I don't know about the workwear stuff, but the Dickies double-knee pants are fucking great. They have a slightly baggy fit, and they're thinner than jeans (which comes in handy down here since the heat sticks on you). I don't know about wearing pants with writing on the ass, but the pants themselves are perfect... they're all I wear at work and for skating now. Cheap too... like $17 a pair.
