I might not need any other pants, ever. The gray is a pleasing color, they fit well and I'm thrilled that they come in a 36" length. The pocket I use for my phone is deep enough that it hasn't fallen out (so far), the zip pocket is great for a wallet, and I still have enough pockets left for a handkerchief, multi-tool and keys. I expected the canvas to be stiffer but even though it's nice and sturdy it barely needed any breaking in. And between the weight and the cotton content it's acceptable at work, which is great -- comfier and a better length than the flame-resistant canvas ones (they only go up to 34"), and still adequate for flameworking and whatever other hot things I might encounter. Hands down my favorite pants, even compared to the already-excellent other Dovetail ones I've tried.
