I’m retired spend most of my time in my workshop or doing maintenance on outbuildings on our rural property. I really like Dickies Duck Logger pants, but they seem to wear out quickly. I have three pairs that get worn almost constantly in rotation. The oldest pair is now just over two years old and is worn out - I’ve repaired the seam in the crotch once, but now the fabric either side of it is thread bare. My phone has worn trough the bottom of the right front pocket.

Are there similar pants that will last longer, or am I expecting too much?

I’m in Canada.

    I like 5.11 Taclite and ABR pants. The rear slash pockets are bigger and more comfortable. I do have a physical, outdoor job that they stand up to well, but I’m not terribly rough on them.

    I did manage to pop the stitches in the crotch of one pair after several years, but did not rip the fabric itself. 10 minutes with a needle and thread, or a single pass through a sewing machine and they are good as new.
