Quality Mens Pants at Allingtons

Men's pants for the work week and the days either side of it, from stretch drill on the tools to moleskins for a country lunch.

Men's Pants Built for the Tools

The bulk of this range is work gear, and it's deep. FXD carries the most styles, running from a straightforward cotton drill pant through to stretch, ripstop and elastic-waist versions in both straight and cuffed legs.

Hard Yakka brings its long-standing drill and stretch canvas pants alongside it, and a handful of other workwear labels fill in around the two with cargo, rib-waist and cooler-weave options. Cargo styles run right through the range if you'd rather carry tools on your leg than in a belt, and several styles carry reflective or taped detailing for low-light work.

Colours stay sensible - black, navy, khaki, charcoal, green and tan - because these pants are going to see dirt. Check the individual listing for reflective or protective features rather than assuming them across the range.

Moleskins and the Smarter End of the Range

Not every pair here is for the worksite. Thomas Cook moleskin trousers sit in this range too, in both standard and tailored cuts, in sand, greystone and navy. They're the pair to reach for when jeans would be underdressed and a suit would be over the top - a country wedding, the races, or dinner in town.

If you're after men's chinos or a pair of cords instead, those sit in men's casual pants, which is the non-workwear side of the same range.

Getting the Fit and Length Right

Most pants for men are sized for standing around rather than working, which is why fit matters more here than on a casual pair. Buy for the waist and sort the length afterwards - taking up a hem is simple, letting out a waistband isn't. For length, measure the inseam on a pair you already like, from the crotch seam down to the hem, and match that instead of guessing.

If you're between two sizes and your day involves squatting, kneeling or climbing, take the larger one: a pair that pulls through the thigh gives way at the seam long before the fabric wears out. Cuffed legs are worth considering if you wear a taller work boot, since the tapered hem sits over the boot rather than dragging through the yard.

Men's and Women's Pants for the Same Crew

Plenty of teams need both, and mismatched gear is a nuisance to order and worse to wear. The women's pants range runs on the same logic - work pants cut properly for women rather than resized down from a men's block, alongside unisex tactical styles that appear on both sides. A crew can kit out together and everyone still gets a pair that fits.

Order Your Next Pair of Men's Pants

All of it sits within our wider pants range and is ready to order online, with free shipping Australia-wide once you pass $175. A quick call about sizing beats a return, and if you'd sooner feel the difference between stretch drill and standard cotton in person, the Parafield showroom has both on the rack.

Frequently asked questions

What types of men's pants does Allingtons stock beyond jeans?

Beyond jeans, we carry chinos, moleskins, cotton-drill and cargo trousers, and work pants, from brands like Thomas Cook, Wrangler and Pure Western. They cover smart-casual through to hard-wearing outdoor and work use.

What is the difference between chinos and moleskins for men?

Chinos are made from smooth cotton-twill for a lightweight, smart-casual look that's great year-round. Moleskins are a densely woven, brushed cotton that's thicker, softer and more rugged, with a warm feel that suits cooler weather and country life. Chinos are lighter and dressier; moleskins are warmer, tougher and a country classic.

How do I choose the right fit in men's country pants?

Decide between a regular fit (roomier through the seat and thigh, the traditional country choice) and a slim or tailored fit (closer to the leg). Make sure there's comfortable room to move for work, and check both the waist and leg length on the size chart. Fits vary by brand, so use the specific chart.

What fabrics are best for men's pants in Australian conditions?

It depends on the season and use. Cotton chinos and drill are breathable and versatile for warmer weather; moleskin offers warmth and durability for cooler months and country work; and stretch-cotton blends add all-day comfort. For tough outdoor jobs, hard-wearing cotton drill and canvas hold up best.

Can men's country pants be worn for both farm work and smart-casual occasions?

Yes – that versatility is part of their appeal. Moleskins and chinos in particular look smart enough for the pub, dinner or race days, yet are tough and comfortable enough for everyday work around the property. A clean pair with a collared shirt and boots dresses up easily.

How do I find the right leg length when ordering men's pants online?

Measure the inseam (inner leg from crotch to hem) of a pair that fits you well and compare it to the size chart, or measure your inside leg directly. Many country pants come in regular and long leg lengths. If you wear boots, allow enough length for the hem to sit neatly over them. Check the specific chart, as sizing varies by brand.
