Red Kap Lightweight Crew Pant

I work in a machine shop. I used to wear jeans every day. I started looking for something other than jeans because jeans fade fast, rip easily in the crotch, are hot in summer, and fairly expensive. I sweat a lot in the summer and the shop isn't air conditioned. Cotton jeans just stay wet with sweat. I bought a pair of these to try out last year. I wear these lightweight crew pants every day now. I have 12 pairs of the gray (charcoal) for work, and 1 pair of the khakis for casual wear. I am short so I like that these come in a 28" inseam. Most brands don't carry 28" inseams, so I am limited on what I can buy, and hemming just adds cost. These pants are pretty close to a perfect fit for me. I am short and muscular. These are loose enough to work in, but not baggy at all. They look good enough to wear around town, and I even wear them occasionally to church on Sundays. The material is very nice. It doesn't fade much at all, stretches just a little, and it dries quickly. It's fairly cool in the summer. Haven't had one rip out in the crotch yet. The material is thin but very strong and tough. I also like the 7 belt loops, which are wider than dress pant belt loops, but not overly wide where they look bad. Front and back pockets are the perfect size. I could do without the cellphone pocket. I never use it. I don't mind it, just don't need it and maybe without it the pants could be a few dollars cheaper. I wish these came in a darker khaki or brown color. These pants are also very nice for hiking.

These pants are very comfortable and I like the stretch waist. I tried one pair and loved it, so ordered 5 more. like the Red Kap shirts too. I get the two toned shirts to go with these pants!! Looks official and clean cut.

Rise to waist is too short. I feel very uncomfortable in them

These pants are durable and very comfortable. The side pocket is a great place to carry a phone

Nice light flexible durable to notch pants
