People are recommending good European brands

which you should definitely check out!

but I'd like to also recommend buying second-hand.

It's cheaper, better for the environment, and you don't have to worry about supporting American companies; Even if you buy from an American brand (Wrangler, Levi's...), the money is going straight to a fellow European citizen and to whatever platform/website you buy it from, so you just have to make sure to use a European platform such as Vinted.

It might not be as convenient as buying straight from the brand, but it is better.

I can never recommend the tactical jeans from Varusteleka enough (Finnish store, jeans made in Estonia)

https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/varusteleka-tactical-jeans/58865

Imagine jeans, with almost cargo pants level of capacity, that still look like normal jeans. The extra side pockets are fantastic for phone on one side and wallet on the other.

They're also nice and stretchy, and they have lasted me years of almost daily use.

They ain't that cheap though.

Varusteleka

Finish army shop that sells also some jeans and cargo pants. Rather regular and wide cut. The online is worth the visit, if you need anything or not.

Nudie Jeans

MR MARVIS, a Dutch company that produces in Portugal. https://www.mrmarvis.com/de

They also have shirts and jackets. If you live in Düsseldorf, Hamburg or Munich you can visit their stores locally.

You can always go with http://grundstoff.net/ to find new brands.

If it comes to jeans, you might want to check out Varusteleka's jeans.

I know polish brands Agrest, very good climbing trousers. We (I'm involved in production) made it in Krakow in small manufacture. As climbing clothes they HAVE TO be comfortable and abrasion resistant.

It sounds like advertise, but I trully recomend it.

There is also brand Pakker but I don't know much about them.

GARDEUR:
A traditional German company. It was Germany's first pants brand in 1969.
Delivery is only to Germany and the Netherlands.
According to wikipedia “the only pants supplier in the industry that combines all development steps in the company - from the design to the finished pair of pants”.

Good quality, wearable for years, price-performance ratio okay.

There are many local retailers in Germany and the Netherlands. Ideally, try them on for the first time on site, as the cut is very close to the figure. But then the right size really does fit perfectly.

I can recommend Asphalte from France. https://www.asphalte.com/ Gotta bring some patience when ordering though. They collect orders and only produce those with a small overhead to cover returns, to avoid overproduction. Their style focuses on timeless stuff in good quality as to avoid trends. You can't always order all their products, but some 'eternals' are always available to order (still have to wait until the next production cycle though). Now would be a good time to order summer clothing. My personal favorite are their sneakers as they look good and are very comfy and sturdy.

I have sweatpants from Trigema that are pretty good. I've also seen the jeans from Varusteleka (Finnish, made in EU) being recommended a few times, though I haven't bought any yet.

Salsa and Tiffosi. These two brands are Portuguese and sell mostly jeans, but maybe check them out, they may have something for you.

Lion of Porches is also Portuguese, they have trousers.

For dressier pants "#menswear": Berg&Berg (buy only on 40%-50% off), Poszetka.com (suits are Chinese but rest should be PL), PT Torino, Zanella, Rota Pantaloni

There's also Benevento for custom but they have a bad reputation of fulfilling orders for months

Most brands have their own webshops. I've always bought Cars jeans, Dutch AFAIK, but recently bought a pair of Kuyichi jeans, who are also Dutch. Though never online. I always buy in store. Not sure if their own webshops ship to Germany, but I'm sure there are some shops in Germany that do. Of course, there's also C&A and ArmedAngels that have their own webshops, who are both German.

Tom Tailor is amazing! German Brand with seat in Hamburg.

Their jeans are really great, though double price than C&A

But durable and comfortable

LTB jeans were always a good affordable choice IMO.

pants or trousers?
