Fantastic
These pants are truly amazing.After seeing Wrangle star wearing them on his you-tube channel and with his recommendation I gave them & try & LOVE THEM!
Pants had a great look and feel to them. Size was a touch too big but overall not a big deal. The fit on the legs though felt like bell bottoms. I can imagine the width being an issue on the field getting hung up on objects and causing issues.
The back pocket that goes all the way to the hip keeps tools in the perfect spot. Makes for comfortable access in all working positions. People have asked me if my pants were on backwards. The Hemp has more flex than duck and is softer. Just bought my second pair.
We're sorry to hear about the disappointment with our relaxed fit design on these work wear pants. You may prefer the slim fit design of the lighter weight [Men's Twill Pant](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-performance-twill-jeans-short/56480.html). Please reach out to our Customer Service team for a return and and any questions about product. Thanks for taking the time to review, Keith!

Great work pants
I bought these as a work pant and they've been great so far. I bought them a little large to have extra flexibility. They held up great working in Florida sand but also were breathable in the heat. Will be getting another pair at some point.
These pants are well worth every cent. I have used them since their inception and they hold up well to my power lifter thighs. My use case was in outdoor education and manual labor. I would recommend trying them on for size, as the sizing has been a bit variable.
Your available sizing makes me feel very discriminated against. I am a trail runner so dont retain weight well and lately feels you guys only stock items for lager people in waste(the short is only available in 34 + waste sizes). Please keep this is mind when ordering your stock as it is very hurtful.
Hi Erik, we're sorry about the inventory shortage for sizes under 34. Looking into inventory, we see that sizes below 34 will replenish on June 17th, 2023. Please be aware that this date is tentative, but be sure to check back in with us then.

Very pleased with the fabric, heavy duty. Hemp clothings time has come. Only thing missing is a side pocket for cell phone, etc. If i could get a piece of the fabric i would have my seamstress make one.
I have been a huge fan of these pants since they came out, and own a couple other pairs as well as a couple pairs of the lighter material versions of the same. These are the first workpants that have rated higher in my book than the vaunted Carhartt double front ducks that I've worn for about the past 30 years. I'm super stoked that there... Read More are different lengths to choose from now, since I am stumpy and am tired of rolling the cuffs up on all my pants. I am finding, a couple years into the Iron Forge pants, that they hold up at least as well as my old Carhartts, and maybe actually wear better in the long term. The Iron Forge pants have been, up until now, more soft and comfortable for sure, and while that initially made me worry about their durability, over the long haul they have been awesome.
However, with this latest pair, it feels as if something has changed in the cut compared to my older (roughly 2020 purchase) Iron Forge pants. These new ones are the same waist (34), in a short leg, same as my last purchased pair, but they feel different. It may be a break-in issue, but I do not recall the prior pants feeling this way. Basically, these now feel a little more snug around the gusseted crotch, a little less baggy. This is probably good news to those who thought the originals were maybe a little too free and breezy, but it is taking some getting used to for me. They are still awesome in ever other regard, and I dig the heck out of them, but they don't have quite the same pajama comfy feel as my older pants...

very nice, but...
These are very similar to the original Stand Up pants from the 70's. The hemp is wonderful. adding a thigh pocket for a smart phone would make them perfect.
I really liked these pants for work. Theyre very heavy and thick especially in the double knee. But I need to wear a belt with them and one of the front belt loops broke the third time I wore them.

Surprisingly well done
Feels really good from the start. Nice, soft, and at the same time durable material. Seat well and feels like custom tailored.
I bought these for my son for gift and he loves them. Was attracted to the roomy fit and the fact that theyre made from hemp which is very durable. He also was amazed at how soft they felt and how substantial the fabric was. The special pockets in the back or also a plus in their ease of access. He bought two more pair to be sure he could get them.... Read More
This garment is ideal for work in the yard or farm and for the cooler days of the year. The fit is a little large but for heavy set people like me, they are a comfortable fit. I recommend to all you hard working men!
These pants definitely fit great. I got the short size, but they are a perfect length for casual wear. I love how heavy they feel. They are surprisingly warm but I have yet to get too hot in 65-degree weather.
These are awesome pants. Tough, soft, and comfortable. Thats sounds contradictory, but true. They hold up well in the pottery studio from working on the wheel to firing the wood kiln. I particularly like the back pockets. I have three pair!
These are great work pants. Tough, soft, and Comfortable. I know that sounds like a contradiction.

Owned 2 pairs for 2 months own 2 other pairs for 6. I am really enjoying them. Im an apprentice electrician and this is what I use these pants for.
Hoping hey are good against tears so far one pair has a small hole shaped break.

Unbreakable yet supple pants
I really like these pants, they're extremely tough, pretty fashionable (I wear them to the barnyard or the local wineries), hide dirt INCREDIBLY well (the khaki color does anyway). I own two pair, the first fit perfect and the newest ones are a little tighter in the waist, they might stretch out or there's just a bit of variability, no bi... Read Moreg deal.
Excellent detail, very well crafted, great fit and durability.
Chapeau to the Patagonia fabric developers and pattern makers for balancing comfort and trim fit in the waist and seat, with the freedom in the legs for breathable, active, real-world, full range-of-motion use. The pant legs furl easily enough for use in knee-high chore boots, and the wider cuffs have yet to get in the way when using outside lower ... Read Morecut footwear.
Also worth noting is the excellent skill and precision of the Sri Lankan Cut & Sew and QA crews. Hoping they hear/feel the thanks and appreciation due such dedicated craftspeople.
Bottom line: Bought three pairs of these pants two months ago, have worn them daily, and would gladly buy three more.
Hi, I am 5 9 and 240 lbs and use these for yard and carpentry work. I ordered one size up since I wanted to wear thermal fleece layers underneath. The back pockets are a smart design when driving so youre not sitting on your wallet for hours. I like the reinforced pockets for knife clips.

I would probably buy another and recommend to a friend. Overall good pants!
Everything on the pant just makes sense. The rear pockets are set to the side so if you have stuff in them you can still sit down. Very comfortable crotch and roomy thighs. Overall very tough feeling but not nearly as rough or stiff as a typical duck fabric you might get from Carhartt.
Ordered a size 38 and tried to shrink them. They did not shrink in hot water or the dryer. They are about 3 inches too long and a bit baggy for work. Love the fabric, the pockets are awesome. Seems very durable. Wish they were a bit more regular in the legs and less length as I didnt order as a tall, but these are long. Have to roll the bottoms up.... Read More
I really wanted to like these pants, but they have a really strange cut to them. The lower legs are VERY wide. I guess it's meant to be able to put them on over boots or something? They weren't TOO wide to be in the way, but they are quite bulky. A slimmer cut to the ankle would be better for "work." The real problem for me was ... Read Morethe very low waist and "high" crotch. I bought these to be used as work pants but after putting them on I immediately got the urge to hike them up because they were sagging very low on my waist. But when I pulled them up, I got a wedgie. Squatting down tightened up the crotch to an uncomfortable level AND exposed the dreaded "plumber's crack." I wanted about one more inch of space in the crotch and about one more inch higher in the waist. They weren't tight in the circumference and a different size would not have helped. They just don't cover enough area height wise. (I'm 5'10", 175-180.) I just couldn't imagine getting any work done in these pants and decided to return them. They were incredibly soft and seemed to be made of very strong fabric. Construction was great. They just didn't fit.
I love this. It's solid and doesn't look like it must be worn in an agricultural field or inside a factory. I'm a journalist and independent filmmaker and wear this in the street every day, and when I know, I may have to kneel or sit on the floor. I have the green one too. Honestly, it's pretty perfect.
These are heavy duty pants, with the emphasis on heavy. They must weigh 5 pounds. Initially skeptical they fit great and are nice to wear to work in cool seasons. These would also make nice work pants. I wouldnt recommend for hiking unless you want to substitute these for ankle weights.
After having my first pair for a couple months I decided these have to be my new every day pant. Bought 2 more pairs. And thinking about getting one more too!
Theyre especially nice during the hot Summer. Just dont soak up sweat like 100% cotton does. Feel cooler too. In Winter the extra layers (knee & rump) are a nice barrier from the cold. ...

Before I write about the pants I am great full to Sara the wonderful English lady in customer service that took the time to help me fix a gift card and take my purchases. She was so kind and patient.

Ive had the same carabiner on my keys since 1978 and still have my climbing pack well worn Great gear that lasts.
The pocket design is brilliant! I can walk around with a water bottle in my back pocket with no problem... I'm even drinking more water because of these pants.
this is my fourth pair of hemp iron forge pants. The other three I beat up doing carpentry, but I wanted a pair to just wear around the house. What can I say, hemp is comfortable and just because they are really tough, shouldn't mean I don't get to wear them when I'm just chilling.
This is the second pair of Iron Forge Double Knee pants I have purchased for my husband. He is refurbishing an old boat and these pants are bullet proof. He climbs in and out of the engine room and all sorts of awkward small spaces and these pants hold up to all the abuse.
Love these pants, the pockets are great and i like the material. My only gripe with them is they are a little tight in the crotch compared with carhatts.
Usually wear a 32 but the 34 fit me right. big difference. I have another single knee pants that fit true to 32, so it wasn't my waist ;-) Still great support and products.
I used carhartt logger pants for years. I saw a video on YouTube wranglerstar. He was saying how they were nice and comfortable pants. I order i pair and i was impressed for me they are the best pants on the market.
'Still have my 1st pair of these. Very tough pants that are also comfortable and durable. Other brands "carpenter" and "work" pants might last me 6 months. I have had my 1st pair 2 years, and just bought some more. Highly recommend!
good fit generally, the waist is snug but I am a bit wider now
I got the short version, that is good. They feel like they will break in well, the high waist also helps but I would lower it for a custom fit personally.
Much more comfortable than Carharts. I was concerned about the "strange" back pockets but after a couple of days I don't know how I'd manage without them.
Ive tried all the rest over the years and these are the best work pants available, hands down. Fit just right, crazy comfortable, and ultra durable.

The build quality, materials, and comfort are top-notch. They are a sturdy pair of pants. I am a gardener in Los Angeles and they perform well year-round.

To find anything, I have to remove everything. Likewise, the double-knee option when combined with knee pads underperforms. The holes at the bottom are just too large and one corner of the knee pads inevitably pokes out. The Brand C's are better in this regard as well. I'm frustrated, because I feel with a couple of tweaks, they would have something excellent here. I like the Patagonia pants a lot as a comfortable weekend option, but I find myself reaching first for the one pair of Brand C's I have left.

Seem built to last
Ordered regular inseam and found them too long . Customer service were really helpful and worked hard to get them exchanged for short length. Process was smooth and hassle free.
This is my 2nd pair. The material feels sturdy but fine against the skin. The fit is roomy around the legs but drapes well. Only complaint is that it's shrunk a 1/4 inch after the 1st wash. My 1st pair remains the same length after a 2nd wash. Go figure.
I noted that the fit is a bit small...it's very minor in the sense that a 32 fits basically like a 32 but seems just slightly more snug than other 32s that I have. Great pants, very comfortable for how seriously strong the material seems to be. "Short" was the right call for my 5'8" proportions.
Those are more rigid pants than their cousin, the M's All Seasons Hemp Canvas Double Knee Pants. I am a journalist, and when I travel to a rougher country, those are the ones I'll bring along. I'm pretty confident they can resist anything. They are also very comfortable and kept me warm all winter in California.
Love the hemp and the color. Wish it didn't have double knees
Love these pants overall. I have a few pairs of the 5 pocket Hemp workpants and as with those the size of the pants seems to vary widely. I have 2 pairs of 36W and 1 pair 34W. There is about 3-4" of variance between the 3 pairs. Even the 36" is not close with the 2 pairs. So that is my issue with any of the hemp work pants.
The good par... Read Moret is these wear really really well and they are so soft. Much better than duck cotton IMO. I love the deep pockets on the back side. I wish they came in an option without the double knee. Otherwise these are a keeper for sure.
I have two pair in 31 short, black and have been living in these most of the winter. At 6 and 160lbs. Im fundamentally structured like many of the Patagonia models and run medium in everything Patagonia, so finding the right fit was a bit of a cheat. Im a bit long torsoed, so having the 31 in short length is a great option, and these pants fall rig... Read Moreht to the ankle on me with no break. Not too long. Not too short. The pants are proving highly durable to date; holding up to constant daily wear while building fences, installing insulation, shoveling snow, bucking logs, cooking in the kitchen, working in the studio, and dealing with a puppy run amok. I expect them to last for a while. The tight weave of the fabric means that wind doesnt cut through very much and Ive worked all day in wind chills in the low teens with a mid-weight wool layer without any issues. Added bonus, they are comfortable enough to also lounge about in. They go on first thing in the morning and dont come off till bed.
Folks have mentioned the wet diaper sensation. I did notice it when I first put them on when they arrived, but after wearing them all the time I dont even notice it. I may have gotten used to it, or they may have broken in. Regardless, I suspect the issue is due to the extra deep back pockets running to the back of mid-thigh in conjunction with the gusseted crotch causing the back-of-leg fabric to bunch up a bit at the pockets bottom seams with each stride.
The only aspect that I find could be redesigned in the near term is the knife clip gusset. I think the concept is well intentioned as thats where my 501s start to fray early on, however its placement actually pushes out my knife clip excessively so that its end catches on things I might brush against even lightly. The extra tension put on the clip also makes it more difficult to draw when needed. That said my solution has been to start using my sheath knife again. All in all I love these pants. I purchased a pair and after living in them for a couple of weeks got another pair so I can rotate them as needed. These are an essential part of my kit and Im hoping they stick around for when Im ready for a replacement pair.
Nice pant, well made and true to size. Patagonia pants fit always seems a bit different for me. A bit loose in the waist and tight in the thighs, would make high stepping impossible, glad they are not for climbing. Not so bad as to return but not ideal.
I am a potter, xc ski instructor, grandpa, etc... These pants work well for many occasions. With or without long underwear. If they are clean, I will wear them to dinner with a nice shirt. This time of year they are in my ski bag to put on after lessons. Love the pockets. Great pants.
Finished upper seams , slightly oversized in the relaxed fit, weight and drape of the materials, SEVEN belt loops! pocket placement and size. All good, good job.
My favorite pair of pants this season for casual wear and work. They're rugged, comfy, resistant, and soft all at the same time. Similar to the All Seasons Hemp Canvas Double Knee, but baggier.
I can generally rely on a 33 waist with a 30 inseam on most brands. These pants run small and I found the 34 to be a better fit although I would consider it a snug fit. The material has no stretch so that is a factor in the fit. Im not sure if the large leg openings is completely necessary but the pants are without doubt durable and very well const... Read Moreructed. I also appreciate that the material is responsibly sourced.
Ive used Patagonia pants for work for years. Its been a long time since I was in construction, but I worked in a fab shop as part of a high-end car audio integration business. These pants fit great, are incredibly tough, and I will definitely buy more.
Great pants! Heavy, but no break-in time necessary. Sizing is perfect and fit is generous. I would like to see some type of closure on the rear pockets (Velcro) similar time the standup shorts. Love the pants though!
I appreciate the attempt at a solid work pant. but being a farmer who is constantly moving and wearing rubber boots I found the design to be way too large in the legs. A tapered cut option or something more streamlined would be great. Thanks
The pants fit perfectly and hold up to the damage my fuel reduction crew puts out. My only complaint would be that the pants claim to be more abrasion resistant than "the other brands" but I've gotten a little more punctures in my Iron forge than my charhartts but that might just be luck of the draw.
Ordered these pants for my husband, he loves them they are tough, but super comfortable . He loves the rancher coat, but wants it in dark ash, it would be great if you carried all your colors in all workwear, in both men and womans.
So far, these work pants are great. The only helpful change / addition would be a small tool pocket just below the existing side pockets on the right side (from this right-hander's perspective ;-)) for carrying things something such as hand pruners.
Fit is just right and comfort is too. This is a very soft, but tough material. Much more comfortable than the standard heavy duty work pant from the well known manufacturer. I’ll be buying more of these.
These pants are GREAT, insomuch as I bought another pair in a different color. I work outdoors a bunch and usually wear pants out faster than most.

Wow Patagonia nailed it with these! I am 5'10,200 lbs and its almost like they were built just for me. Love the cut and apparent durability.

I can't express how much I love the pants.I love the cut not too baggy but just right so to provide a full range of movement in all activities.I did go one size larger in the waist just a FYI

I have had these for a month now and put them through the ringer loading trucks for a beer distribution. No tears or abrasions from the constant rubbing agains kegs,pallets,docks,and warehouse environment. They are absolutely comfortable for being so durable.

Fit is spot on for me,i appreciate the shorter length for my 30" inseam. So glad Patagonia is developing products like this!
I've had these for just over a month working as a full time commercial electrician. I've put them through ground work as well as the usual work (having to kneel on concrete etc.) and they hold up well. They seem like they'll last at least a year.

My biggest issue with these pants are their pockets. The pockets are way too deep to hold any tools in them like pliers or drivers. They need to stick out a couple inches so that I don't have to be constantly digging through my pockets to find them. Another point on the pockets is that the backside pockets make you look like you're wearing the pants backwards. Not a big deal if you don't care about people mentioning it on site. I will try to update if anything changes!
Great quality,pockets are too deep,awesome that they are a better alternative to the usual workwear.
Most definitely my new go to work pant for around the house (need FR for work) and camping,hunting and pretty much anything.

I bought almost the whole workwear colltion and i"m nothing but impressed. My first pair will be a project pant,a pair of pants I use to make things with my son and when I die,I hope the pants bring back all the memories when he discovers them. Storytelling clothes are perfect,as are these (minus the little fabric)
Patagonia note! I mountain bike a lot. I'd wear these in an instant for that as well,actually everything is great for mountain biking (it's getting cold,durability is important for the riding I get up to. Breathability is nice,but second at this time of year.) If the legs were tappered more,that would make these awesome dual purpose. Overall,I feel the leg could be tappered a more after the knee. As a professor that will wear these to teach the outdoor portions,perhaps I'm biased.
Nice looking pants and constructed of quality material. First thing I noticed is the miniature zipper,these pants deserve a Filson quality zipper,not the zipper off my wife's jeans.

Cons: there is way too much fabric material in the crotch gusseting area. If you could do a complete split,there would still be extra fabric there. I get that they want to allow you to move but they just went overboard. This results in walking around with a slight "wet diaper" feeling,and really diminishes comfort.
Overall,these will be by favorite go to work pants,but if they would redesign the crotch gusseting,it would take these pants from good to perfect. I might actually take these to a tailor and see if they can reduce the amount of fabric in the crotch to eliminate the bagginess there.
I need more stars to properly rate these pants.
I've owned some of the main competitor's pants and,while thick,they're not overly comfy. I always sucked it up "because work pants" or "because canvas" or "because protection" When working with metal especially,or when working up and down off of hands and ... Read Moreknees on gravel or mud,I always felt that the thick and uncomfortable style was the trade off for remaining unbloodied. I've also owned thinner canvas pants for work during warmer months.
I have lived in the Patagucci Forge pants for two and a half days now. I've run a load of maple through my saw and planer,finished a small table from salvaged cedar,and taken a wire wheel to two old saw blades I had for decorative purposes. That's pretty choice as far as activities go. It's at least 25 degrees here (oh yeah,that's Celsius,eh) and I feel like I am in an old set of jeans. These pants balance between heavy protection and also feeling lightweight enough for temperature regulation. I love the drop in pockets!
Two and a half days might be a little early to toot the horn,but I've not been let down by Patagonia yet,and there's the research done on this material which sounds pretty promising.
