I'm not rich either. I actually usually get clothes from thrift stores and discount stores like tjmaxx. I was tired of buying new work clothes all the time. I admired Patagonia's company ethics (at least what their marketing says) so I wanted to try some, and i bought some workwear when I was a mechanic when i needed some new work pants. The hemp canvas stuff is super durable. Wore it every day in the shop. They're very grease and oil stained, but literally showing no significant wear even to this day. All of the stitching, pockets, and belt loops are very heavy duty too. Other pants wore out much quicker.
