winter work pants with elastic waist
Getting ready to browse Amazon. What do you guys like? My old fleece lined Carhart’s are getting snug around the waist.

I hate how they keep making pants smaller, and leave the same numbers on them.

I like my filson pants over my duofold liners. I have to have a belt to hang stuff off, so I can’t do the elastic waist thing, like Bill I just buy one size up so I can cinch the belt down.
Problem is my belt shrunk, must have been when I was caught in the rain. ????
Stinkin drier.
+1 to @mightymoe. Layering is the way to go. Long handles, then pants, then insulated bibs. I hate to be stuck in lined pants if the temperature rises or I really start hustling.

Think they call it ‘shrinkflation”. See it at the supermarket all the time. Box of cornflakes is 6 oz. lighter but the number on the price tag remains the same.

I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!The above the law pant is a great pant, expensive but I have a pair and in light moisture weather they work great. My lined Carhartt’s and Eddie Bauer’s are so heavy to wear I put them on when it’s really cold and nasty.
LOL
Just so you know; I’m the master of holiday weight gain!
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!@dougie 25 plus years ago I was diagnosed as being diabetic. My wife, who was a Nurse Practitioner, made me call my primary care doctor. What set her off was that I had lost 15 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas with no change in my diet or activity.
Unfortunately, I have put all that back on now that my insulin levels are “normal”.

I swear by their Big Bill wool pants.
Some come with an elastic waist band.

I’m a type 1 diabetic also and if I don’t wear double legged jeans I will have lots of places to check my blood sugar. Everything pokes you or makes you bleed around here.Here is a picture of what I was traversing through yesterday. If you know about dead Blackberry vines, I like them even less than devil’s club.
I use these Carhartts over my regular clothes. I’ve had the same pair for 6 years now. In the PNW water and wind proofness is everything. It doesn’t get super cold like the midwest. If you can stay dry you have the battle mostly won.
@jed I am definitely familiar with blackberry briers, and Devil’s Club and what we call “Wait a Minute” briers. I do love my Dexcom monitor though, constant readings and alarms if too high or too low.
