Utility plus comfort

Dickies manufactures a variety of utility pants with different fabric & texture ranging from what feels like hard canvas to very soft denim.These jeans are comfortable blue 100% cotton denim that soften up with use and hold up well in tough conditions. They fit well in the waist & gluts with a relaxed fit in the legs & groin allowing freedom of movement. I have worn Dickies carpenter & Painters pants for years & these pants are true to size unlike some other brands.I bought these jeans for working and they serve that purpose very well. They are not a pair of jeans I would wear for a night out but I have no problem wearing them for general running around. For me the color has only lightened up a little, the way I would expect from cotton after many washes. I do only wash them in cold water and I'm sure that helps. They do as one review mentioned, come out of the dryer wrinkled more that my Levi or Eddie Bauer jeans for the first 5 or so washed but then smooth out about the same.For this price, I don't think you can buy a better pair of utility jeans. If your looking for designer pants with utility pockets, this isn't for you!
