Proper Canvas Work Pant

I am a general contractor, and really wanted to love these Devium work pant — in a lot of ways, I do. They’re incredibly comfortable right out of the gate, with a stretch that genuinely stands out. For long days on your feet or constantly moving, they feel great, and the deep pockets are a clear plus for carrying tools or everyday items. There’s a lot of promise here, and the foundation of a great pair of work pants is definitely present. Not to mention, you look great. That said, there are some design choices that hold them back from being as functional as they could be. The fit runs quite long—I had to hem mine about 3” and I’m 6’ tall — and got a 30x30. There is no practical purpose for the pants being this long. The fabric, while comfortable, tends to attract and hold onto hair (like cat hair) more than any other piece of clothing I own - which can be frustrating depending on your environment. If you have pets it’s worth considering this. In comparison, my Carhartt pants do not hold onto any pet hair. From a utility standpoint, a few things could be improved. The double pocket setup on the left side feels like a missed opportunity—it would be far more practical on the right side, or ideally on both sides for better accessibility. Similarly, the side pockets sit way too low, especially on the right side where it falls just above the knee. This makes it awkward to access items like my utility knife and uncomfortable to carry anything with weight. The tool loop on the right side also feels unnecessary—it tends to get in the way more than it helps. You really only need one tool loop on a pair of pants, and that’s generally situated on the left side. Small hardware issues popped up early on as well: the zipper got stuck frequently during the first few weeks (and still happens from time to time) and I’ve already started to notice some moderate fraying along the seams (after 3 months) which raises questions about long-term durability. I have serious doubt about these pants truly holding up for a year let’s say, of everyday work. One other thing to note is that the pants do shrink a bit after washing, so sizing with that in mind would be wise. Overall, these pants strike a great balance in comfort and have some thoughtful features, but they’d benefit from a few practical adjustments to really meet the demands of everyday work use. With some refinements, they could easily become an unbeatable pair of pants.

I love these. I love how they’re American made. They are loose fitting utility pockets on both sides. Perfect little flat spot on both pocket’s to clip your knife.

Really impressed with comfort and quality of pants. Only issue is inseam is quite long, I am 5’ 11” and will need to get pants hemmed or have to do two thick cuffs (still have lots of contact with shoes when cuffed)
