A Pant for all Occasions

Every time I buy a new pair of slacks they rip or stain or fall into general pieces in no time. It's because I use them for everything indiscriminately. Worn at work. Worn while doing dishes. Worn while doing yard work, going to the beach, taking a hike, doing assorted forms of manual labour. Its all dandy. Pants are made to be worn.

So maybe I should be wearing jeans. But I don't want to wear jeans. I want to wear slacks. They are comfortable and they look awesome. What I want is a durable pair of slacks that still look like slacks.

And don't come at me saying that I should be wearing Dickies, because those are work pants and look like work pants and that's fine, but that's not what I'm asking for. And don't go saying that I should be wearing khakis either. Cause those things are awful.

No. I want durably made (especially in the seaming) slacks. Just a little heavier material and a little more serious thread. That's all. Just think that not everyone is slacks is sitting around at a desk all day. I will be playing in the dirt at some point in my slacks. Just remember that and we'll be fine.
