Just ordered myself a couple of pairs of these. You can wade through brambles in these, no problems.

I’ve tried loads of different trousers, Deerhunter , swedeteam , seeland , the only ones I haven’t tried are Harkila , but then I wouldn’t pay that much . But Since I found Carhartt I won’t get anything else now . Barbed wire, brambles, gorse, nothing bothers them . The terrierman with our local pack put me on to them . He went to the states to judge a terrier show and went out with some “good ol boys” and they all wear it . He came back with a jacket and dungarees lasted him years. And in his job that is something!

They sound great for Mouching around, after the rabbits,...just ordered a pair of Moss Green Trousers ...

Many thanks for the heads up lads...

Let us know what you think of them Phil, I'm due some new trousers and they look just the job.

Got one of these. All I can say is, limit the washing of it, they fade quickly and if you're using it for work, they wear on the upper cuff too.

Got mine off a mate, he bought it as a medium, it fits me and I'm a large/Xlarge. Fat yank sizes me thinks.

What's it like out in rain ? If it's pissing down I'll wear waterproofs but does this suck in water like a sponge in the occasional shower

Don't really use it in the rain, but the weave is tight, so I'd imagine it'd give you some protection.

Those double fronted trousers have a fair bit of rain protection. I have 8 pairs of the trousers from the new to the trampy look  . Seriously they are the best for mooching, even my knackered ones still protect me against thorns.

Nikwax is really good on the duck cotton for rain repellency.
