Yeah sadly streetwear/cyberwear just didn't work for those of us of the thick persuasion
Workwear cargo trousers are worth their weight in cordura (the heavier the material, the less likely they are to fall apart like cheap scamazon gahbage)
And they come in people sizes cause we built.
Yeah I live in workwear but they are definitely getting weaker, last pair I got ripped in 2 months x-x
Oh dont get me started on how enshittification has hit clothing these days. I tried to get a pair from a brand I'd seen someone at work in, but because the company got bought out, they were made pf the thinnest material I've seen, every stitch had a long thread coming out of it somewhere. They went straight to the charity shop cause scamazon wont take them back
Yeah it's horrible. I used to be able to get at least a year out of a pair (I wear them every day and do a lot of physical work that really tears them up) and now like I said the last two had crotch rips within two months. It also felt like they changed the cut of them as well. I dug out an older pair to substitute in my rotation and it was waaaaay roomier than the new pair and still the same size
Not to sound like a shill but Scruffs are pretty solid, have been using them in a rough environment for a few years without them collapsing (they have a reinforced patch in the crotch to boot)
✊ The struggle is real.
