I seem to have gone over to Carhartt as my choice in pants.  These are very substantial pants for all types of activities.  Work, play, informal outings can be covered with these pants.  The fit is good, the material is strong, and I expect a long life from them.  I purchased several pairs, and have disposed of all my old pants, with the exception of my really good stuff.  (suits and theater clothes, like that)  The price was good, and the shipping was free.  I am a happy camper.
