Khaki carpenter pants
 

So with my job as a network engineer i have a unique need for khaki carpenter pants. I could probably get a pass on the dress code but i do enjoy looking good when dealing with management and just being around the office. I carry two phones and a flashlight at all times. I also have keys and my personal effects etc. This load makes my regular khakis uncomfortable so if i can find some khaki carpenter pants and get the flashlight into a side pocket that will help. I prefer lite color (most clothiers call them stone) but i am also open to regular khaki color. So does anyone know of a company that makes khaki carpenter pants?

I have six pair of Wrangler denim carpenters and I think they make them in Khaki.

Carhart, 5.11, and my personal favorite -- Columbia.

The work pants I wear are khaki in color.
Riggs,quite comfy and bomb proof.
I'm very impressed with them:wavey:

Fellow network engineer here. I do enjoy that we get to stretch the dress code a little bit. Would not be the best idea crawling around under desks and in dirty server rooms with dress pants on.

All you slack wearers :tongueout:

Like said above Wrangler makes them. I have a pair as well as many of their denim versions.
All available from Walmart.

I got grunts to do most of the dirty work but I do have to crawl around in the server farm for the more advanced stuff that I dont trust to grunts! :supergrin: Nothing a little washin by the fiance wont fix though! :whistling:

Anyway, thanks for the info guys! I like the riggs and wranglers but it doesnt look like the wranglers are available in carpenter from the site or store and I cant find the riggs stuff either. I think im going with the duluths! They got the extra ball room and LAWD knows I needs that! :rofl:

+1 on Duluth trading. Pay once, cry once. Sturdy as heck, almost as sturdy as Filson but at half the price.

i keep seeing the term "carpenter" pants/shorts and yet in all my years working around carpenters i've never met a single one that would wear the things. every carpenter i've ever met has an actual tool belt for when they need to carry tools.

Carhardt...
I have several, the most comfortable pants I've owned.

Well Im not going to wear a tool belt to carry my flashlight and cell phones! :rofl:

I think the term "carpenter pant's" means the trouser will have a hammer loop made of denim and a pocket for a wooden rule...
Back in the day, on a union job, a carpenter had to wear striped carpenter overalls..No "scab belts" allowed...:faint:

Come on
 

You know you want to wear a tool belt and call yourself Batman!!

I would go with 5.11. They are comfortable, durable and have a crazy amount of uses without having the BDU look.

5.11 TacLitePro pants. Ridiculously comfortable. Get in Khaki or coyote brown color.

These are well made and I like them.

Menard's carries Riggs if you have one.

Wrangler

Riggs Work Wear Ranger Pants.

They come in Brown, Khaki, and Dark Green. All sport a nice leather protection tab for knife/whatever clips. Typically found under $35. I have not worn a pair out yet. I'm going on two seasons with 5 pair worn for roof inspections.

Mountain Khakis Alpine Utility Pants. They are expensive but are bulletproof, look good, and they are incredibly comfortable.

I have a few pair of these:

I bought a couple of pair of cargo pants from Target that were pretty decent.

The best cargo pants I have found were from Carhart but I can't find them anywhere anymore. There used to be a store in Seneca that sold Carhart and Wolverine factory seconds. I loved that place.

I believe Academy Sports carries Carhart and Columbia
