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.
