I’m sick of having my pants rip and tear from light daily use.

Preferrably available in Europe.

    I really love Duluth Trading Company pants, especially the ones with their flex firehose material. I wear them almost every day and think they are great.

      I haven’t tried their pants, but I’ve been impressed with their jackets, coats, and shirts.

    Easy answer OP: none.

    Don’t wear pants, let your legs breathe freely.

      Dickies really are underrated. I’ve worn them for years doing landscaping full time in the Midwest. I think I had a pair that lasted six years.

      Unfortunately these are trendy in certain circles now, so the prices are rising. Good pants though.

    I can’t give you European recommendations, but as someone who has had pant challenges, I can make those. Consider evaluating why they are failing. Are the rips and tears in the fabric panels? You may be able to find pants that are reinforced in those areas or are of a more durable fabric. You could also consider repair. If the rips and tears are at seams, maybe you need extra stitching. This can also be repaired but isn’t always cost effective. Also consider fit - if they don’t for appropriately, this also can lead to increased wear.

    Good luck! Sorry if I come off as a lecture and you know all these things.

    Are Levi’s available in Europe? Honestly the best jeans I’ve ever had… I cycle with them almost daily and they’re still going strong.

      I am confused. I thought the OP was asking about pants, as in underpants and people are suggesting jeans. Is this just a misunderstanding or are there actually jeans underpants ?

    Look for raw denim! The real stuff- it’ll feel thicker at first and will take breaking in. You’ll be paying 100+ most likely, but they’ll last you a lifetime. Brands are really dependent on the style/cut of jeans you’re looking for. Not up to date on brands anymore since I haven’t had to buy a new pair in over ten years. My favorite brand was/is Rogue Territory, but I’m not sure if they are available in the EU.

      For pure longevity I’d recommend Iron Hearts. I’ve had the same pair of 634S for about two years, worn 2-4x per week in construction

      Man I don’t know if it’s just me, I’ve owned 3 pairs of raw denim jeans and I blew out all 3 within a year.

        It kind of comes down to the overall craftsmanship of the jeans. I started paying more attention to the seams, stitching, and where things lined up on my body. I had good luck purchasing from smaller brands which appeared to value the ‘legacy’ of denim- not something I really think about, but I was happy they did.

    I really like Volcom shorts and pants. They tend to fit me a lot better (and with much greater consistency) than any other brand, even expensive ones. They’re pretty durable too. Nice that they’re not crazy expensive, but I also buy them from discount stores in the US for great prices. I never buy clothes at full price.

    You could probably find Volcom clothes at skate shops in Europe. I have seen them on European online skateshops and stuff, if I’m remembering correctly.

    I’ve had pretty good luck with fjallraven. They mostly make trekking/hiking apparel, but they do have some styles that make for good casualwear.

    If you’re looking for some fair trade and organic stuff: I’m wearing torland for a few years now. I used to buy new jeans every year because they didn’t last so long (even branded ones). But the ones from torland didn’t disappoint me yet. Still got my first pair from 3-4 years

    I am above average in inseam length and on the akinny side. Buckle jeans generally fit me pretty well and have been pretty durable
