What it concludes

• Levi's 501s are no longer suitable as heavy-duty work pants due to lack of utility features like hammer loops and cargo pockets.
• Carhartt pants have added stretch and changed their emphasis, making them less durable for hard work.
• Prison Blues offer heavy denim and great stitching, but their right-leg cargo pocket is too deep and improperly proportioned.
• Wrangler Riggs work pants are built for work and feature good pocket placement and heavy denim.
• Duluth Trading fire hose pants use a softer fabric rather than heavy denim, making them less ideal for harsh work environments.
• Key jeans are the host's top choice for work pants because of their practical design, hammer loops, and durability.
