looking for affordable mtm pants for shop work and everyday use
hey, i'm a college student in need of a new wardrobe, and i'd like to find a few different pairs of pants. my measurements are 30 waist/36 inseam, and i live in central north carolina. i would prefer to shop in person if possible but I know it's unlikely. also, i'm quite new to menswear and nicer clothes in general, so i'd love any other recommendations you have as well, this is all a bit overwhelming and i'm not sure where to start in terms of looking.
first of all i'd like some more rugged ones i can use in the scene shop that can stand up to plenty of carpentry and paint, and won't be too hot. i'm not too much of a jeans guy, i'm not opposed to them but i would prefer something like carpenters pants or similar. i'd also like to find some slacks/chinos etc that i can wear when i'm not in the shop, hopefully a bit nicer and more comfortable.
for some reference on what sort of things i like, i took a peek at a couple websites. these pants from scott fraser really stood out to me. not looking for anything super fancy, mostly looking for something classy and understated, i guess. i like jewel tones and natural colors, mostly, as well as black of course. i have struggled to find stuff with a high enough rise from more mainstream clothing stores, no idea if that will be a problem here. in terms of budget, i'd prefer to stay in the $100-$200 range (per pair of pants) as much as possible, although for something exceptional i might go a bit outside of that.
