these pants are Patagonia Iron Forge hemp ones that I just got. Spent my weekend setting posts and framing up a new fence and did some trail work. They are the most comfortable work pants I've ever worn- really ergonomic cut and the cuffs are loose enough to move up and down without getting caught under my heel. Seem pretty friggin durable, and they are HEAVY. For hard work only, these are not good for hanging out in. Still better than Carhartts tho. They produce an all season version, which I also picked up, that are much lighter and more practical for lighter duty stuff. If you like heavy duty pants made from hemp in a more or less ethical fashion, but in a more practical cut for urban use, there's a cargo pocket version and a more traditional jean type
