I like their marketing, and their advertising, and pretty desperately wanted to like their stuff. I too am hard on pants, so when a sale offer arrived in an email I splurged on a pair of the firehose pants. They look good, fit fine, but I found a few things I didn't like. For instance, I found the pockets too short and the slash opening too low, so that the first time I got down on the ground/floor, I unloaded my pockets. I carry a treasure or two, an EDC knife I wouldn't want to lose, for one. First time on the floor of my living room when I was showing my grandson the finer points of his toy tractor - no foul, found my stuff right away. Second time in the woods rigging a log for my arch. I was lucky, I checked, and found my knife before moving the log. At that, I had my domestic partner do a fine laundry job and placed my expensive firehose pants in the bottom of my drawer, never put them on again. Recently, a store opened near enough for a visit, and my son tells me they have very interesting old tool displays, so I imagine I'll visit some rainy day. But, not likely my wallet will come out of my Tractor Supply jeans.
