The Essential Ashland-Canvas-Hose

I recommend this pant. I have a lifelong history of challenges of finding tailored, non-binary-in-style, and great-fitting pants for my female body. Over the years, clothing companies have not made slacks I like in my size which varies from about 16-22, depending on which decade. It is as if clothing companies think women above 18 want something of a frou-frou design. I have worn men's pants, including Carhartt styles, but the last I ordered were cut too low on the fanny area. I reluctantly experimented with Carhartt's women's Ashland pant, and for the most part, love it. Not too high or too low on the hip. Great around the waist and the length. Great texture and comfort. Wonderful color. And well-designed pockets and carpenter loops. My only concern with fit is that the legs are more tapered than I like, and the pant legs are snugger around the knees and lower leg than I like. But I am growing used to them. Another concern is the price is higher than for the men's pants from Carhartt.

I've been buying these or the prior versions for 5+ years about 7-8 pairs per year. Last fall I bought 2 pairs and loved them. The fabric was flexible and allowed me to bend and move as I needed to. The pants I recently purchased at the end of March are a different story. The fabric is not flexible, not durable, and the fit is completely different. The high quality I had come to expect was not there. With the price increase I will probably be looking elsewhere for work pants from now on.

Great durable pants & fabric very comfortable

These are great pants. The fabric is strong and comfortable, and the fit is just right. I loved them so much that I ordered 2 more pair online. I'm proud to be the "I can fix anything" lady, so I don't mind advertising it with all the utility pockets, and the hammer hold. I am woman, hear me roar...

Best fitting work pants I've found. I'm curved and they don't poke out in the back waist band when I bend over
