we use them, the pants are comfortable but the thighs wear fast. If I were paying for them I wouldn't be wearing them.

I tried Cintas but they dropped me because I’m a 1 man operation and it wasn’t worth their while and that’s when I got Unifirst. Pretty much the same clothes.

I don't know what brand of pants I wore today, but they came off and got left out in the rain after I got home. I'll take a garden hose to them in the daylight tomorrow. !@#$#%!#### Clay!

I am living that one too, right now. Can't throw it far enough away to stop it's migration back to the hole and when you do throw it... it won't come out of the bucket.

I gotta put it all back, get it compacted, and it is raining 3/4" Monday-Tuesday.

I’ve tried hard to break these work pants over the last 4 years and failed miserably. Not much help on the other side of the Pond but maybe they’re available on mail order.
Their work boot socks are top banana as well.....

What no one has mentioned that they wear Levi Cotton Dockers with elastic waste band. If needed plug your ears at the end.

Bailey's logger jeans. "Wild ass" brand. USA (prison) made. Unwashed, unshrunk thanks to EPA so be careful or you will become a Smurf if you get wet first few wearing. Available with double front.
Tractor supply had a knockoff of 511 cargo and I got my son a pair and he loves them.

Totally forgot about Prison Blues and Wild Ass. Made on the inside to be worn on the outside! Down there in the Oreygon Territory.

Key double front loggers with the buttons for spenders.
I used to buy wear the carharts for years, but they bust out the crotch when climbing up onto equipment and the pockets wear out fast to. The foot openings are to big, so they tend to drag over the edge of my heel and would always be muddy and wear through the hemmed edge.
The Keys are much softer, fit nicer, and last MUCH LONGER. They are half the price. Around here on sale they will range $25-30 a pair. The boot end fits nice over a pair of steel toes and are not so big that I end up walking on the back edges either. They stay up and out of the mud without having to be cut off.
I tried and liked the Madsens house brand of pants, but the pocket openings were small and not very deep. The pockets were cut open at a steep and straight angle so saw chips stayed out of my pockets, but the pockets were just to small for my fat hands.

Cant go wrong with some Wrangler work jeans.

Red Cap makes a good work shirt, I dropped the uniform company years ago and purchase the shirts directly. I wear the Carhartt Black Double Knee, I think the Carhartts are inconsistent in their fit, and wish they came with suspender buttons. In the summer I switch to Dickies Blue, or Black double knee. I have tried the Duluth pants and all the pockets anoy me, and they are heavy and gravity tries to pull them off.
