Work Pants & Cargo: A Practical Buying Guide
Published 2026-08-25
Trousers take more abuse than almost any other work garment. Specifying the right pair saves money and keeps your team comfortable.
Fabric
- Cotton drill — rugged, breathable, the tradie standard.
- Stretch blends — add mobility for kneeling and climbing.
- Canvas — heavy-duty for the toughest sites.
Practical features
- Cargo pockets — secure phones, knives and tapes.
- Reinforced knees — double-layer or knee-pad pockets for tiling and concreting.
- Tool loops & ruler pockets — keep essentials off the floor.
Fit & sizing
Offer regular and stretch fits with a full size run. A slightly relaxed cut layers better over base layers in winter.
