CarharttMen's 102291 Rugged Flex® Rigby Relaxed Fit Pant

I bought one as a trial. Then I bought 4 more. I actually use these for everyday use. I LOVE the side pocket, fits my large phone perfectly, and super easy to put in and take out. (I think if you go to an area that has a high pickpocket rate, don't use that pocket). It will not fall out, and feels very secure.The pants are super comfortable. Not the most stylish, my son makes fun of me because they are a bit baggy. Who cares, I live in them and work in an office environment. So while they are on the "casual" side, they are nice enough that I feel dignified. Certainly better than jeans, not as formal as dockers.I did start removing the back pocket tag, it's small but very contrasty and visible in the middle of the pocket. But do it as soon as you get it, or you will end up with a small differently colored square over time.Edit: It's now 6 years later and I only wear these, all day, all year. I have bought about 14 pairs so far. Comfortable, and had the best phone pocket. I use them for everyday office and I also work as a field service guy (lab equipment). These are a great cross between "just good enough for office and meetings", and tough enough for my active days. Caveat: Over time, the seat area gets looking bad. The ones that age the best are the grey/pebble ones. The dark blue or black, look awesome while they are new, but age quicker. For me, when they start looking bad, I downgrade them to workshop use.

These are great pants. Light weight but enough for work. Summer will be great. They do shrink 1 full size in length and in waist! They sit just below waist so you won't have sagging pants. Pockets are perfect and deep. Leg pocket does fit phone and has a upper inner overhang to enclose phones or small items.

The material is tough will not rip,snag, They are great for work. And as they age they are softer and I have two pair that have 3 years at work and know are pants for outside work at home. Value absolutely. The extra pocket can hold phone’s

Good fit, good quality and they look good--kind of pricey though. I'm retired and wear them instead of jeans when I want to be a little dressier. I bought my first pair a year ago and just picked up a second pair in a different color.

These are super nice. They are a little 90s on the relaxed fit, but I’m glad someone is still doing it. Very high quality. Definitely worth the dough.Update: I was wrong. The relaxed fit isn’t 90s at all. I noticed a post from another poster on the regular fits. The person mentioned “darts”. Indeed, these sewn in darts are there even on the relaxed fit, and they are well done and tough. So, what’s really going on is Carhartt has their own thing going on here, and it’s not 90s. These are badass structured pants that would make 80s BDUs look like they came from K-Mart. They also laugh off a hot steaming iron. Good. Job. Carhartt!Final Update: Just got the straight fit. Incredibly nice. The darts define the knees so that the pant articulates with movement. I think I have a way to make the sizing work for everyone.Having worn both patterns, I’d go with a size up in waist with both. Stick to your regular inseam length. Otherwise:Straight Fit = Sex Pistols.Relaxed Fit = Pearl Jam.I’m “Sex Pistols” right now, but things might turn “Pearl Jam” due to the possibility of unforeseen and abrupt changes in caloric intake in the future.Ultimate Update:After all is said and done, and after wearing both patterns for a while now, I think I finally understand. Theses pants are evil.Anyone that has worn them for awhile will have to agree. They are great and I’m totally keeping them, they solve all sorts of problems I didn’t even know I had, but yeah…

I purchase a balanced amount of products between brick and mortar stores and online. Plenty of stores carry Carhartt clothing but no one close to me carries the Carhartt Flex Rigby with the exception of Academy, and only in the camo/mossy oak color. So of course I went there to at least verify what size in the Flex Rigby would work. For those who care, even though I didn't purchase these pants from Academy, I did purchase other items that day. I ordered these from Amazon in size 33x30. The waist is perfect and as expected; it seems identical to multiple pairs of Levi's 559's I have. The length was a surprise, as it's closer to a 32 than a 30 if comparing to the same Levi's. The size of the leg opening at the bottom is 17 13/16", and nearly identical to the Levi's 559 as well, which is to say just right for not swallowing tennis shoes but still open enough to easily fit over a work boot. The leg portion fit is more like a "normal" (read not skinny jeans) pair of jeans and are also not so large that you feel like your wearing a sumo suit. The flex at first wasn't that noticeable, but that's only because it's just the right amount and not overdone to a point you feel like your wearing spandex. The flex is definitely a great feature though and one that's immediately realized once you put on a "non-flex" pair of jeans. The feel of the material is closer to your regular blue jeans, and not stiff or "scratchy" like the ripstop or heavy duty work pants. The side cellphone pocket; it'll fit a Samsung Galaxy in an Otterbox case by the way. I think the picture for the dark khakis is incorrect as in person the dark khakis is as one would probably expect, which is darker than the pair shown in the picture. I hope they wear as well as the Carhartt cargo ripstops, which are very similar in the fit. Of course where they're made can make a difference in the sizing, but the 33x30's in Dark Khakis seem to be a winner, even if a touch on the long side.UPDATE: 1/20/19 - The pants have been worn close to once a week since purchase, and although not subjected to harsh work environments, they've worn great. Belt loops still in tact, top corners of rear pockets show no signs of wearing through or pulling apart, and the fit seems to be the same and with no noticeable signs of wearing in any stress areas.

fit and wear great
