Carharttmens Rugged Flex Rigby Cargo Pant Pants

Q: Do they have velcro closures on the pockets? I don't like velcro.

Yes, there are hook and loop closures on the cargo and back pockets.

Q: Do these have a gusseted crotch?

This style does not have a gusseted crotch.

Q: Some reviews mention that these pants run small in the waist and to size up. Is this true?

People's bodies are different. My mate buys 36, his usual size--and really likes these pants. He does have kind of a flat butt, which may influence the waist fit.

Q: How much or many sizes are these pants going to shrink after being washed? Most luxury Brands just tightened up a little or half size.

After a few wash cycles mine did shrink a bit. I noticed the shrinkage because the rugged flex pants are sized in smaller increments (waist size), than some other pants. In my case I purposely bought them for the fit and now they are a bit tighter in the waist, I will move up a size in the waist next time. Other than that, I am more than pleased with them, substantial feeling without being bulky or non flexible, pocket selection and placement and the number of belt loops are perfect for this custodian.
