The perfect pair of painter's pants is hard to find, but we think we've just about done it with these beauties from Stan Ray. The first thing we made sure of was to find an off-white natural canvas instead of a harsh white version. These look a little lived-in right out of the box. The 8oz. fabric is lightweight and breathable and can easily be worn all day - for actual manual labor or simple lounging.

The second important part is the fit. The 80s Fit from Stan Ray fits just the way a good pair of 501s should. They're not too boxy or too wide and taper just enough to have a clean leg opening, without getting too slim. Where a bright white, boxy painter pant can feel a little costumey, this one feels natural, easy, and comfortable. Now go out and get them dirty—get those reverse fades!
