A very sturdy and stain-resistant pair of pants. I work in a fast-paced chain restaurant and used to buy the George pants from Walmart. I would have to go every two or three months for a new pair. When I put this pair of Dickies on I knew that they would last me much longer. The waist band is firm and allows the belt to lay flat even with the "pudge" on my waist. Highly recommended for individuals who work in restaurants, fast-paced, labor intensive or service environments.
