I know why they keep sending you new pants. They take your old pair, clean them up and sell them to Hipsters for twice the price.
Sounds about right..
“Kieran! Check out these vintage pants, bro!”
“Duuuude…”
This is why hipsters are secretly good, annoying yes but stuff like this wouldn't be made anymore without them buying them and happily overpaying.
@@Jrock420blam Kind of similar to the wealthy in general, people may roll their eyes at the extravagant excess but it keeps their wealth flowing back into the public at large, I mean would you prefer if they just kept their fortune horded in a vault like a mythological dragon.
Their analyzing the pants to improve the product or see where they can cut corners. That data is worth the cost of a pair. Their cost, that is.
I just watched 18 minutes of a guy talking about his pants, but have no regrets. Keep up the great content!

LOL
Had me hooked. Definitely a leg up on the competition
that just means he's really confident about his trousers!

Yeah, we could have used them for those 4 days of below 60 freak cold snap we got in February.
Lol for real as soon it hits march its shorts time with a gun in the fanny pack boiss in 25 I been wearing a fanny pack to conceal carry since I was 22 because it was to damn hot to carry while wearing pants and long sleeves my 21 year old wanna be kool kid dint under stand being comfortable
That’s Exactly what I thought. I’m from the Southeast Texas area, it hardly gets colder than 55 in winter
I'm gonna buy a pair for clubbing.
Seal clubbing?
@Ben Dover I wouldn't feel a thing because im wearing metal pants nerd
@Ben Dover diamond crusted metal?
@Ben Dover This has been fun but you know i was referencing going to clubs and not clubbing seals yeah?
Be careful man, women will be throwing themselves at you, they can't resist tin pants. Tin pants directly led to my divorce.
I've been wearing tin cloth for about 15 years....my wife thinks they are gross, and I love them. I have a few pairs and a couple of the overalls....I farm for a living and its nice to have clothing that actually stands up to daily challenges. keep up the good videos.
they sound gross

Get a pair of cut resistant pants and they will last a very long time. The pair I bought, I can literally take a new box cutter blade and slash the pants and nothing. And because they are made out of synthetic fibers (maybe have some fiberglass fibers too?), they dry fast. I will say, they are not the best for winter though, because they are pretty breathable and the material is pretty thermally conductive. You can feel the heat pass right through them.
But, you can wash them, and don't have to wax them.
If you don't mind me asking. How long do they typically last you?
I am a biologist and have been working in the forest industry in northern BC for a few years. Several years ago I found a pair of Redhead Bone-Dry pants from the ~70s that look nearly identical to these. I waxed them with beeswax and oiled them lightly and wear them in the winter over merino leggings. I work 10-12 hour days, often in knee-deep snow, and down to -30C. If it's any colder usually we find other things that need to get done...
They are incredible.
I stay warm and they are relatively waterproof, especially when they are just required to shrug off snow. They maintain mobility, while snowpants (or similar) are awful to walk long distances in. Construction workers laugh at me, but foresters are always interested. They tend to wear the old school army surplus wool pants. Personally, I don't like how those clump snow at the hem, but hats off to functional and traditional clothing.
If you are in the outdoors often and need a hard-wearing pant year-round, but especially in the winter, go find a pair of rugged pants with a tightly-woven cotton canvas (this allows it to hold the wax/oil effectively). You won't regret it!
"Metal pants" "Tin pants" hmph I'm interested in these metal pants.
"they're made out of cloth" "they feel like tin" well geez, thats disappointing
Zachary Barkey company naked and famous make Kevlar denim and they’ve made stainless steel denim in the past
Wranglerstar is slightly "challenged".
Wranglerstar, never heard of her@@Frankovelli
It's tin-cloth weave. So it's not entirely correct to call them metal, but not incorrect.
Don't be stupid
As a teenager I accidently made a pair of my own when I worked at a Fine Furniture store as a wood finisher. I discovered it after spilling a pot of parafin wax on an old pair of Naval service pants that I used . They became my go to work pants.

Pulls up a stool and pulls off his pants... My grandfather used to do that all the time. I miss his pantless lectures and musings.
😧👏🏼
You are going to learn something today.
If I were Filson and I saw this, I'd send you a big box of them for making this video.
Don't feel bad dude.
I'm literally about to order some now. If they last Cody for a year then I'll at least get 2 - 3 years out of mine. So... if I get 66 bucks worth out of pants for 3 years then they are worth it for me.
To think that tag was hanging in there the whole time through the journey of these pants, only to be ripped off without a thought for the video.
It's stupid but I felt for that tag.
ThatBugBehindYou I thought the exact same thing!! As he kept pulling on I am saying to myself is he going to rip it off?? And kept thinking “Nooooooooo don’t do it!!!”
Too late.
Lol. Same.....
Cody, I would not worry about the pants that Filson sent. You just paid Filson back for all those pants with this one video.
True, advertising is expensive. You could receive a lifetime's worth of pants and still have saved them money.
Absolutely the hipsters call them style leaders
I gotta know. Were you not wearing pants for half the video?
I would say it was closer to 3/4 of the video. All of those careful above the waist shots after the intro have got to be telling. Commando Cody in the shop reviewing pants!
You beat me to the question. I came down here as soon as he slapped them on the bench lol.

I’ll be giving these pants a try.
Thanks for the great review 🧱
My specialty is being a tugboat Captain in the off shore dredge industry many year’s ago I switched to carhart black bib overhauls and I destroy two to three pair a year. My new found second industry is logging and your tips and advice for gear is very good information thank you and keep up the great videos! God bless you and your family Cody your what we all need to see more of.
Well, it's Friday night and my wife just came into my office and saw me watching a video about an old pair of pants. She says I need help. Great stuff, Mr. W.!
I love my pair of double tins with the suspenders. Worth every penny. Thanks Cody for reviewing these years ago in an older video. A couple years back, I called Filson and ordered a dog coat. The salesman asked what kind of dog it was for and seemed like he cared. The coat came right away as always and was a good fit. Six months later, we got a Filson card in the mail from that same salesman asking if our German Shepard puppy grew in to the coat ok and hoped all was well! What other company would do that! Anyway folks, I would have liked to get down to Boston from Maine this week to hang out at the meet and greet but have work engagements. Have safe travels and hope you make it out this way again. Cheers
That’s so funny that they just seriously keep sending you pants. They might just really appreciate your use of the pants all the way through.
Or he might have become a beta-tester unknowingly. I mean, he subjects them to real-life wear-and-tear, so they might analyze that and improve things. Since he only has 2 pairs, I guess they either first make small tweaks and give him a version with the latest pair's wear taken into account, or a version with last year's pair's wear taken into account.
We went on vacation specifically to Seattle so I could visit the flagship store and buy my first tin. Loved the store and the antique decor, especially the chainsaw at the front door. They have a department (of 1 employee when we were there) who’s sole purpose was repurposing old worn out items and giving them a 2nd life either for the existing owner, or for resale, brilliant. It was pretty cool to see what this young guy had created. I can’t believe how worn you get yours in a year, but rest assured I’m sure some part of your pants live on :)

Bought a Double Mac wool coat 22 yrs ago, have worn it to work in ‘part of’ every Winter in Michigan. Have been in a 12” snowfall in 11 hr work day, ice crystals on outside- DRY on inside. Never cleaned- just brush off the dirt!
That's the way to wear them

I honestly really enjoy the authenticity of your videos man, keep up the solid work
Being able to watch videos like these really shows how much our brains like to absorb knowledge.
I will say, if I ever need a pair of heavy work pants, Filson are it. And instead of cutting you off, they should sponsor you and send you all the gear you need, this is a 20 minute ad for their awesome stuff!
I bet when you "take a knee" you tend to land on your left more often than your right. A left handed person would probably be the other way around.
I'd love to hear if Filson hears about your video and responds. I don't think you've done anything wrong, a guarantee is what it is and it's awesome that they honor it.
rjtumble my thoughts exactly
for some reason I thought he was left handed. Me being a right handed person, I think I kneel down on my right knee.... but of course, once you actually start thinking about it, you question yourself
interesting, I´m right handed and I tend to take my right knee so I have more mobility with my right arm... I don´t know for sure, is Cody right or left handed?
Yeah, maybe I'm just assuming everyone is like me. I tend to have my left knee down.
Same here right-handed n I take my right knee! I think Cody is right-handed... at least he hammers with his right hand
This is one of my favorite videos you have made. Thos whole video is great
Been obsessively been watching your cheapest Amazon vids and I kept wondering about these pants. Glad you have already made a video. Keep up the great work.
When I watch your videos I love how you tell a story as well as reviewing
I just wanted to throw in my two cents. I have also worn the same pair of pants for about a year and a half. I have had wear and tear to what Cody has experienced. I also live in the NW and they do the job for just about everything. I personally have no issue wearing them in the summer, but that might just be me. These pants are bulletproof and i would recommend them to anyone who does any work outside and need a pair of pants that keep up. I have done landscaping, pressure washing, hunting,rough framing work, you name it I have done it in these pants and they stand the test. They are expensive and require some maintenance of re-application of wax but well worth it. Thanks so much Cody!
Fsocla CA I'm sold, tired of buying Carhartt jeans thanks for your 2 cents BTW P.N.Wet native here haha
My grandpa has had the same double tin pants since before I was born and now that I have joined his logging business I wear them to, and I can sure say in the Cold logging season in minnesota these pants keep me very warm
Very good and honest report. Love a company that truly stands behind their product. You've made me a fan.
Buck does the same thing basically. I have had this old Buck Titanium for eons and broke the point off doing something stupid.
Went to the shop I bought it from and asked them replace the blade, no matter the cost. They sent it to Buck in the States (I live in the Netherlands!) and I got it back in 6 days, with a new blade, at NO COST! Now THAT is customer service!
A tip for tin pants. cut the cuffs out a bit. Buy sail canvas thread. And use the extra material to patch knees as needed. Wax can be rubbed into the patchwork. I used to get a second season out of the pants as a spare pair. Filson is charging made in the usa prices. But only the tin wear is still made here. Tin wear is great for people who actually work.
DB Stupid i
I enjoy these videos. Its always been hard for me to find good working clothes so its nice to hear people are still selling these things
So you probably just sold more Filson pants and jackets than any of their salesmen ever have..
Not only that, but also the profits from those sales paid for many times more pairs than he used.
@Rogeball PB
Only people who live and work outdoors.
@Rogeball PB I would beg to differ can’t seem to find these anywhere in certain sizes
@@joshuakeeler82 never heard of these I personally wear Wrangler riggs
@@bryanmartinez6600
I'd say these are wet weather pants.
No one wants to wear wax in Texas or Missouri.
who else thought the pants were actually metal 😂
I mean, you could put some thin metal plating between the layers, it's not that hard to do and your thighs are gonna be safe from anyone or anything hitting them
Well the title _does say_ "why I wear metal pants", not tin pants.

Well worth the watch. "Size up" is great advice.
They're using your old pants for research and development
That was a joke but they may well be....
@@andrewyork3869 To be honest, he might have become a beta-tester unknowingly. After all, they don't need to pay him to test those pants in real-life conditions, so even if they have to wait a year for a pair to be worn-out, they do get the pairs back for analyzing. And, who knows, maybe they sent him a different product than the one he initially bought, part of the same family/style of products. He said he explained some things to them, so they might know he's a logger and what his requirements are (like without the folded-over part on the bottom), so they might have changed the product slightly, to improve the parts which were lacking.
The left knee decayed faster probably because it's the knee you kneel on the ground with

I knew some of your gear must be filson! Love their stuff - especially their tin cloth bags and shirts. Great to hear the back story into filson and how the gear is intended to be used.
I am a hipster and I've been wearing these pants since 1896.
So you’re like almost 130 years old?
No, you are definitely Dracula.
bovko I was the first miner to wear some of these pants in the gold rush.
I invented those pants.
Cool story bro
ive had a pair of these for about 3 years that i got from my father, i use them over my coveralls in the winter time when it gets subzero. man are they nice!!
Honest my man...one year!?!? That is unbelievable!!!Hard working man right here...
The hole at the bottom of the double-front of the pant also allows you to install knee pads that stay in there, even through wash & dry. I added these knee pads to all of my Carhartt work pants and it makes a huge comfort/safety difference. Always ready & way better than traditional knee pads that have straps that dig into the back of your legs. Roll up knee pads tight & wrap 4-5 times around with a shoelace to keep tightly rolled, DO NOT TIE. Insert knee pad, then wiggle shoelace from around knee pad and your set, you'll never want to live without them!
That is an amazing idea and I have never heard of it! We sell Christmas trees and I hate toting around knee pads. Now I'm going to insert them into my heavy waxed Carhart overalls!
Gross. I don't think Jack will take them as an inheritance or heirloom. With Jack saying to his kids. "You can still smell your grandpa in these"
Actually, I still own a coat that belonged to my Father, he is long gone by the way, died in 1987 and was born in 1936, no telling exactly how old that coat is.
There's kinda a difference between a coat and a pair of work pants
Nah nope your name says it all
You see that stain there son? That's from when your grandpa told me to pull his finger.
Yay! Sweaty old ball pants! With 5 pounds of oil in em too! Hurray!

Try out Iron heart jeans. YOU WILL NEVER GO BACK. You do not miss the price very much between iron heart and filson. It is originally a company from England. However, they have a American store in the North east called "self edge" the filson pants you wear are 15 oz fabric. The standard of iron heart is 21 oz. I have a pair that is made to get stronger the longer you wear them. My pair started out as 21 oz jeans, I have worn them for two years and they are now 23 oz jeans. NO holes or signs of wear, short of discoloration. They also do custom sizing for your person. It is like buying custom boots like nicks just in jean form.
Pretty sure it's a Japanese company.. Which is even better considering Japan and Germany are synonymous with "over" engineered products.... "The Axis of Quality Manufacturing" but what do you expect from two small countries that were pretty close to conquering the globe... Kinda sad in a way, like an underdog story with a shitty ending.
@@Absentimental34 Japan is interesting too as they seem to have an infatuation with Americana ever since WWII ended. Even the Red Wing heritage line basically started due to Japanese demand.

I have a final for my class at 8 in the morning. Stalled on studying to watch a story about a man's pair of pants. Well worth it.
Good story! lol. I might have to pick up a pair of these! Just subscribed! Killer content!
Filson has replaced worn out garments at no charge for me as well. Now, I actually keep two pair of everything. One pair is for hard work and the other strictly for rain and snow repellency and I try to keep them fairly nice. Their wool is first class and very warm. Instead of Filson wax you can use otterwax. Just as good and a lot cheaper.
Did you have to send proof of purchase?

I remember watching this video when it came out this was about the time I was looking for a short cruiser. I love that jacket, the material in general it's extremely durable. I didn't end up getting the filson jacket but I got a Jacket made by Rogue Territory, their Waxed supply jacket. Very similar in construction but it's a more modern look. If you haven't seen it I definitely recommend taking a look at it.

Love your show, speaking of Tinny when you’re in the woodshop your voice seems to be a little tinny at times like your mike isn’t picking up correctly or there’s a small echo. Keep up the great work
local saw shops carry these products and alot of times can sell for cheaper than filson directly. I paid 174.99 at madsens saw shop in Centralia wa. and my co worker recently bought a pair at harbor saw in grays harbor for the same price. if the wax is not in the pocket call the seller out all pants and jackets come from the factory with wax in the pocket. if you take care of them and only wear them on rainy days they can last for years. I climb 🌲's for a living and tin pants are my year round rain gear in the pnw. most saw shops sell tear mender as well. it works great for tears and you can even use it on the bottom cuffs after you cut them to desired length and it will keep them from being all stringy and getting shorter.... but allow them to tear if you need them to tear because of a branch or a stub out in the brush. I put my pants to the test every rainy day and they last and last. good video love the channel.
Something that I really love recently is the ratchet belt, it gives you infinite adjustability and a way forward for casual and weight carrying tightness for belt tools, pocket knives or a light firearm.
I’ve never heard of these pants before, but now I’ll look into grabbing a pair. 👏🏾 Thanks.
I am an avid outdoorsmen and do cut some firewood to load my roommates outdoor wood burner for the cabin. I have never heard of these and am stoked to learn about quality, hard use apparel. I believe in using what I buy so why not go for the best. We are in Indiana and while there is logging here its primarily farmland. I drive a used vehicle too avoid the payment so I can buy quality craftsmanship to make my work, hobbies, and hell... just everyday life that much more enjoyable. I’m not rich but I have a good life because of learning to do it more simple.
Me: just one more video.
Two AM: this
"Pro tip"--to stop a hole or tear from growing in Levies and similar canvas cloth or even cotton shirt, try working in a little silicone sealer around edges, preferably clear type on the inside so it doesn't show. It only takes a few dabs. This will prevent fraying in successive washes, etc., and even patch some abraded areas or you can use a scrap of denim to patch hole or cut by gluing piece on inside. It will last as long as the garment and retain flexibility. (the bottom of his frayed britches reminded me)
My grandpa did this but his jeans slowly turned into more patch than jean.
@@lincs4lifeI had a pair of jeans for a few years and when the knee finally tore I patched it, not long after the other knee and several other places got holes and I thought 'Well I already did one knee, might as well go the whole way'
Never again
Wish I would’ve seen this at the beginning of winter. Looks like I’ll be buying a pair before next winter.

Fun Fact:
When Wrist Watches became a thing, because they had to be smaller and lighter for a wristband men saw them as too feminine and stuck with pocket watches for a few more decades. :P
I have a collection of Pocket watches, the craftmanship and quality on them is crazy. But that's why they still wind and work 200+ years later
wrist watches were seen as the feminine alternative to a pocket watch, WW1 changed that thinking as wrist watches were more secure and enclosed to keep more debris and moisture out of the action. Also less desirable as loot than a pocket watch would be
Grandpa taught us about cutting seam off all the jeans (pants) when working in the woods.
In the logging camps they lay the new ones over a log and chop it off with sharp axe.
I love Tin pants. Back in 2008 I bought a pair of Cabelas Tin "waterproof Hunting Pants" for bird hunting. They are almost identical to these yours, however the double knee starts mid thigh and goes to the bottom of the boot leg as the reinforced area is to act more as a chap. The bottoms are hemmed in leather. I would used them hard through Oct and Nov hunting and then ice fishing from late Dec - March. An auger blade did catch them once so they have a few gashes and a little wear in the crotch. They got set aside for a year and I found them COVERED in mildew. Lucky for me, soaking in white vinegar for 45 min, a heavy hot wash cycle with bleach and they were almost as good as new. Didnt have any pants wax, but paraffin canning wax ... heating and brushing on and going over with a hair drier made them just like new. Cabelas also has a "lifetime" or had... guarantee on their brand clothing but they no longer make them from what I can see in my store. :(
I love the honesty in your videos. Hope Filson stays more true to their roots than Pendleton and Carhartt, who are now making nearly everything offshore.
Smooth Rider most carhartt stuff (not hats and such) are made in Madisonville, KY
Some of the best carhartt stuff comes from Honduras surprisingly. Even their made in Mexico stuff is really good. I'd say on par with their home location. All I own is carhartt, Pendleton, and woolrich. Best outdoorsman brands all around imo.
@@pubplays368 what do you wear by Pendleton outdoors ? I have board shirts but I’d be too afraid of tears to take them outdoors (anyway, I’m in San Diego now not the Adirondacks so I don’t really have much of a choice atm). Duluth makes good work clothes too.
I've been using "cargo" pants at a metallurgic shop for a decade.
After a year of carrying oily pieces of steel around, they look exactly like yours!
Perhaps I should re-sell them as tin pants for a profit...
Mmmmmh, free pants 4 life.
I have tin overalls I inherited. Almost lost enough weight to wear them. Can’t wait. great video. Thx

Looks very similar to what we have here in nz, we call them oilskins, I wear mine with a pair of origin jeans underneath, the oil soaks into the jeans as well, waterproof and windproof, we have a scrub bush over here called gorse, it's worse than blackberry, but it never gets through a pair of oilskins and jeans, thanks so much for sharing your work gear with us my mate.
Cool I am from Seattle so I will look that company up. Will keep that in my shopper spots.
