I like the fit of these better than the traditional "duck" pants Carhartt makes, which I also love. I just like the way these don't ride all the way to my belly button like the regular duck pants. These don't have the hammer loop either, which is nice for me. I just want the pockets. I will be buying the other colors now. These should last a very long time like the other duck pants; 10 years or so for me. I actually just donated a pair that had basically no dye left. they were painter-white. I could have kept wearing them really, but I figured I could donate them. Cool story huh?
