Being ready for just about anything in the menswear world (and in your late summer and early fall pursuits) means having the right tools for the job in your wardrobe before it’s too late. Now, I don’t literally mean tools, but I mean rugged menswear essentials you can wear on a weekend adventure, on a Sunday park stroll, to a brewery or even to a casual office.

In fact, I mean the American Giant Roughneck Pants, a certified modern style classic ready to work as hard as you do. And if you scan the pages of The Style Guide regularly, you know that American Giant certainly works hard to make some of the best USA-made menswear season after season — these hard-wearing work pants are no exception.

In my personal experience, they’re as suited for play (brewery beers, anyone?) as they are for work in the field, day hikes and beyond, and there’s plenty that makes the American Giant Roughneck Pants as exceptional as they are.

In my personal experience with the very well-reviewed American Giant Roughneck Pants (which garnered an average rating of 4.5 stars over nearly 800 reviews!), they’re about everything you could want in a durable, versatile pair of pants. Sure, they’re more casual than your favorite pair of stretch chinos, but no less wearable with, say, an Oxford shirt or a classic chambray shirt (of course).

The American Giant Roughneck Pants feature all the hallmarks of the brand’s sturdy, USA-made production, including durable stretch cotton canvas fabric that’s woven in Georgia. These five-pocket pants, modeled after classic jeans, are then finished in Texas with custom metal hardware. And for good measure, your new favorite pair of pants come six colors and in both Slim and Straight fits.

Either option would be a fine fit worn right now with classic canvas sneakers, and the American Giant Roughneck Pants will certainly prove plenty wearable come fall and winter with rugged Red Wing boots (among other treasured style picks). Do yourself a favor and invest in the best now.
