Journal of Light Construction: 1620 Workwear in Massachusetts is one of the hidden gems of the construction industry. While I could begin by talking about how comfortable and durable the company’s pants are, I’d like to start with its warranty. The company backs its gear with a lifetime warranty.

In the modern age it's so difficult to tell where clothes are coming from. And usually the answer is a sweat shop somewhere overseas, and as nice as low prices can be, morally it feels wrong to support companies that employ those sorts of labor practices. However, this company seems to be the antithesis of that, it's impressive that they've managed to keep their factory in America instead of trying to raise profit margins by outsourcing somewhere else. I also really like that this company repairs clothing rather than just replacing it, that feels like the sort of thing more companies should try to do, not just because it is more sustainable, but because I personally feel a deep connection to articles of clothing that I enjoy and would much rather sew up a seam rather than getting a new uninitiated piece of clothing. So, despite being $300 this person does seem to think these pants are worth it.
Working in theater and dealing with the amount of tools and hardware that you need to carry around I know the importance of have some good cargo or tech pants. I sometimes struggle to find ones that have the right pockets, fit me, and are durable enough for the job. From this article it is clear to see that I have been given a more than decent choice that satisfies all my qualifications. Unfortunately though this is at the cost of price. The tech and cargo pants I have now are good enough to get the job done without breaking the bank, but I have had them tear on occasion. The ones I have now are around thirty to fifty dollars, and maybe putting in more of an investment isn’t a bad idea. The issue is I don’t know if I can justify dropping three hundred dollars on one pair of pants as a college student.
