I've had to get longer inseams and then have the pant legs hemed to the correct length. It's an added cost but you can find places that do it for a very reasonable price.
Another vote for these. (I'm a 501 refugee).My street/office jeans were too light for wearing in the brush; they would wear out fast and any thorns/briars would go right through them. I didn't want to wear my Carhartt bibs because they are insulated and too hot in the summer.
So I tried these:
Wrangler® RIGGS Workwear® Ripstop Ranger Pant | Wrangler
They have reinforced (extra layer) knees and other reinforcements and they deflect thorns/briars (so far). The loops are much larger than my jeans. They seem pretty tough and heavy duty to me.
I found them in Bimart who has a sale on them from time to time, but I got more pairs from Working Person's (online) because Bimart only carried a 30" inseam for my waist size and I need a 32" inseam.
I intend to apply a "tin cloth" (oilskin) to the pants to make them water resistant and even tougher.
YMMV
Livin' free, below the knee !I've found the best type of new pants are..........short pants, also known as shorts

Carhart are too stiff for me and it takes forever for them to soften up. I noticed at the end of the day my legs were worn out humping stairs and ladders while wearing those. So no more.Here's the story:
Have worn carheart jeans for going on 17 years now.
I switched because I was wearing out Levi's and wranglers every year.
I have carhearts that have held up too heavy use for 3+ years and am happy with sticking with them.
However, I'm curious if there are better pants (cargo cut is preferred) like the 5.11 or another brand.
I can get carhearts for under $35-40 and don't want to spend a ton more but would like something that won't fall apart while wearing a 1911 and 2 mags on my belt.
ALSO, most of the nice gun belts won't fit in the loops on my jeans so I'm stuck wearing sub par belts.
I wouldn't mind some suggestions on belts either.
Thanks, Y'all .

The best I have found for me are Wrangler Competition 20X
They are a bit expensive at ~$50 but nice enough for both work and clubbing on Saturday night..lol

If you carry a lighter weapon and purchase a nice 1-1/4'' heavy leather belt and a light holster you can ware any brand of paints you wish and no one will be the wiser.

Geeze Joe, were gonna need to have a "Fashion" forum now aren't we?
Grown men talking about stretch pants. What's the world coming to!?
Can someone recommend a good boxer brief that breathes
Tactical look doesn't bother me - I've got a beard and attitude to go with it lol, as long as they aren't in hunting camo colors, but seriously I'm not worried about it.
Wranglers are the ones that I bought and had the belt loop break as soon as I strapped a gun on it.
