best work trousers

[adamunited]

After trying out several different pairs of work trousers another lad recommended Snickers Floorlaying trousers. At £75 a pair they are expensive but i have to say worth every penny. i used to have problems with my knees but since using these i have had no problems. does anyone know where the best place ie cheapest place is to get some more or can anyone recommend any they may have used?

Im just about to splash out on some of those. Ive heard good things and again by yourself !

I've always rated these bosch trousers, but I think they've changed the material/design now

I've always had blaklader trousers and was happy with them even though they are quite expensive, recently I bought a pair of scruffs (wickes sell them) and they are much better than the blaklader ones, better knee pad pockets, comfy and so far, wearing well.

I get 2 pairs of Blåklåder free every year from my main wholesaler flisekompaniet, plus 2 nice hoodies (innit), 2 sweaters and 2 t-shirts all Blåklåder gear but i wouldn't pay full whack for them if I had to, think they go for £80ish same as Snickers. I have recently bought a pair of pirate shorts with knee pad pockets for £15 for the summer and a pair of camouflage work trousers for £30 from mine and Swedish Mikes favourite shop Jula. No way I'd throw £80 at a pair of strides that'll be covered in glue, grout, silicone and screed pretty soon after walking on site.

Are George still doing jeans for a fiver.............

Best trousers I've had and still wear are the scruffs ones. £45 in screwfix and they are hard wearing, plenty of pockets loops etc for tools phones etc and the knee pad pockets are good too.

£3 Primark jeans and a £1 foam kneeling matt from a bootsale.

Don't buy Dewalt work trousers. I now have to wear black underpants/shorts because the 3 pairs of trousers I have are all split in the crotch area. Great ventilation in the Summer!! Do you find that some trousers have too many pockets - very frustrating when i'm looking for my car keys.

that's one of the reasons I hardly ever answer my phone when I'm at work! by the time I've put down a tile, trowel etc and hunted about in the pockets, it's always rung off:lol:

I've been using the Panoply Mach 3 trousers for some time now but after about 6 months, the crotch goes on them so going to move onto the Baratec. Very similar in design but has triple stitching at the crotch.

still using the same work pants from 3 years ago!

Snickers are by far the best, but too expensive for our trade, I only wear my clean one's on day 1 - then it's a change into my £5 jeans.

for my carpentry etc i use snickers but for tiling i only use dunnes finest. 8 euro and last years. im in the market for cheap ones for tiling as they get distroyed in addy.
i hate all the pockets too. i have a habit of putting my pencils etc in my pocket,on the snickers you could have one in each pocket.


i usually just keep an eye out in local hardware stores for offers and sales. sometimes they have 25 %off. 50 %on odd sizes too

my bosch one's, the first pair I got, are still going strong after 5 years, I've got 5 pairs now so all being well I should be okay for rest of my working life....oh price are about £40

 

[peteablard]

Snickers have always been my first choice but currently got a pair of scruffs which aren't too bad. Not quite as comfortable but still get a

Doug, do you use kneepads over the trousers, or in pocket kneepads?

I cannot use strap on kneepads, so use the snickers floorlayers trousers. The last ones I bought were the new design of these and lasted no-where near as long as the previous ones.
They're not cheap but the old ones lasted well so were worth it, With these new ones now I'm not so sure, so watching this with interest

Looking at Timeless Johns pic I'm trying to work out if his knee pads are meant to be inside or out... :s
