durable hiking/working pants

I work in a store where I walk a lot and make many heavy lifts on a daily basis. And normally i just use regular cheap jeans, but they only last some months before they rip on the inner tights.

So I'm looking for some durable pants that handle friction and sweat in the inner thigh. I was looking at Fjällräven but I have heard they are not that good compared to price anymore. So any recommendations on EU or preferably Scandinavian brands?

That Finnish jeans brand everybody is talking about?

- Lots of posing with machine guns and confederate flag tattoos going on there for a European company. I guess they know their audience, but gosh what a turn-off.
  
  Saw military gear, but confederate flags?
Engelbert Strauß
- Website. Great clothes, really comfortable and practical. Also, you can return them under warranty if they wear out early.
  
  Strauss is fine, but on the higher price/value ratio compared to other clothes/work clothes brands.
  
  Uh and they have some really nice looking pants, so I definitely have to consider them.
If you are looking for something similar to Fjällräven but want to watch your wallet you could look into Revolution Race.
I was a bit skeptical because they've had very prominent social media campaigns and they seem to have an endless amount of product variations. (Things I don't equate to reliable businesses.) However I've recently seen people use them not only for hiking but also quite a lot for work – gardening (not the hobby kind), landscaping etc.
If anyone has personal experiences with them I'd gladly hear your take!
- My most outdoorsy friend also mentioned them. So I think I'll try a few local shops tomorrow and if i don't find anything i like, I'll give Revolution Race a try. I just hate buying clothes online.

You could always look through helikon-tex’s palette for good trousers.
They offer a good quality for small money, but their sizes are odd. If you are lucky to find something matching, you’ll be fine.
