I stocked up on the Carhartt logger jeans a couple years ago as well. I then realized that I had better not put on any weight and out grow them! So far so good, have a few pairs left. I don't know what to try when they are gone, that's all I have ever worn.

There is really nothing that comes close out there. Prison blues are far too tight on my legs and the pockets are about one knuckle deep, key jeans are just an odd fit and the other carhartt washed dungarees that look like the traditional loggers are baggy like they should be worn in South LA.

Also gone are Lee Rider 100% cotton jeans and Woolrich Wool Halibut jackets.

Wore whatever uniform was required at most shops, on my own always wore Carpenter style Blue or Black jeans as needed the pockets, NOTHING on hands or arms, long sleeve shirts or coveralls always rolled Farmer Short Sleeve style halfway up forearms. Saw all too many morons caught a ring or watch band on something sharp, lucky for most NOT to lose a finger or bleed out from the wounds, Batteries and Wedding bands are BAD JUJU!! Would only wear T-shirt or Short Sleeve around Lathe or Mill, ALWAYS Tucked in shirt around them as did NOT want dragged in and saw that as well.

I gave up on Carhartt log time ago when they went to being made in China. Bought two pairs exact same dimensions. got home and one appeared to have a 60" waist and 22" inseam. The other had what appeared to be a 30" waist and a 40" inseam. I am still running Prison Blues, same fit everytime and, they are local. I do miss the old style when their front pockets were made from hickory cloth. I also liked their original slogan "made by hard men on the inside for hard men on the outside." their other slogan I liked was; "made for men who wear out their cloths from the inside out."
I guess I'm just a sucker for good marketing slogans.

I was having pretty good luck with the Madsen's jeans that are/were made by big bills. Since the plandemic Madsen's wasn't getting them in so I bought some big bill jeans from the local saw shop and one pair fits right and the other shrinks every time they are washed. Maybe Madsen's will start getting them in again

I wouldn't hold my breath on Madsen's getting any better than they were, Sam sold the company about 4 or 5 months ago.

That sucks.
I was in Madsens about a month ago and the only single front with suspender buttons were Keys and they were 25 bucks.
They are close to the Madsens pants.
As far as Big Bills flannel shirts go they are junk, some came apart on the first wash before they were worn.

The new owner was a guy that Sam had hired to manage the store 5 or 6 years ago. He is taking it in a direction away from its history and and I have quit doing business there because I don't believe in his ideas or values.

I have been looking, an odd one for sure with suicide doors.
It would be a 1933 to 1935 Dodge Brothers, as of August 1935 the name was shortened to Dodge.
Only years with those doors.
