Fall’s many pursuits, which we love so dearly here at this Brooklyn style blog — from whiskey bar visits to park strolls and leaf-peeping — call for gear that’s fit for the season, with a touch more texture, rugged appeal and sturdy style than what you’d wear in the spring and summer.

The Line of Trade Utility Pants, you see, feature durable fabrication you can count on to resist wind, rain, abrasions, dirt and debris (and spilled beer or whiskey, mind you). The 12 oz heavy grain cotton twill offers what Bespoke Post calls “uncompromising longevity and classic workwear looks,” and I’d have to agree with that sentiment.

The company went so far as to reinforce the knee patches for extra durability, while the classic (but not baggy!) fit offers plenty of room to move.

The Line of Trade Utility Pants are bolstered by carefully considered design touches meant to hold tools or your everyday carry, including front slash pockets, two large back pockets and a utility tool pocket. And since the details make the difference when it comes to the best work pants for men, the Line of Trade Utility Pants are fashioned with a custom leather back patch.

Color options like the handsome Raven pair up well with burnished brown Chelsea boots, dependable pull-on leather work boots or perhaps even chunky olive green high-top sneakers for off-duty pursuits.

The Thursday Buy: Filson’s Draftsman Canvas Pants are as Rugged and Versatile As It Gets For Fall

Best canvas work pants for men.

There are certain essential menswear brands, at least in my experience, one can’t help but admire as far as rugged appeal, functionality and durability is concerned. Add in a dash of timeless style points, and you’re looking at the Filson way over the past century-plus.

Although the brand doesn’t quite make as much of its gear in the U.S. of A as it is used to (always worth noting!), it’s still impressive when an iconic outfitter keeps delivering the goods in durable, hard-working form, from waxed outerwear to cozy thermal base layers, tough everyday carry essentials and other gear fit for the open road and the trail.

That certainly goes for the Filson Draftsman Canvas Pants, as much as any staple in the company’s new fall collection. And because you’re assuredly going to need a pair of the best work pants for men this autumn (and beyond), I’d say it’s high time we dove in to this pair of pants — along with my other Filson reviews on this Brooklyn style blog, of course.

The Filson Draftsman Canvas Pants take what you thought you knew about the traditional work pant, and then give ’em a fresh coat of paint, so to speak. Available in a range of sizes up to size 42, these pants nod to the classic five-pocket pant or chino, all the while using midweight Panama canvas and a dash of stretch.

These are sturdy pants with a tight weave and 1 percent stretch for comfort — so while you might not quite want to wear them to a day in the construction yard, they’ve got the rugged durability to take you from the drafting table to the factory floor (or from your backyard to a brewery) with relative ease.

There’s an utterly classic appeal to some of the best work pants for men — to me, the Filson Draftsman Canvas Pant, with a straight leg and crisp welt pockets, plus back flap patch pockets, remind me of the sort of pants my great grandfather wore to mow the yard (and enjoy a bourbon on the rocks afterwards).

The handsome Filson Draftsman Canvas Pant should fit true to size and pair up as easily with a chambray shirt or a thermal henley as with an ultra-warm, thick Filson men’s sweater. In fact, one verified buyer (hey there, Paul!) noted that “what’s great is that they’re tough enough for crawling around in the crawlspace, and they’re refined enough to wear to the office.” That sounds to me like a winning addition to your fall wardrobe — good luck out there this season, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: These Filson Dry Tin Cloth Pants are Up for Just About Anything This Spring

Best work pants for men this spring.

The right gear for the task at hand — spring cleaning, a day hike, a trip to your local brewery (or all three in one day) makes all the difference, as the good folks at Filson know. The legendary Pacific Northwest outfitter delivers dependable, durable style from head to toe (and in your accessories rotation, as well — its tough-as-nails bags are the stuff of legend).

And when it comes to the best work pants for spring — better known here as the right gear for the task at hand — the iconic outfitter has been delivering for years, to say the least. Filson Dry Tin Cloth fabric is arguably the backbone of the brand, the type of material trusted for decades, and found trucker jackets and the five-pocket work pants shown above, to name but a few style staples that get a workwear edge for the spring season (and beyond).

Designed with just about anything you can throw at ’em in mind, the Filson Dry Tin Cloth Work Pants are some of the best pants for spring for a reason, and it all starts with the company’s iconic, hard-working 100% cotton dry finish Tin Cloth fabric. It’s as supple and sturdy as waxed cotton, ready to take on the elements by repelling wind, rain, debris and abrasions of all sorts. The key is, it’s not waxed, yet tightly woven and durable as can be.

The Filson Dry Tin Cloth Work Pants are also finished with details like rivets at key stress points, reinforced rear patch pockets for your everyday carry, and a front watch pocket for further storage space. Another crucial design detail that elevates the sturdy Filson Dry Tin Cloth Work Pants? A metal shank button waist closure — no need to worry about key hardware failing you in the clutch. The famed outfitter notes that the Filson Dry Tin Cloth Work Pants were designed “with the cut of a favorite pair of jeans and the legendary durability of our signature canvas,” and that makes ’em sound like a truly terrific pair of work pants for spring, at least in my experience.

For pursuits on duty and off, the Filson Dry Tin Cloth Work Pants also come in richly crafted, classic colors like the aptly named Whiskey — ideal for pairing with an indigo denim jacket, a henley and lace-up leather boots for sipping, well, some whiskey around the campfire this spring. And when the time comes to dial down and really get to work, well, the Filson Dry Tin Cloth Work Pants are up to the job — and then some. Would you expect anything else from Filson? No, sir.

The Sunday Sale: Save 30 Percent on these Rugged Everyday Men’s Pants from Line of Trade

Finding the best deals on the best men’s gear, and then passing those savings onto customers who appreciate small craft brands and the work they do, is something of a specialty for the good folks at Bespoke Post. And it’s that passion for craft that led them to start Line of Trade — it’s a brand rooted in Americana and classically rugged styles, like the best work pants for men.

But here’s the catch: Although Line of Trade is its own brand entirely now (as you’ve seen from Line of Trade reviews here on this Brooklyn style blog), you can still score some standout savings back at its old parent company: Bespoke Post, of course.

And that brings us to the Line of Trade Foundry Pants, a durable and tough-as-nails pair of canvas pants that just so happen to be, well, highly stylish. Add in the fact that the Line of Trade Foundry Pants are on sale now at Bespoke Post for 30 percent off, and we’re in business.

That sense of style merged with craftsmanship is always nice to have in a pair of the best everyday pants, which boast the same five-pocket construction as your favorite jeans — yet with the sturdiness of a pair of 9oz. canvas work pants.

Yes, they’re likely more fit for work than play, so to speak, but the hard-working nature of the Line of Trade Foundry Pants extends far past brisk mornings in the garage or out in the field. Double-needle stitching at key stress points gives them true workwear appeal, while its pockets are built for utility and ample storage space.

The Line of Trade Foundry Pants also happen to be heavily garment-washed — that gives them a broken-in feel and easy wearability right out of the box, unlike other pairs of canvas work pants, which can come off as stiff and uncomfortable until worn repeatedly. Helpfully, the bottom hem can be rolled up for added mobility and a more secure fit, further bolstering the “everything-but-the-kitchen-sink” nature of these trusty work pants.
