I will always keep at least a pair of 874s, and then another as cutoffs for bicycle rides. But. Carhartt b01s are my preferred pant (until 65 + degrees). I like the duck/cut/made in usa.
In general, carhartt stuff lasts a lot longer for me, and is often manufactured somewhat closer to where I live. I wear way too much carhartt and have basically manifested a blue collar life…if wearing the clothes for work, the wash machine is the enemy. The less you can wash, the long the b01s last. It’s dramatic. I’ve looked at some of those work wear companies (1620), and….shit just looks a little too precious/perfect for the brewery/the type of person that’s gonna talk about their ‘edc’.
I am this shallow.
