Dickies’ Duck Carpenter Pants Get Better With Age

Welcome to Talking Points, a series that looks at what makes certain products worth talking about, brought to you by Gear Patrol Studios.

There’s a reason why the Dickies Relaxed Fit Heavyweight Duck Carpenter Pants have almost 3,000 five-star reviews: They make a hard day of work a little easier. While they won’t do your job for you, they’re not going to get in your way, and they just might be the last pair of pants you’ll ever need.

They’re durable enough to handle the toughest tasks, but their fabric actually breaks in over time, meaning they stay tough while they get softer. And that sounds a lot like magic to us.

The Backstory

Dickies: Built to Last

With more than 100 years of workwear experience under their toolbelt, Dickies knows what works. Since 1922, they’ve been dedicated to doing right by the hard-working people that rely on them for durable, high-quality styles. Duck canvas — with its solid construction, weather resistance, and classic look — has always been heavy in rotation throughout Dickies’ product line.

Today, duck canvas is featured in Dickies’ workwear essentials, outdoor styles, and in their premium wax-coated silhouettes. It’s the fabric of choice for those who don’t quit, compromise, or make excuses.

The Gist

What Makes the Duck Carpenter Pants So Great?

For starters, the Relaxed Fit Heavyweight Duck Carpenter Pants are made from Duck Canvas, which is a 100 percent cotton fiber. Dickies has worked with Duck Canvas for years because the material offers natural weather protection, plus wind and water resistance. The material holds up to abrasion day after day due to a tight weave, and reinforced seams and brass rivets at stress points mean they won’t rip.

Not only are these pants beefy enough for any job site, they’re comfortable too. The relaxed fit offers a little extra room in the seat and thighs, and they can easily fit over boots. The two tool pockets and a hammer loop offer places to store your tools, and the garment-washed fabric makes them extra soft (and shrink-resistant) so you can wear them for years to come.

They’re also available in a wide range of colors. With everything from rinsed black to ‘mushroom’ to moss green, there’s a pair for everyone.

Our POV

The Duck Carpenter Pants Are The Only Ones You’ll Need

The best work pants are the ones you never have to think about. They should be comfortable — helpful even — and built to hold up during hard work without ripping or tearing. Dickies’ Duck Carpenter pants do just that, and that’s why they’ll stay in your closet for years to come.

As an added bonus, as the pants break in over time, they’ll gain both a more tailored fit and a little bit of character through a unique patina. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more comfortable, durable pair of pants.

But don’t just take our word for it. Dickies’ brand ambassador Mark Carter was raised on a family ranch in Ten Sleep, Wyoming. Now, after years of herding cattle and hunting, Dickies is the work pant brand he’s come to trust more than ever.

So saddle up for every errand with the Duck Carpenter Pants. You won’t regret it.
