    Depends on your size.
    I've got very chunky legs and find dickies and snickers quite snug. I've just got a couple of pairs scruffs from screwfix at 40 quid each for the top ones. Loads of room in them and pockets everywhere. Plenty of space for the knee pad inserts too.
    I do a lot of plumbing, joinery work, kitchens etc too so they're perfect for me. They also do some dickies safety trainers for about 22 quid, very comfy and last a while.
    They've got a big range at the moment and are local for me. Ebay is pretty good too, I got 10 mixed pairs of work trousers about 2 years ago for about 15 quid delivered. Still use half of them now.

    get tesco jeans and paint them up with anything you've got in the shed you never know what you find in shd. Always a suprise in their. maybe some creosoht for the fence. Plan a design on paper and then become painting on the jeans. customer could fall a faint with smell but you save £20 mr. for boots they will get adhesiv and grout on them after a day so buy the cheapst
