But they don't really show it. I'm 6'4" and buy the 34w unhemmed. The expandable waist is spectacular. I use them in the field for plumbing and electrical trades. Because of my build, I have to be pretty flexible to do some of my work and with a 36" inseam climbing can be a giant pain in the ass. These pants are very forgiving in range of movement. When I work plumbing jobs they get the daylights beaten out of them and they hold up extremely well. **Q: What is the length of the unfinished pant. i understand that means you can hem it to any length you want but what is the maximum length 36", 38"?** A: The length of the unhemmed pant is 37.5"-- so the longest you can hem to would be 37". **Q: does the waist have any elastic?** A: Yes it does. Hidden in the waistband. Not the grandpa type. I love these pants. Super comfortable, crisp looking, and tough as nails. **Q: is the item durable** A: There are a few ways I see durability. First and foremost is structural durability, these pants are really well stitched. The fabric does not catch on things and when it does typically you'll hear and feel a small snag and then it will let go. No holes. The bottoms of the legs have great stitching and as long as you order the proper size you shouldn't see any fraying. The fabric is water resistant and thus stains are few and far between. I expect that to dissipate over time. I would apply a repellant for fabrics after 7 washes. The other aspect of durability is aesthetics. The main characteristic here is color. My pants came in Coyote and we're very dark tan. After washing them, they lightened up considerably. A few shades darker than khaki. So overall; yes it is durable. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Star worth cargo pants *by on Reviewed in the United States April 27, 2015* I've had my brown pair of these pants for almost a year now, which is hard to imagine, because they look brand new still. I don't have an intense job, I'm not a military contractor or anything like that, I just like to wear tough, durable, and most importantly comfortable pants. For years I've just bought Walmart cargo pants and worn them until they fell apart...which typically takes six months or so at the most. Since I finally have a little more cash in my pockets I decided I'd try something a bit more pricey and after much debating between stuff like 5.11 and Blackhawk brand and the like I figured I'd try Tru-Spec because they were a little cheaper priced. I bought these and also Riggs Workwear ranger pants by Wrangler. The Riggs are still in the condition I bought them in too...because I've only worn them a few times and now they collect dust in my closet. They are so heavy and unyielding they just didn't work for me. The Tru-Spec on the other hand I wear atleast once a week because, simply put, they are awesome. They have a plethora of pockets, like cargo pants, but are cut more like nice dress pants. The cargo pockets don't bulge and sag, which adds to the more stylish look, in my humble opinion. Most wonderfully, the waist has an elastic part to them, also like nice dress pants, that allows them to give a little. This was my gripe with the Riggs; they crushed my waist and dug into me all day. The Tru-Spec I bought (and the 5.11 pants I'm wearing right now) have waists that move and flex with you and are more forgiving if you seem to be between pants sizes (I think I must be a 33 on some days and a 32 on others...try finding 33s). Also, and this is a big one, they seem to be true to my size or at least close. I tend to wear a 32 so I bought these in that size. The 32x32s were a little long on me, though most 32 length pants are so I wasn't surprised. My second pair I bought in coyote were 32x30s and they were a little shorter than I like, but who makes 31s? Oh, well. The short of it is that I'm happy with these. I have since bought 5.11 and Vertx both of which ran small (the Vertx ran EXTREMELY small in the waist, I couldn't even zip them up and the 32x32 5.11 wore like 32x34 or 36s...I mean crazy long) and had to replace. I'm fairly happy with my the 32x30 5.11 pants I bought, but to me their pocket placement seems inferior to the Tru-Spec pocket placement. Between the 5.11 and the Tru-Spec the material seems about the same, but the 5.11 are a bit more expensive. I'm keeping my 5.11 and wearing them in my normal rotation, but I bought another pair of Tru-Spec and will probably buy more in the future as my go to work pants. Overall I don't know how long-term wear and tear in the field would work out, but I feel like the material would be tough enough I wouldn't worry about them giving out while I was hunting or hiking, though I usually reserve cheap and comfy combat pants for such roles, simple because I can buy them all day for around $10 at the military surplus store and not have a heart attack if I rip a hole in them. I give Tru-Spec pants a rare 5 stars for all the reasons listed. Give them a try and I don't think you'll be disappointed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and comfortably gain and lose 10 or more pounds without changing ... *by on Reviewed in the United States January 13, 2016* Regarding these not being true to size (see critical review): This has not been my experience at all. I'm not going to go on and on about my other pants. I trust that you will believe that I have been successful in buying myself other types of pants that have fit. These Tru Specs posed no unusual challenges for me. I run 32x32 in looser fitting, relaxed jeans, and its the same deal with these. I almost think MP06011999 who says they "run really small" must have gotten a mislabeled pair. I know it seems unlikely, but I have 7 pairs of these, and they all fit the same as my jeans. Additionally these pants have an elastic band in the waist, allowing for one to CCW a full sized, IWB, and comfortably gain and lose 10 or more pounds without changing sizes. I know because I CCW full sized, and have been injured twice in the past two years, which prevented me from lifting weights and caused my body weight fluctuations. Wore the Tru Specs throughout the weight changes regardless of whether I carried IWB, or OWB (winter months, camping, hiking, etc.) The reason I have so many pairs is simply because I think they're outstanding in every way. They are very durable, they don't look "tactical," (more like standard cargo pants, especially in khaki or coyote coloring) they have tons of pockets, they look good, and they dry reasonably quickly, being 65% ply 35% cotton. That's important if your outdoorsy. The cotton ensures they are still very comfortable. The Teflon coating will make rain bead off, and keep them from staining for quite awhile, but honestly I've never cared either way for that feature, and after enough wash/dry cycles that aspect will fade. Another reason I have so many pairs because I like the idea of having everything I carry in the same pockets every single day, especially when I had backup mags in pockets. I have a place for everything from my knife to E-Cigararette, and they're always right where I expect them to be, regardless of what (color) pants I am wearing. They're reasonably priced enough to give a pair a shot, I think you'll be glad you did. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ True Spec 24/7 tactical. My favorite pants by far *by on Reviewed in the United States April 8, 2022* The poly/cotton blend fabric is just right. Light weight and comfortable, but still very durable. Not as hot as jeans. Some will think they are a tad stiff at first, but they break in perfectly after one wash. And still retain their creases over time to look sharp. Ive owned my first pair for five years and have them on right now LOL. Much more comfortable than jeans in my opinion, and they look and wear better than jeans. Hold creases well over time. Now that I’ve retired, I bought more and wear these daily no matter what I’m doing. Comfortable enough to lay around the house in, and durable enough to do just about any outside work or activity you want. I wear them hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, yard work, chopping wood, pulling weeds, etc. They don’t snag on things like jeans will. They also look nice enough to wear as casual wear, like going out to dinner, if you don’t mind the cargo pockets. The pockets are big, but lay flat when empty. I wear them everywhere.Plenty of pockets that are well designed. Front pockets are deep and usable. Back pockets are also deep with a Velcro closure. Side cargo pockets are large enough for small handgun or extra mags, but lay flat when empty. Slim pockets designed for folding pocketknives on each side that I use daily. I’ve never had a knife fall out when using the knife clip. Perfectly holds a folding knife with 3.5” folding blade. There are two very small pockets with Velcro closures outside the larger cargo pockets. But they only hold small items like credit cards or drivers license or keys. I own five pair of these pants. One of the pair I just bought came with slip-in cell phone pockets, but the other four pair did not. I wish they all had those pockets. Perfect size for iPhone 12 with otter box case.Sizing: I’m 5’9”. 185lbs. My extra weight above the waist. I wear 36/30 dress slacks, but I like them a little loose, not binding. True spec runs a tad large. My true specs are 34/30. Waist and hips and crotch area are perfect fit. The extra 2” hidden elastic extender inside the waistband is perfect to give a little when needed. And very very comfortable. Never binding. Just right. The 30” inseam is about an inch longer than my dress slacks, but I like that for boots and for outdoor activities so debris won’t get in my shoes.Bottom line I highly recommend these pants. Very versatile, durable, and comfortable. If you’re patient you can find them for under $40 on Amazon. I’m cheap, and won’t pay over that.Hope this helps. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tru-Spec Men's 24-7 Series Original Tactical Pant - EDC, Hiking, Camping, and Tactical Use - 65/35 Polyester/Cotton Rip-Stop - Propper Men's Uniform Tactical Pant - Propper Men's Lightweight Tactical Pant --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/1537466-tru-spec-24-7-original-cargo-work-pants-for-men](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/1537466-tru-spec-24-7-original-cargo-work-pants-for-men) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
