See Now, Buy Now: Get the Job Done With these Rugged Taylor Stitch Good Acre Chore Pants

Knocking out your to-do list, or trekking out far afield for an adventure, demands gear that passes muster and literally gets the job done, ehh? It’s no joke when brisk weather rolls into town and when duty calls — you’d better be outfitted with the best workwear on the market, I’d say.

And that brings us to Taylor Stitch, the NoCal brand best known for its burly flannel shirts, expertly crafted Oxford shirts and dependable outerwear — gear fit for both the work done at the office and work done out in the field.

The Taylor Stitch Good Acre Collection fits the second of those two pursuits, a fan favorite offering that recently returned to the Taylor Stitch menswear lineup by popular demand. Taylor Stitch perhaps said it best, calling these durable chore pants “homegrown workwear for whatever an honest day’s work looks like for you,” which sounds like a mission statement I can get behind.

The key with the Good Acre Chore Pants? The use of hard-wearing 100 percent duck canvas construction, which stands up to wind, rain, abrasions, dust and debris with ease — as I found out testing these pants during a brisk, breezy fall season in my home state of Michigan.

The Coffee Canvas color is particularly appealing when it comes to these handsome yet sturdy work pants, which are built out with details like reinforced knee construction, plus a pen sleeve and reinforced rear pockets to amp up your everyday carry storage space.

The Good Acre Chore Pants are also expertly crafted with a classic medium rise and a leg opening that tapers ever so slightly from the thigh through the knee down to the ankle — wide enough to wear over a pair of leather work boots, clean enough to wear with moc toe chukka boots for an off-duty dive bar beer alongside your trusty Taylor Stitch trucker jacket.

You’ll certainly find that Taylor Stitch took good care of the details, pun intended, with the Good Acre Chore Pants, including an eye-catching leather back hip patch and front slash pockets, all the better to access your EDC at a moment’s notice. And while these durable work pants for men might prove a touch pricey at $208, they’re also crafted in California with plenty of attention to detail and quality craftsmanship in mind.

I myself prefer the Coffee Canvas offering of the Good Acre Chore Pants, but the Olive Canvas colorway should pair easily with everything from a dark blue chambray shirt to a grey waxed cotton trucker jacket and your favorite thermal henley. The possibilities in terms of rugged workwear are limitless with your new favorite pair of outdoor adventure pants this season (and beyond), my friends. Trust Taylor Stitch to — you guesssed it — get the job done.

American Giant Roughneck Pants.

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.

See Now, Buy Now: Filson’s Dry Tin Pants are the Best Outdoor Pants for Fall

Filson pants

Tough-as-can-be work pants from Filson – they’re the best pants for fall.

I’ll come right out and say it: The Filson Dry Tin Pants are assuredly the rugged men’s pants you need this fall, especially if your season entails everything from early morning yard work to day hikes to brewery visits (wear a mask!) and beyond. Whether you want to think of them as the best work pants for men, or as just a darn fine pair of pants for a casual fall weekend, they won’t do you wrong. Similar in nature to, say, the Taylor Stitch Chore Pants, these rugged Filson pants are a stone-cold classic from a brand that knows how to make the best workwear for men, including some of the best men’s work pants and jackets. It all starts, as you might expect, with the fabrication and construction. In the case of the best outdoor pants for fall, the secret weapon is abrasion-resistant cotton Tin Cloth fabric. This durable fabric just so happens to be ready to take on the toughest projects and gnarly conditions aplenty this fall, and the five-pocket design offers plenty of space for your everyday carry.

Filson Dry Tin Pants

Reinforced work pants for tough seasonal style.

The Filson Dry Tin 5-Pocket Pants aren’t just your average pair of work pants, though. They’ve got reinforcement at key stress points, including at the rivets, plus a double-layer rear hem to stand up to tough conditions on the ground. And yet, these aren’t an overly baggy pair of work pants. The cut on these Filson pants should be a straight fit, one that’s easy to move around in on the job and yet looks put together when you head to a distillery or brewery (Filson boots afoot, of course) for post-session pint. How’s that for versatility when it comes to the best outdoor pants for fall — and beyond? If I were you, I’d team my Filson Dry Tin 5-Pocket Pants with none other than a rugged Filson henley, a waxed jacket, and yes, Filson boots. Now, get out there and get to work.
