Foo - Flannel lined work pants

Where can I get me some decent fitting ones cheap online?
(Really I just wanted to start another pants thread, cuz there's not enough already)

carhartt makes 'em

i had a pair of the carhartts.. they were awesome, but definitely not awesome if you were getting sweaty.

I had some regular carhartts. They're not really made for people with hips (girls). I can also get sweaty (ewww.) How're the dickies?

I'm just gonna go to Penney's tomorrow and see what they have. I love Penney's.

unless you are standing still or are in very cold conditions how will you not get sweaty in lined work pants?

You'll still be sweaty, but- Carhartts = canvas. Canvas + Sweat = drenched.

Just get some Dickies at a uniform store or a hardware store. If it's cold, wear tights, if it's not cold, don't wear tights. Dickies have been serving the vast majority of my pants needs for quite awhile now, and for $15-$20 a pair, you can't beat them.

Flannel lined pants = way better than pants + tights / thermals.

tights + pants > flannel lined work pants

unless you are working and not riding

have you tried long underwear?

Bass Pro. (http://shoprmall.com/bassproshops/google/) or for the more refined shopper L.L. Bean.

have you tried long underwear?

Yes. I find thermals under pants (or tights under pants) to be really bulky when riding. I'm talking about around town use; I just wear tights for longer distances. This is my fifth east coast winter, and my second using only my bike for transit, so I'm still figuring this winter clothing stuff out. I had a pair of flannel lined pants forever ago and remember liking them a lot.


Thanks for the links

Bass Pro is where it's at.

I have a pair of the jeans from there and love them. Wear them all the time in temps upto -15C and so far never been cold. Roomy as well.

I have a few pairs that I wear when I have to work out side, they're great.
Sierra Trading Post usually has some good deals on Carhartt, and other brands.

Why not think about merino wool skins under your regular jeans, they are light, warm and you can slip out of them if things warm up. The wool is completely non -itchy, stretches with movement and is machine washable. Look http://www.wool-underwear.com/html/womens_merino_wool_longjohns.html

I have found that lined jeans tend to sit in a drawer for 9 or 10 months of the year, plus they seem so bulky to wear.

Oh well, just thinking!:)

Even better - just go pure wool!

Pretty much all of my cold-weather pants needs are met by surplus wool German army pants. They even look cool.

It must be so sad to live where you have to have layers... :D

You must have a good surplus store nearby, the kind with tanks and bomb shells in front:) My skin was always a bit itchy with the hardcore stuff, but you're right, it's toasty stuff.

Shifty, I do have a good place nearby, but I've mail ordered the pants as well. the "real" German pants are not itchy at all to me, though there are PLENTY of all-wool winter pants meant for hunting and such that are terribly itchy.

German engineers do everything so well, even wool longies:D

I do believe that wool normally is not itchy - it is when they remove the lanolen (I probably spelled it wrong) that it gets unbearable.

...for the more refined shopper L.L. Bean. (http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?page=flannel-lined-double-l-jeans&categoryId=23794&storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&parentCategory=6261&cat4=6254&shop_method=pp&feat=6261-tn)

Perhaps more refined... and more expensive. But, if they don't work or aren't durable enough you know you can take them back no questions. I use their stuff (and have used that guarantee) and find it usually worth the premium you pay them.

I must admit I have a soft spot for L.L. Bean products. Perhaps it runs in the family - my great-grandfather was one of Leon's hunting buddies back in the day when he invented the "bean boot."

Agree, lanolin is a softener in wool, but also the type of animal the wool came from, and there are a lot of diferent ones. Wool from alpaca is very fine and long fibers, not itchy at all, very soft, merino wool also a thin and long fiber, so soft and durable.

See all the fun you are missing out on being in the tropics???? Don't you MISS an arctic air mass?:D

Actually, quite the opposite. I'd go nuts where you are... where the weather is, essentially, the same all year 'round. I love winter... layers and all! In fact, I'd rather have to layer because you can control how warm you are. Where you are, when it gets hot... you can only get so naked and even then you're sweating your you know whats off.

Now, this winter... well, it just plain sucks! 39 days straight of well above normal temps. No plowable snow to date. Bleh. Supposed to get some really cold air tomorrow which is OK... but still no big snow in sight.:mad:

I like their clothes as well. I was going for the snob/college hipster appeal in the post, bass pro vs. LL Bean.

Bass Pro is where it's at.
I wear bib nicks and water/windproofs. If it's really cold, I add merino wool leg warmers and fleece tights. That will keep me warm and dry well below zero F. Add two pairs of wool socks as well as neoprene boots.

Upper body: Underarmor, jersey, Quarter zip fleece, maybe a second fleece if really really cold, and a water/windproof outerlayer. Gloves are either, depending on temp, full finger riding gloves or thinsulate ski gloves over them.
