The Essential Canvas Pant

I work outdoors (trails, rocks, fire, tree falling, etc) and have worn the brown version for years and LOVED them. We switched uniform color this year so I of course came here to get the blue version, and I am super bummed to find that the fit and fabric has changed drastically!! The fabric is comfortably stretchy, but feels noticeably thinner and less durable than the old style. Too tight in the calves (nearly impossible to fit reasonably over my Whites work boots) which makes them look like skinny jeans, and yet the seat is so baggy that I can grab inches on both sides of my hips. Meanwhile, the waist that I used to love because it didn't gap or sag at the back, is sliding down and I have to constantly pull it up and tuck my uniform shirt back in in the back. It feels like the tight fit of the calves is pulling down the waist as I hike/ climb/ crawl over logs, etc. I'll try a smaller size, for benefit of the doubt, but I'm guessing that the calves will not work even if the hips and thighs do. Please please please bring back the old fit!! These new ones are fine for style, but for real/ tough duty outdoor work (which is what Carhartt bills itself on) they're not the deal. Love the pockets though, they're very usable (especially for women's pants). 5'8", 200lbs, bought size 12. Will try 10.

pants are good quality. they run so big that they do not fit. I am always a size 0 but these are more like a size 4.

I really loved them there very comfortable that fit great.

I love how comfortable they are and my phone can go in the side pocket. I also love the red color they are! I love my dark blue ones too! Thank You!

love the pants. will order one more in the future
