Buy the dickies and kneepads and you'll save yourself trashing your saville row of the denim world jeans.

I prefer slot in knee pads as I find the strap on ones pinch or pull hairs at the back of my knee, especially when sweaty (which is always). Plus, when you're not kneeling, they're not in the way or bunching up your trouser leg. This is not just from DIY but from when I was an archaeologist too.

I picked up a pair of Site trousers from Screwfix for £8 in their Black Friday sale. Don’t know if it’s still on but full price is less than £20 I think. They have slot in knee pads which I find 100 times more comfortable and not practical than the velcro strap type.

@Mr_Smyth
any reason not to buy a cheap pair of dickies work trousers and then some of those kneepads that fit in them?
will only be for 3-4 weeks work but a lot of it is floors/skirting.
or should i just wear jeans and get some kneepads? not looking for dandyrigout american organic loomed cotton/rope dyed hand riveted heritage edition bib n brace just sub £30 on trousers and 8.99 on the pads.
recommendations welcome.
