• Anyone wear work dungarees? Worn Carhartt cotton ones for years but need something that can take a kneepad easily.

  • My carhartts are double thickness on the knees I think they can take knee pads too. Filson double tin cloth bib trousers are my favourites, no knee pad pocket, but the double layer of waxed cotton is pretty good at protecting my delicate knees (had 3 knee surgeries so far).

  • Yeah mine are all double fronted, but fitting a big knee pad in and out is a pain, I could open up the bottoms and add Velcro, but it’s a bit of a faff tbh.

    Deffo need pads tho, my knee has been wrecked since starting sparky work. Been fine kneeling for work for years, but kneeling on joists and less even surfaces has caused trouble instantly.

    Funny question, but does anyone have any recommendations for braces? The available selection of work dungarees is a lot poorer than trousers, so could probably just get away with braces to get the weight off my hips.
