality ones wear out quite fast with me. Wanted to see if it works out more economical to spend a bit more on a decent pair that last.

Thanks, they seem like they would do the trick. Does the knee area last well on them?

I got a pair of scruff pro trousers the other day, very impressed with them, multi pockets etc.. the sizings are generous, i paid £40 in a shop, & they can be had on ebay for £38 with free postage.

Carhartts are VERY well made.

Try the Helicon SFU trousers, I am a welder and they last pretty well, double knees helps.

Very well. The oldest pair I have (These ones), are 7 years old, and have had a fair old battering. Incredibly tough strides!
I bought a couple more pairs because they were so good. The Jeans are brilliant.

I use Portwest Action trousers for work as a gardener, they are polycotton, multiple pockets they have knee pad pockets and you can get them for around £15. I have used them for years and have found them very hardwearing.

Makita work trousers , multitude of pockets, takes dickies knee pads , have owned 5 pairs for the last 4 Years and not failed yet , as for oil resistance seems to do well with AC compressor oil

I get mine from screw fix
