Carhartt Men's Relaxed Straight Rigby Lined Dungaree (Style MJ46)

Our review of the Carhartt Men's Relaxed Straight Rigby Lined Dungaree finds it best suited to anyone who spends long hours outdoors in cooler weather and needs a durable, comfortable work pant. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a soft 2.3 ounce knit flannel lining and Rugged Flex stretch in an 8.5 ounce cotton canvas that moves with you while providing warmth and hard-wearing protection. The overall fit is relaxed through the seat and thigh and designed to sit at the waist, so these dungarees prioritize comfort during active work.

Key Features

• Canvas fabric: The 8.5 ounce, 98% cotton/2% spandex canvas offers a heavy-duty exterior that resists wear while allowing a small amount of stretch for mobility.
• Flannel lining: The 2.3 ounce 100% polyester knit flannel lining adds warmth and a soft interior feel for colder work conditions.
• Rugged Flex: Durable stretch technology lets the pant bend and move without feeling restrictive during active tasks.
• Utility pockets: A reinforced front slash pocket and a right-leg secured cell phone pocket keep tools and a phone accessible and protected on the job.
• Fit and finish: Sits at the waist with a relaxed seat and thigh and a straight leg opening designed to fit over boots for practical workwear use.

Who It's For

These dungarees are aimed at tradespeople, outdoor workers, and anyone who needs a rugged pant that stays warm in cool weather. The lined interior and sturdy canvas construction make them particularly useful for fall and winter work shifts or early mornings when temperatures are low.

Shoppers who prefer a very trim or fashion-forward silhouette should look elsewhere; the Rigby is explicitly a relaxed, functional work pant. Also consider other unlined or lighter-weight styles if you work indoors year-round and do not need extra warmth.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Warm knit flannel lining gives noticeable comfort on cold days without bulk.

• Practical pocketing, including a secured right-leg phone pocket, keeps gear organized while working.

Cons

• Fit receives mixed feedback, so sizing may require trying different sizes for the best seat and thigh comfort.
