I use to go through 2 pairs of double front carhartts in about 6 months, by the time I hit a year with them they were patched everywhere and I looked homeless.
These pants are worth every penny, and Iām extremely happy that American made still means something! Iv owned a pair of the foundation pants for about 3 months now and they look brand new. I wear these pants everyday, working as a carpenter, running a saw, chopping wood, working on my truck, no matter what I throw at these things they can take it. Normally the section my pants get warn out first is where I hook my knife/tape measure, Iv had zero issues of excessive wear on those spots with these pants.
They are slightly stiff when you first get them but after wearing for around a day and one wash they are perfect.
All that being said buy these pants and support American made!
