The Essential Canvas Pant

For any woman who has been a loyal carhartt customer for years, the new fit is incredibly disappointing. These no longer fit like work pants and I cannot comfortably wear them at work anymore. Carhartt seems to have abandoned their original customer base in favor of becoming a "fashion" brand. The dark brown original fits were a STANDARD in the outdoor industry for years, bring them back!

I am so disappointed! I have been wearing these pants for years!! I work in the construction field. I ordered a pair last year and they were tight on the ankle and I just figured they were messed up sometimes that happens, no big deal. They aren't my favorite pair because it's hard to get them over my boots. Well this year I ordered 4 more pairs. Was so excited to wear them today and every single pair is tight on the ankle. Will have to look for a new brand I'm so bummed!!! What's a work pant if it doesn't fit over your work boot???? I attached a picture of one it's about 1 1/2" more narrow now.

I'd like to put in a request for *DARK BROWN* as a color option in the canvas rugged flex work pant! I've bought many pairs of these Carhartts over the years. As a landscaper, I appreciate the flexibility, tool pockets, and relative durability (I say relative, because they do wear out after a while, but I haven't found anything better). It's time for me to buy new ones, and I'm getting bored of the current color options. I'd love a dark brown!

The personalized sizing guide recommended a 10 regular for me, which is about the size I normally go for but I ended up ordering a 10 short since I'm quite short. The pants barely fit over my hips, were too tight around my thighs, and were still too long for me. I guess this is a relaxed fit if you're skinny but if you have even the slightest of curves the pants will be too tight because the material only stretches a tiny bit.

More recently the material and wear on these pants are terrible. They are not made to fit a body that is actively working. The pants are too tight in the thigh and crotch but loose in other spots. The thinning of the material is disappointing and tears too easily for the price point. I have to buy another pair to hold me over until I try a different brand. They've absolutely tailored these for women that want to wear carhartt for funsies not for work and its such a missed opportunity and robbery
