Pants quest!
« on: April 03, 2015, 12:44:35 AM »
I'd like some khakis I can wear to work, but with a phone pocket on the side (or somewhere).

I will probably order some of these, although I don't like the cheesy, elastic waistband.

Dickies

Any other suggestions?

I've been wearing some Carhartt 100095 Rugged Work Khakis, but they're uncomfortable, and a tad pricey. Oh, and they only last about a year.

For some reason it's in no way surprising that a thread titled Pant's Quest would be started by fistful.

I was coming here to post that exact statement.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

A Google search for "khakis cell phone pocket"  (without the quotation marks of course) should get you a bit over 2,200,000 hits.  That ought to keep you busy for a while.

Eliminate "relaxed fit" if you do not like the elastic waist feature.

stay safe.

Dickies I have looked at have had ridiculously small pockets.  As in, I have trouble getting my hand in the back pocket.

Here you are. I think I've included everything required for a recommendation from this forum aside from the snark.

Ok, I provided some of that, too.

Makattak, those look pretty good and the price is right.  Unfortunately, they don't have my size (34x32). :(

They have 34x34 and 32x32, but I don't think my legs are going to grow any longer, nor am I going to be able to lose enough weight to fit into a 32w again (last time was 23 years and 30lbs ago).

It's an old skill, but you CAN still hem pants. :P

One should always wear tactical pants. Galls and Proppers are good, inexpensive brands.

Why bother, I can find pants that fit elsewhere.

I did find another manufacturer by doing that. Thanks. It seems the phone khakis are in the category of work uniform pants, rather than standard, office work khakis. I guess the cubicle-dwellers don't carry much in their pockets. The guy who works next to me every day actually comes in, and puts his wallet and phone on the desk. He leaves them there all day. I don't even do that at home.

Side pocket carry has really been working well for me, for one thing. Besides that I don't want extra stuff on the belt. And I don't want extra help looking dorky.  :P

I need new pants, anyway. The old Carhartts and Columbias are wearing out.

I put my phone, keys, knife, and wallet in my toolbox.

Less chance of loosing them while in a hellhole of a machine.
