I have military surplus pants, which I use for work around the yard etc. They are great because they have a relatively elegant appearance, have huge pockets, double knees and do not stain easily.
Unfortunately, they are made of fairly weak material and are starting to fall apart on me.
I am looking for basically similar pants, but made of stronger material.
I am NOT looking for bibs, coveralls, or pants without numerous LARGE pockets.
Any suggestions?
ii'm not sure where you live but you can check out an army surplus type store - you won't get new but the next best thing.
Dickies makes a nice one. Double knees, deep pockets etc.
Dickies logger pants are fair but then you get tree hugging hippies chaining themselves to your ankles.

I agree, but try them on first. Seems their idea of a 34 waist is more like a 32.........
Dockers.
The "Military" has not had a surplus since 1945!
so if your pants are that old then try buy>I have military surplus pants, which I use for work around the yard
I was in a Sunny's Surplus store a few years ago looking for camping equipment for the kids. I noticed they had some East German Army clothing for sale.
They've probably sold out by now. But maybe now they've got surplus Taliban uniforms in stock.

Wally world has those.
Anybody remember when Palley's in Los Angeles had REAL war surplus stuff as late as the 60s?
And for the ladies, appropriate attire for those wet burkha contests!
appearance,
Mil-Sec pants at less than $25 are great.
More expensive are... Carhartt
DanG, I certainly agree with your thoughts on Duluth Trading. I have some indestructable BDU's made of rip stop type material.

I'm pretty sure it's K-Mart that carries Dickies, not Wal-Mart.

Locally, Wal-Mart has Dickies. No idea about K-Mart, they closed all the stores close to me.
