Pant for Business Casual

[Marshfly]

Not sure its has to do with mountain west as much as your employer.

I live in Missoula and day trade for a living. I'm referencing what I see people wear out and about that actually do have real jobs. Missoula is pretty damn laid back considering dress code.

Another vote for Kuhl. I originally bought a pair for business casual meetings then ended up with a closet full. I wear Kuhl 99.5% of the time.

Duluth 5 pocket if wearing boots. Old Navy built-in tech chinos if wearing dress casual shoes. Both can be found for under $50

I wear Kuiu attacks to work lol, (well the one pair that i can afford anyway)

But also check out Duluth Trading's pants, i have some alaskan hardgear pants that are just as at home in the office enviroment as they are in the field, makes it easy not to have to change after work to go hike or hunt etc. (until i inevitably get a stain on them anyway lol)

My favorite are the Badlands Scree pants. Similar to my Sitka and Kuhl pants but the fabric is more stretchy and less...loud?

I’ve had horrible luck with the wrangler pants, they don’t last anytime at all before the stitching starts to come out of them.

I agree with this. And the Wranglers started pilling almost immediately.
In comparison, the EB Guide Pros are a way better quality pant. I wouldn't pay full price for them, though.

Eddie Bauer always has sales. I love their Freedry t-shirts and cotton blend t-shirts. Damn near all I wear.
Also their down punches way above the price. Especially on sale.

Free Fly Nomad pants, like golf pants. I pretty much wear those and either a vented fishing shirt or light(dont know the name) golf style shirt and boots to my office every day. These pants stretch and last.

Ask our government, They just declared this business casual, for real !

 

[Kilboars]

Kuhl has a few different models that are as good on the mountain as in the office. I personally like the Relaxed Rydr's as I have big thighs.

What he said.

They are my go to for shorts and pants.

Lululemon has great looking poly short sleeve shirts as well.

Target or Fabletics golf pants if more business, Wranglers if more casual.

I’ve been trying my best to wear American made clothes. Diamond gusset has two nice colors for 5-pocket jeans that I get away with wearing in my office.

These can usually be had for $35. I’m a fan, but the sizes are screwy so go somewhere you can try them on.

Really? ... Really?

At Rex Kwon Do, we use the buddy system. No more flying solo. You need somebody watching your back at all times. Second off, you're gonna learn to discipline your image. You think I got where I am today because I dressed like Peter Pan over here?

....Look at what I'm wearing, people! You think anybody wants a round-house kick to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys??

If you want to splurge a bit, then the fit, quality and details in Incotex products are pretty hard to beat. I try to snag them at seasonal sales, since MSRP can get pretty eye-watering.



My oldest pair is from 2014 and it’s still holding up despite being heavily used for things like partying and cycling, and the oldest ones I actually take care of still look near-new after seven years of regular office and travel use, so it’s kinda cheaper in the long run than the crappy fall-apart ones I used to get at Gap or whatever.

Anyway maybe worth checking out if you want a higher-grade option.

https://www.farfetch.com/shopping/men/73456-designer-incotex/trousers-2/items.aspx:eek: $300-near $500 for a pair of pants? Is this like the office dork version of sitka gear?

I don't know, but once they hit 70% off they're worth it for me. I haven't ever paid full retail for a pair.

Depends on the job environment too, I guess.

I’ll throw in another vote for Lululemon ABC pants. They’re incredibly comfortable, Lululemon will hem them for free (at least they used to), and will last years.

I even have a pair that have been converted to chore pants. They’re covered in sap and grease stains and have held up longer than I could have expected them to.

 

[scattergun]

I have never looked at clothes like that before, was rather surprised at the cost of them. But if you can get 'em for 70% off and they are good shit...Makes sense to me

Yeah, it's sweet getting a decade out of something that continues to look and feel good instead of having to more-frequently replace low-quality stuff that starts visibly degrading after a few washes.

Saves money and time over the long haul in my experience, plus shopping for office wear is not my idea of fun.

Same deal with shoes; buy once, cry once. I bought a few pairs of Vass in 2009 and they still look fresh, which surprises me since I really don't baby them.

 

[scattergun]

Getting years out of a pair of paints and 10+outta shoes is impressive. If I get a year out of pants, I'm doing good. Very different job environment though

Agreed. And horses for courses; I wear different stuff on site visits and the like.
