I would recomend the 5.11 series, but the HUGE back pockets are hideous IMHO.

I stopped buying pants/jeans from Old Navy after all the belt loops kept falling off after two months.

Hold on a second. I picked up an Old Navy P coat a few weeks ago and was astounded to find out there were 3 excellent concealed carry pockets in it. One pocket on the inside was a typical CCW design (Vertical slit opening) you see on expensive concealed carry jackets. I asked the folks at the counter how much it was...$30. I don't care for button up, but this is one warm coat thats eager to please you and your carry.

Dickies have fairly deep pockets. Most Wally World stores sell them.

Normal 5.11 pants do look like that. I am referring to the khakis which look like any other pair of khakis out there and have no brand labeling. Check out the link I posted above and you might change your tune.

Another vote for 5.11's here.

Stay away from old navy and The Gap. Their stuff is cheap and falls apart. I wear Bass and Dickies to work every day. I like Dickies the best because they have no back pocket flap to iron.

I'm fond of Columbia Sportswear ROC pants which can be found at Peeples and Bass Pro Shops. They're usually around 30.00.
I also have several pair of 5.11s...I think the Columbias stand up better

+1 for Bills. No better pants out there- period. The price tag is high, but you get what you pay for. My oldest pair is several years old and they look like they were bought yesterday.

Yep, I see your point. Sorry, I didn't realize they did tactical and covert!

Those definitely do not get the mall ninja seal of approval.
