Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to the Carhartt Men's Relaxed Straight Rigby Pant, the Riggs Workwear Ranger provides more pocket configurations and a slightly heavier canvas weight. These are less expensive than the Truewerk T2 WerkPant, making them a great value for budget-conscious professionals who need full cotton durability.

What to know before buying

1. Break in the pants by wearing them for a few days — the heavy canvas will soften over time.
2. Use the ruler pocket for pencils, small tools, or a smartphone.
3. Machine wash cold and line dry to prevent shrinkage and preserve fabric integrity.
4. The straight-leg fit accommodates work boots without bunching.
5. Check the size chart for inseam length to ensure proper hem clearance over boots.
