I bought these pants as I wanted some sturdy, khaki work pants without the big bellows pockets that you get with cargo pants.  I think we all agree  by now that those are not very practical.  These pants have a couple of small, well thought out pockets.  They hold my phone perfectly, and my sunglasses case.  The pants are strong, but light and roomy, like painters pants.  I wouldn't try to do masonry or firewood with these pants, but they are great for "lighter" labor.
  I gave them four stars and not five, because unlike every other Carhartt product, these pants are sized about right.  I love Carhartts, and buy a lot of their stuff.  Usually Carhartt runs large, sometimes very large.  So with that in mind I bought 36s, and I am like a 35.  But they are a bit snugger than I like my work pants to be.  All of my other work pants (Columbia, Tru-Spec, 5.11) are 36, and fit fine.  Perhaps they will stretch a bit, but I found this to be an unusual exception to the Carhartt size "rule-of-thumb".
  But very happy with them in ever other aspect.
