Picture the scene: we’ve all been there, the middle of winter, the weather is coming in and the mercury is dropping, and you’ve still got that last job to finish on site before you can head indoors and warm up. Sadly, this situation is all too common for many Americans working outside in winter, and while we wish we could provide a solution for getting that job done faster, I’m afraid we’ll just have to settle for making it more bearable.
When it comes to your winter workwear, we bet you’ve got your top half covered—an extra vest, a flannel shirt, a sweater, and of course, that all important winter jacket. How about your bottom half though? Well, if you haven’t heard about the warmth and comfort of lined pants before we’re about to change your life – for the better!
It’s a well-known fact that one of the ways your body responds to cold temperatures is by constricting the blood vessels in your arms and legs, reducing blood flow to the extremities in order to protect your vital organs and head. Fair enough, but what about those legs? If you’re working on a busy site, you’ll likely be standing on them for most of the day, so why not keep them warm and comfortable. Well, that’s where All Seasons Uniform step in with our excellent range of lined work pants from the guys at Dickies, Key Industries and Berne. These hardy workwear labels make their best lined pants with flannel or fleece linings to keep your legs nice and toasty on even the most bitter winter days.
Lined pants were, after all, invented to battle the elements over a hundred years ago. In the early 1900s a retailer from Maine, by the name L.L. Bean, created the first lined pants when he needed something warm enough to wear on camping trips during the frigid winters of the North East. Since then, a number of workwear brands have adopted the style began producing fleece lined jeans—because as we know normal jeans are great for fall, but in the dead of winter, cold weather can rip right through them. Fleece lined jeans, on the other hand, keep your legs warm without looking like you’re about to hit the ski slopes.
The Best Fleece Lined Jeans – Key Industries
It should come as no surprise that the Kansas-based workwear manufacturer produces some of the best fleece lined jeans on the market. With a long history of satisfying the needs of American workers, Key’s Performance Denim, Fleece Lined Jeans are top of the range and are proudly stocked by All Seasons Uniforms. Made from a long-lasting denim blend that can withstand the toughest of conditions, the relaxed fit ensures there is no restriction of movement, and the 5oz fleece lining will keep you warm and comfortable on those frigid winter days.
The Best Flannel Lined Jeans – Dickies Carpenter Jean
Another household name when it comes to hardy workwear, Dickies have built their reputation on making top quality, durable garments for American workers over the years. And, as you’d expect the Flannel lined Carpenter Jean is no different. The lining is 100% cotton for an extra soft touch that keeps you satisfyingly warm whatever the conditions. What makes these particular jeans standout from the crowd though, is the incredibly tough heavyweight duck cotton outer layer. Made to withstand the most extreme wear and tear, duck cotton is more tightly woven than normal cotton fabric which also helps to stop that freezing wind cutting through to your skin underneath.
The Best Flannel Lined Pants – Berne Carpenter Pants
While you might imagine most flannel lined pants only being suitable for a hard day on the job, wouldn’t it be great to have a pair you could also wear out afterwards, or on weekends at home. We know our backyards can get just as chilly as an exposed construction site, which is why we love the stylish but extremely practical Berne Flannel Lined Carpenter Pant. The khaki cotton duck fabric is tough and durable yet wouldn’t look out of place at home or on a trip down to your local grocery store.
