Those look nice too. Do they ever have good sales that you have noticed?

Late arrival to this thread...these still have a touch of “tactical” to them, but the Tru-Spec 24-7 pants have the hidden-seam cargo pockets (and nice little side / hip pockets perfectly sized for a knife or light).

I have a few pairs that I wear from time to time.

My wife is the shopper in the family, I'm sure she scoured the web for coupon codes to get these at lower prices than are on the site. I'm required to "not wear jeans" M-TH at work and these fit the bill perfectly.

Not exactly on point, but I have a pair of Duluth Trading Co. DuluthFlex Ballroom Khaki Shorts that have a great cellphone pocket. It is on the outside, but doesn't stick out.

Duluth has pants in the same style ( DuluthFlex Ballroom Khakis ). I know it's not what you said you're looking for, but thought I would mention them as the shorts are terrific.

Grabbed 2 pair while they were 30% off. I really like them! Cotton with a little stretch. Plenty of room.

Thanks for all the recommendations.

Those look good, and the sale price is nice, but they start 1 size too big for me.
May need to make the trek to the Duluth store (across the entire city of Houston) & see how they feel/fit.
May try out the 5.11 store that's much closer (only a couple miles) and check their clearance racks.

$5 cheaper per pair today than yesterday!

This thread made me buy pants. Lol. Primary Arms is closing out Vertx Fusion pants. It’s the lightweight version, 5 oz cloth, for 20 bucks a pair. Limit 7. I just bought 6. Vertx is that good. By the way, this particular pant has 14 pockets. (It’s not as obnoxious as it sounds lol)

I just looked at those pants on Primary Arms and color me skeptical at $20 a pair. How long does a pair last with regular wear? I'm sure they are manufactured overseas as nothing on the description stated origin of manufacture.

I vowed awhile back to make a concerted effort to buy American made and sourced every time I possibly can even if that means paying considerably more which it usually does.

I will say at $20 a pair the cheap ass in me says what do I have to lose but I'm going to take a pass put that $20 towards a pair of Triple Aught American made cargo pants.

Fair enough. I only buy Vertx on closeout. The regular price for these is 80 bucks a pair. I have a stack of unopened Vertx pants I bought a few years back from LAPG for like 12 bucks apiece in closeout. I got the first couple pair and was amazed, yes amazed, at how good Vertx is that I went back and bought about 10 more. They are about the perfect pant. I gained a bunch of weight in chemo though so I needed some bigger size until I can get back down to my “normal”.

I honestly don’t know where they are made. I can tell you Vertx sew quality and material quality is as good as any pant I’ve ever bought, 5.11, Mountain Khaki, etc. Where they take the win though is design. They put pockets where they make sense. They make them of a size that’s useful. They do it without being obnoxious.

I guess I’m a fanboy. Vertx is the best pant out there. For 20 bucks on normally 80 dollar pants I recommend you try before you scoff.

They contracted with Arc'Teryx early on to get their design and pattern making off the ground, along with assisting them in sourcing of fabrics and finding a factory west of Hawaii.

A number of companies now that are US based, are attempting to support US industry, the fact is there's very, very little sew shops available, especially of any commercial quality. There's a handful of textile mills which I believe Beyond Clothing, Otte Gear and TAD Gear have sourced, but, they all have to source production overseas. Crye I know has their own sewers but, most of them are focused on tactical nylon; as they've grown they've been able to lock-up production time with domestic sew shops however, the final price also reflects that.
