I’ve never been one for shopping, I can’t stand going to the stores to buy clothes that only last a year. I started buying 1620 products in 2021. Working in the water utility industry: there is a lot of bending, crouching, exposure to chemicals, paint, rough or sharp surfaces. I’ve been very impressed with the durability and over manufacturing of these pants. Seams that sometimes look to start coming undone hold together because of the over engineered extra stitches. When I’ve damaged my pants or other 1620 products, their repairs have been top notch. The uniform blue has been surprisingly resilient to chlorine stains, paint and glue. And the gusset crotch has been a game changer, my previous employer had a uniform service, but the pants were junk they had stitching like slacks which meant half the distribution department was walking around with rip crotch stitching. The fabric stretch and articulation is by far my favorite part of these pants. I never worry about ripping them or having my mobility compromised.
For those that sweat about the price of 1620 workwear. I’ll say this: the customer service team is excellent when dealing with questions or concerns, you are getting a garment that is going to last a decade, maybe longer. Buying a more expensive product keeps you from growing out of your waistline because you don’t want to have to buy a new wardrobe because you got fatter through your career. Close enough looking to slacks that can worn for every occasion.

My only complaint is the pocket configuration for the shop pants. I wish there was more, due to the equipment I have to carry. I have started buying cargo pants from 1620 in the same fabric to meet those needs. But I’d still like to see another pair of pants from 1620 in this same fabric with more pockets that aren’t the cargo style.

FYI for 2025 products: I will say this to the 1620 team, I believe that you may have an issue with quality control on the stitching for the bent loops for the durastretch fabric line of products. And it is a new problem because my older 1620 products that I’ve bought: the shop pants and durastretch cargo pants are holding up well and don’t have the same issue. The newer pants I’ve bought in 2025 are having the same problem with the center stitching of the bent loop which runs vertically and is dual stitched. Either one or both sides of that stitching is coming undone. I’ve already sent one pair to be repaired and I think I have another one from 2025 with the same problem.
I still love the product and the brand but something that may need to be addressed.

Super comfortable and well built. Deep pockets to keep stuff from falling out. Moving in these is easy.

These are great pants for summer time farm work! They are lightweight, dry pretty quick and take a lot of abuse. I now own there pairs and hope to purchase a forth when the wallet allows.

I own two pairs of single knees and one double knee that I use for work everyday. Fantastic pants! Big pockets, strong material the right amount of belt loops, they bend in the right places and look damn good doing it. I've always wanted to try the shop pants for something a little cooler in the summer but man these things are so comfy and stretchy they may just become my everyday pants. Everything these guys make is great and it keeps getting better!

I’ve had these for about a year and they are worn once, often twice a week in the houston outdoor for landscaping. They are great, really durable. Early on they started to pill on the butt area and I was a tad disappointed. After taking to customer service they suggested I use a fabric shaver which totally helped the issue. These are work pants and I want to ear them all the time. Super comfortable even in a Texas summer. And the stretch. Feels like some lululemon stretch. I want to buy more of these
