twice as long as mine, it costs probably four times as much
I'm a great believer in there being a sensible price point for most things. If you're doing hard manual labour you'll destroy clothes and that's a business expense. There's a reason basically everyone on domestic sites wears those DeWalt trousers and boots.
If it's recreational wear then it's whatever you can or choose to spend on your clothes really.
That said I am after a pair of non-technical looking work trousers as my DIY jeans are on their last legs. But as nothing I use gets more than occasional use I'd prefer it not to look too geeky in case I go out. Looking either at Dickies from Screwfix, or seeing if I can find some cheap Carhartt somewhere. It's annoying as they're the sort of thing pre covid I would have got from a charity shop or army surplus.

I would be briefly jealous of your working (wandering around your acres looking mean, moody and purposeful) clothing. The problem is that although your gear would certainly last at least twice as long as mine, it costs probably four times as much.
I have been slightly dishonest, when I can get away with wellies in winter, Le Chameau Vierzonord are superb, they are not inexpensive.
