I had purchased Thrive work pants before and these pants are good quality work pants, But I wanted to try out another companies work pants (not mentioning names) and boy was I disappointed, Sure they were less expensive compared to Thrive but there was no comparing the quality of Thrive, Everything about the Thrive work pant just oozes quality , from the belt loops, to the zipper and the stitching , it all comes together making it a great work pant that just gets better after every wash. I strongly recommend Thrive work pants.
