Carhartt Men's Rugged Flex Rigby Relaxed Fit Pant (Style WLH9)

In this review the Carhartt Men's 102291 Rugged Flex Rigby Relaxed Fit Pant is recommended for workers and anyone who needs a tough everyday pant that still allows movement. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of durable canvas and a hint of stretch that keeps the pant comfortable on the job; the fabric holds up while the Rugged Flex construction provides mobility for bending, climbing or crouching. Fit is relaxed through the seat and thigh and the reinforced front slash pocket and right-leg cell phone pocket add practical durability and function.

Key Features

• Fabric: 8-ounce, 98% cotton/2% spandex canvas offers a rugged feel with just enough give for comfortable movement all day.
• Fit: Sits at the waist with a relaxed seat and thigh to provide room to move without feeling baggy at the waist.
• Stretch technology: Rugged Flex durable stretch delivers mobility for work tasks that require bending and reaching.
• Pockets: Reinforced front slash pocket and a right-leg secured cell phone pocket keep tools and devices accessible and protected.
• Construction: Belt loops sewn on the seam and reinforced areas increase longevity under heavy use.

Who It's For

The Rigby relaxed fit pant is best for tradespeople, contractors, and outdoors workers who want canvas durability but need some flexibility for movement. It also suits anyone who prefers a straight leg with extra room through the seat and thigh and wants practical pocketing for a phone or small tools.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need a very loose carpenter-style fit or a modern slim cut; some customers report mixed sizing so anyone who requires a precise, true-to-size fit may prefer trying them on in person first.
