These are my trousers for walking dogs, minor household/garden chores but can then be worn with proper leather country shoes/boots and look a little bit smart. The heft of the woollen weave/cotton twill (one pair of wool and one pair cotton trousers) gives the impression they will last for years.
Often worn with a merino t shirt and then a shirt/jacket (Pendleton wool or heavy denim) so the braces are under the shirt and not having too much of a detrimental effect. Long term I may buy some cowboy style leather braces with belt loops if I can adjust to belt and braces.
Being able to hang things from my belt and not feel lopsided because the weight is spread across wide braces is so much more comfortable.

This sounds great and like a by-word for quality, but isn’t it just a bit impractical having such heavy material for when you’re doing stuff? Wouldn’t a set of these be infinitely more practical as well as more comfortable?

They obviously look a lot smarter...although belts and braces may negate that somewhat ;)
