I have been wearing scruffs work trousers. They have the additional 'flappy' pockets and knee pads holders where the knee pad slots in from the top.
The problem is the scruffs trousers dont last very well. On one pair the stitching for a pocket has come apart and also the knee pad pocket wears out too quick.

My wholesalers has some by another make which I can't remember who but at 60 quid a pair.

Anyone got any recommendations
 
I have tuff stuff ones, and recently got snickers. Definitely prefer the snickers, though 3x the price, they feel comfier, the pockets are better shaped, and the way the knee pads go in is a better design.
 
£9.99 cargo pants from ebay for me. they wear out, they get binned. a pair usually lasts me 3-4 months and they don't weigh me down.
 
I've got one SITE heavy pair that keep falling down low even with a belt - must be my slender hips! I prefer no flappies but a tool belt/pouch instead.
 
Snickers rough wear, had a pair for two years now and still going strong. They also allow the floorlayers knee pads, so I'm good on my knees(cheeky).
 
all this techno stuff about a bloody pair of strides. just go for what is comfortable, but make sure you buy the ones that come with 2 legs, unless you are long john silver.
 
summer wear type.

cheaper the better, ive got a few dewalt pairs still going strong, but look worn and dirty even after a wash, but at £40 plus i cant justify buying three or four a year, i get the cheap ones now at £19, and change them every three or four months as i look better in my opinion.
 
snickers duratwill are my choice had a couple of pairs over the years although pricey.I also purchased a pair of black dewalt trousers as a spare pair as they were only £20 in Costco Decent for the price
