Truewerk work pants

[Jamie]

I have tried quite a few different kinds of work wear over the years for both paint work and other stuff like yard work, cutting firewood, etc. The Truewerk T2 work pants are probably the most comfortable, best quality I have tried. Designed well, the fit is good, they won't ever shrink and they deflect briars as well as anything else that isn't an actual brush pant. If these came in white with pockets for slide in knee pads like my Carhart's, I would be wearing them for paint work, too. High quality garment by every metric that matters to me. I have two pair now, and will probably get another.

Do you order them similarly to jeans for sizing or?

The inseam seemed very long to me. In jeans, Dockers, etc., I am almost always a 34/34 sometimes a 36/34. The first pair I ordered with the 34" inseam since I'd rather them be too long than too short, and they are a little too long, even with boots on. Second pair I got 34/32 and they fit me perfect. I'm 6'1", 195lbs.

Bought two pair a couple weeks ago. So far they are as good as advertised. Will see how long they hold up. Unbelievably comfortable.

 

[Quantum673]

Mine fit same as jeans sizing wise.

I’ve been looking at them for a while better than Duluth?

Yes. I have a Duluth shop apron that I love, but their pants, not so much.

 

[Quantum673]

Hasn’t been long. So far though I am impressed. I have had a couple soggy jobs and they have been nice and dry. Also have been impressed with the fact that they aren’t too warm or too cold. Wind resistant as well. Been working up in the barn building the living quarters and have very pleased with the movement and pocket configuration.

How stain resistant are they? Seems like mulch dye, dirt ground into the knees, or grease/oils from working in the shop are my biggest issues. Just buy $10 pants and replace often has been my method of combating it.

 

[Quantum673]

Haven’t given them the full test yet as I haven’t had a chance to wrench on anything yet. I will say that the red clay rinsed right off.

That does give fabric a workout

After seeing myself in pics this weekend I understand why my wife wants to get me some new pants and shirts. What inseam you go with @Quantum673

Anyone try the summer pants yet?

 

[Quantum673]

30” in seam is what I went with. 29 would have been better.

If by summer pants you mean the T1 lighter weight fabric, yes. I got a pair because those come in white so I can wear them while I'm doing paying jobs. They are super comfortable. The four way stretch fabric and articulated knees make them much less constricting than cotton pants of any sort. They breath well when you are sweating and dry fast if they get wet. If these came with knee pockets for slide in knee pads, they would be the absolute perfect painter pant for warm weather work. I wish the T2 came in white. I have worn practically nothing other than Truewerk pants for over a month for anything and these are money well spent. Love them for everything.

Work pants for the job site or leisure? Why not both. Stay cool and in the flow with our lightest-weight stretch work pants. The high airflow fabric and athletic fit make these our most comfortable pants. Store your phone and carpenter's pencil with thoughtful pockets.

Is there a law that says painters HAVE to wear white?

 

[Jamie]

Yes, it is OSHA enforced federal law. Professional painters and drywallers wear whites. Hacks, most Mexicans, handymen, and DIYers where whatever they have when they are painting.

The T1 bibs came with knee pads. They took forever to arrive, but they arrived today. With the high temps for next week I couldn't be any happier right now that they're here.

I will also add that the only reason I spent that kind of money is because of the warranty. If they last a year, they'll be worth every penny spent. If they don't, I guess they can send me as many pairs as needed.
