Carhartt Straight Fit Stretch Duck Pants Brown 31

ordered slim fit, and the label says straight fit, but the product numbers seem to correlate. Maybe it's all the same?I'm 6'4" 200lbs 44'" chest for shape reference.In comparison to the 34/36 slim fit levies I buy...Waist is tighter. Too tight and no stretch.calf material is more voluminous. I'd say a straight cut in any other jean brand.I like feel and color of the material, but there is no discernible stretch, it's like regular ol' canvas.I would think a 36/36 would be baggy as hell on me, from the amount of material in these.I would say, Straight and light in the waist measurement is the accurate description, as they fit like a classic levi 505 non flex straight cut, and not like a levi 514 slim with flex.Not quite what I was hoping for.

Carhartt needs to make a true low rise work pant.

I will not be buying any pants from Carhartt and just sticking with their jackets. I wanted to purchase the 5 pocket canvas work pants, as they now come in a slim fit. What they need to add to the sizing lineup though is a true low waste canvas work pant that fits like their low rise jeans, with only a 7"-8" waist. I do not like the mid to high rise pants, and the ones that claim to be low rise are still quite a high rise such as the Ariat M7 which I am currently wearing since it's as close as I can find, and denim wears too fast for my use. As soon as Carhartt can make a canvas work pant with a true low rise waist, I will switch over 100% of my pants to them.

Good pants

Good pants, nice quality, fit is accurate. Reasonably heavy material should hold up well to heavy yard work. Customer service told me to expect up to 3% shrinkage. Washed and dried them on medium settings. NO shrinkage observed. After 3 wash cycles on hottest water setting and hottest dryer setting the length lost maybe one inch, the waist shrank 1/4 inch, at most. Pockets are big and deep and look like they will hold up to abuse.

Good pants have now been improved.

Years ago I had a pair of these and they weren't my favorite pair of Carhartts. The were a little stiff and heavy compared to the twill-type pair I had. But I really liked the dungaree fit...a higher waist than normal casual pants like jeans...which I find more comfortable, especially as I'm a lean dude (6'1", 170#) and when I wear a tool belt, these pants resist getting pulled down because of the way they fit.I tried these because they are one of the few Carhartts that seem to be available in straight cut (see above re: being lean...more relaxed cuts can look baggy on me) and I figured I'd see if the stretch fabric helped with the stiffness.I've had these a couple weeks and they are great. I still like that dungaree fit and the straight cut is comfortable ... MoreYears ago I had a pair of these and they weren't my favorite pair of Carhartts.

I still like that dungaree fit and the straight cut is comfortable without being baggy. My main prior complaint...the stiffness and heaviness of the duck fabric...is addressed by the current material which still feels tough and durable, but seems a little lighter and definitely more comfortable because of the stretch.

Good pants. Bough a few pairs. Would recommend.

I recently "graduated" up a waist size for the first time in about 20 years, so I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my Carhartt pants. These pants have more tapered fit than the original Carhartt duck work pants that I've had for years, and I like this new fitment a lot. With the exception of the hammer loop and thigh pocket, they can easily pass for regular pants. Don't worry, it is nowhere near "skinny" jeans tight, just slightly more fitted than the old relaxed fit of my older duck pants and they do not restrict movement at all. I just ordered a couple more pairs of these. Wish they had them in grey too. I'm a weekend DIY'er with some acreage to maintain, and these have become my standard weekend pants - traditional Carhartt toughness in a more modern fit. ... MoreI recently "graduated" up a waist size for the first time in about 20 years, so I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my Carhartt pants.

Perfect for going between the workshop and Saturday sports/games with the wife and kids.

Good, rugged pants.

Love the sturdiness of the fabric and the cut of the pants. Definitely need a few runs through a washing machine or something to fix the stiffness, though, because I literally cut my hand on the seam inside my pocket the first time I stuck it in there (and I'm elderly or thin-skinned).I didn't notice the loop on the back when I bought them, and I don't love that design choice, because it kind of knocks them out of the dress category of "business informal" that I might otherwise try to squeeze them into from time to time, but they're good pants.I bought three pairs (three different styles of Carhartt pants) in the same size. The "rugged professional" relaxed fit was perfect at the waist. This one was a little small at the waist. The third (blue jeans) was too ... MoreLove the sturdiness of the fabric and the cut of the pants.

Great fit, feel, and look

Great pants. Heavy duty material with lots of stitching reinforcement. Very comfortable with plenty of flexibility without compromising on durability. I have a slimmer frame and these pants fit just to my liking. I prefer a slimmer fitting pant and these are just what I was looking for. Slightly tighter through the thigh than the relaxed fit but not much. The real difference is below the knee they are much slimmer than the relaxed fit. These fit perfectly over my lace up thorogoods. If wearing slip on boots the leg might be slightly snug on the shaft of the boots and may look a little funny but would still fit over them. Overall very pleased with the pants and the fit. I do order a slightly larger waist than I typically wear in other brands and the length runs ... MoreGreat pants. Heavy duty material with lots of stitching reinforcement.

Pants didn't even last a year. They are worth 35 dollars not 44.

In the beginning I loved these pants. But I have to say, Carhartt is very far from what they used to be. Go figure. In less than 6 months of owning them the fabric thinned and tore above the knee at your quad area. I bought the brown pair 36w 36L and the same size in the black. The black pair was significantly tighter. A common first sign of poor quality is no consistency in sizing. The black pair said 36W 36L but I think they were definitely 34W 36L. A pair of dickies still cost less and last longer than carhartt.Every since the founders kids took over the business they have been cutting cost on materials but their prices don't reflect that for the customer. I would gladly pay 35 dollars for these pants but not 44. Not worth it for a pair of "work pants" that ... MoreIn the beginning I loved these pants.

Testing

I have always liked the appearance of Carhartt pants and have purchased them before. That was probably 10 years ago, those pants were too baggy for me. What I didn't know then is Carhartt make various styles. I needed the slim trim look. None of the local stores in my town carry the Straight Fit Style so I went online. I have purchased three pair recently and love them. You can't go wrong with Carhartt.

ZIpper breaking

Rather unhappy with these pants. I have had two different sets have a tooth break out of the zipper so they are rendered useless. I do work in a rough environment but i have had much cheaper pants stand up much longer. I contacted customer support via the chat function and they wanted to send me a zipper kit, so they expect me to have the ability to completely remove a zipper from my pants and re install a new one. I tried to explain that its not the pull-tab but actual "teeth" that broke out of the zipper tape. I do not own a sewing machine or know how to use one so this solution seems ridiculous. Other options were a 10% discount on a new purchase or send it to them to fix which would take 4-5 weeks once they receive it. Neither of these seem like solutions that ... MoreRather unhappy with these pants. I have had two different sets have a tooth break out of the zipper so they are rendered useless.
