Carhartt Women's The Essential Canvas Double-Front Pant

I like the appearance, durability, quality, functionality. I do serious work on my house. I have worked construction and wish these pants were available then. Knee pads are a great idea! I wear them when I'm not working too. I love the size choices and fit. Size 6 fits me.

This is the second pair I bought for work. These are so sturdy and well made and comfortable. My job requires lots of bending and kneeling and lifting. They are comfortable at work, and the double knee thickness has saved my knees. The outermost layer has not worn through, either.

I've worn Carhartt pants for years, but the recent changes to the fabric and sizing are noticeable. The material feels thinner and less structured than before, and the fit is no longer consistent. The first day I wore a pair of the newer style pants to work, they felt unusually loose-more like pajama pants than workwear. They were also significantly longer than expected, to the point that I was stepping on the pant legs. I had to stop working and go double-check the size I was wearing because my Carhartt's have always fit consistently in the past and I thought I had ordered the wrong size. I reordered the same pant model and size I've been wearing for the past four years, and there was no disclaimer or notice from Carhartt about any changes to the fabric or sizing. I ended up rolling the cuffs just to get through the day and returned them immediately after work. The lack of consistency in sizing and the unannounced changes make them difficult to rely on compared to previous versions of the same style pant.

Being Carhartt was expecting more durable material but these are more like cheap spandex material. Do you sell women's pants in the old jeans material anymore?
