Carhartt Men's Rugged Flex Rigby Relaxed Fit Pant (Style 6DHV)

Our review of the Carhartt Men's 102291 Rugged Flex Rigby Relaxed Fit Pant finds these pants best for tradespeople and anyone who needs work-ready trousers that move with them. The single biggest reason to buy is the Rugged Flex durable stretch technology that provides noticeable mobility without sacrificing the heavy-duty feel of canvas. Built with a relaxed seat and thigh and reinforced details, these pants balance comfort and durability for daily wear on the job or around the property.

Key Features

• Rugged Flex: Durable stretch technology lets you bend and reach with less restriction, making repetitive motions easier on knees and hips.
• Relaxed fit: Sits slightly below the waist with extra room through the seat and thigh for comfort during long shifts.
• Reinforced pocket: The front slash pocket is reinforced for added durability where you load tools or carry small items most often.
• Cell phone pocket: A secured right-leg pocket keeps a phone accessible and protected while you move around a jobsite.
• Strong belt loops: Belt loops sewn on the seam increase longevity when wearing heavy belts or tucking tools into the waist.

Who It's For

These pants are aimed at men who perform manual work or spend time outdoors and need a sturdy pant with stretchability for mobility. They suit electricians, carpenters, landscapers or anyone who prefers canvas fabric with a more relaxed cut through the thigh.

Shoppers who require a slim fashion fit or who are very concerned about precise sizing should be cautious, since customer feedback notes mixed opinions on sizing and some report they run small. Those wanting a lightweight summer pant or tailored dress trousers should look elsewhere.
