Best work pants

Start with the BRUNT Torra Pant — the best all-rounder for a full day on your feet: mid-weight stretch canvas that moves with you, and the strongest owner ratings of the bunch.

Who each other pick suits:

• BRUNT Costello Tech Pant — lighter and stretchier; best if you're moving constantly and want a slimmer, less bulky feel.
• BRUNT Costello HD Tech Pant — same cut with double-layer knees and a water-repellent finish; for kneeling and wet jobs.
• Dickies Loose Fit Double Knee — the classic budget workhorse; roomy, tough, and easy to replace.
• Dickies Original 874 — the neatest-looking option; good for shop floors and office-adjacent work.
• CAT Trademark — kneepad-compatible with articulated knees; for real site work.
• 1620 Double Knee Utility 2.0 — heavy 14 oz fabric for the hardest wear, if you want the most durable pair here.
• Dixxon Canvas Work Pants — stiff, old-school cotton canvas for people who prefer no stretch.
