Carhart's - bibs or regular jeans type. Duluth Trading Firehose pants/bibs - canvas type material. The smooth - hard surface resists burrs. They brush off a lot easier also.

These things stick to just about any pants I have worn. This weekend I used a comb to try and remove them. Worked OK but not perfect.

Dogs are great Beggar Lice finders. My pet-barber wife reminds me of that every time the pooch gets out!

I have a doodle that a big fluffy dog. He’s constantly covered in them unless I keep him shaved pretty short.

I wouldn't be suprised to find out it inspired the invention of Velcro. 😜
The VELCRO® brand of hook and loop was invented by a man named George de Mestral in the 1940's while hunting in the Jura mountains in Switzerland. Mr. de Mestral, a Swiss engineer, realized that the tiny hooks of the cockle-burs were stuck on his pants and in his dog's fur and wondered how they attached themselves.
