These work pants are fairly good, and have a useful utility pocket on the leg perfect for a cell phone - but the pocket material does not stand up to the wear and tear from the "stuff" that the average working guy carries in his pockets. If you are calling them workpants make sure that each part of them is made to the same standard of sturdy construction.
When I bought these pants they were a replacement for my "Dickies" workpants but they failed the test of time. The pocket gave out right after the 2 year guarantee gave out. I would not recommend these pants.
The pants look so good and the material seems pretty well put together. HOWEVER the button has fallen off of two pairs of the pants already and they were purchased about a month ago and are only used for dress slacks.
I LOVE the old Roebuck work pants. They were perfect in every way. Unfortunately these new Craftsman brand pants are terrible and NOT a replacement for the Roebucks.
