James_w12345 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi PWs, is there anywhere out there that any knows of that I can get some cheap and hardwearing trousers for rough work (strimming, pen building etc) that will stand up to wear. Ideally in bristol or south wales. Also, if anyone knows of any that come in 35 or 36 inch inside leg, that would be amazing! (I had some great soldier 95 trousers, but no more) Thanks in advance!

billytheghillie Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) I bought a pair of workies trousers from Screwfix, black and grey colour. cant remember price but they were not expensive, they have pockets in knees so you can put knee pads in them. To date they seem good trousers, check them out the make of them was Site £25. Edited July 23, 2014 by billytheghillie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Kelly Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I've been using motion trousers from Englebert Strauss for a few years now and find them very good. Long lasting with some useful pocket features. I'm a plumber so they get some hard use. http://www.engelbert-strauss.co.uk/Work-_Safetywear/Trousers/Work_Trousers/Trousers/Trousers_e_s_motion-3310540-65301-364-641.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_w12345 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Got some Dickies Combat trousers, 36" waist, no other measurements given. tried them on as they were only £15 quid, and they fitted fine. They are black so will br pretty warm in this heat, but for that money, you cant complain! (even though I probably will!) Will see how we get on, thanks guys!
