Tilley Tuff Utility pants

Three and a half years ago I was on site that had casual Fridays. Not having an Hawaii shirt I observed the day by wearing pajamas instead. Life changing, instead of being a fashionista in over priced cardboard Carharts, I was comfortable. On my next birthday I decided to introduce and honor pajama Thursdays. I'm now up to pajama Tuesday. My last year working will be PJs everyday to ease me into retirement.
 
I don't have any Carhart pants but plenty of jackets and overalls. My biggest beef is not having a great Canadian supplier for Carhart. I did recently find one place that's fairly local, before that I had been using a place in Michigan.

I like Marks pants for wear and price but I find marks has gotten away from work clothes
 
Peavey Mart used to carry Carhart. But those days are over. You can often find them at great prices at farm supply places though.
We never had great options up here, and I never knew why. The jackets I purchased in Michigan this spring, was told by a Canadian dealer they likely couldn't get them, if I wanted to replace them. My older long Johns were purchased in Syracuse Ny, and that's going back a dozen years now
