I can't go TTS, Dickies are notorious for running small in the waist so I need to size up 2. My only real complaint about them is that they don't breathe well. I feel like the flex versions breathe a bit better.
I wish id read this comment before buying 2 pairs of 32" dickies shorts... Either every other pair of trousers I own are incorrectly sized...or Dickies are way too small... Annoyed is a massive understatement
REALLY? I heard multiple peaopl say Dickies runs tru to size. Youre saying they run a bit small in trhe waist? I have a chance at 80 for 9 pair relaxed 34s but I wear 33 ..If what YOU say is true, then maybe I may get the 34s even tho theyre a size too big.
@@97warlock They run a good 2 inches small, I can confirm. I just left a company where I worked for 6 years and they always had us wear Dickeies 874 work pants. I wore those things to death (they do get very pilled but they get very comfy with age too!). They absolutely run small. Not just 1 inch. It's 2 inches, at least
I wear Dickies 874 virtually everyday no matter the season, I’m wearing dickies in the depth of winter and the peak of summer. Dickies are my comfort pant, almost like a hoodie. I can wear them whenever, wherever, how ever I want. They’re just the best pants ever, the fit is just perfect for me. Not to mention the affordability is a massive bonus, and they last a while from my experience.
Thanks for this video! After the last batch of Dickies I bought, maybe around 5 years ago, started getting too stained up to wear anymore, I got a new pair. The pilling is absolutely horrible, and I thought it may have something to do with a fabric change, but, the ink on the tags on my old ones are totally worn off, and I couldn't tell.
Same in Poland. It's because in europe Dickies (especially classic models) are considered fashion pants, not TRUE workwear, as in US. Sure, i'm part of the problem, as i'm not blue collar worker and i wear my dickies on motorcycle only, but damn...
thats so sad, here they are so cheap i cut some of mine up without a second thought and i have 4 pairs and they are insanely durable the value for dickies over here is insane
Feel better! Covid sucks. I grew up in Southern California listening to punk and pop punk and watching my friends skate so I'm a fan of some nice, worn-in Dickies. A little fade and pilling just adds character.
@@TheIronSnail after the 2nd it's totally on me lol! The light at the end tunnel now is getting a pair that fits and forgetting about raw denim for at least 5 years.
As someone who works a heavy workwear job, I can tell you that carhartt is a whole other ballpark in terms of quality and the fabric (for me) is the most importent part. So I usually look for Duck or Cordura. I thrifted a pair of navy Levi's Sta Prest from 1978. Those are the best imo (not for work of course) 😅 Is that a G Shock Casioak on your wrist? I had mine in the mail yesterday. There is no way 😂
I was thinking about getting a pair of 874's, but I don't like the fact they have polyester in them, so I went with some 100% cotton D4 Dockers instead. Also, the Dockers have a pleated front unlike the 874's. Dickies did a line of pleated 100% cotton khakis called WP114, but it looks like they've been discontinued. I wasn't sure about pleats at first because of the association with old men, but they've grown on me and it seems they might be coming back in fashion anyway. They do add a bit of visual flair to the pants opposed to flat fronts, which have started to look boring to me.
Great video! I love my 874s, and have a pair in Lincoln Green. But yeah, I have the same problem with pilling. However, I also have a pair of 874s which they made out of selvedge denim which are AWESOME!!
Have you ever tried dockers? I feel like its a great alternative to the dickies without the ruggedness but looks more dressy…but comfy and casual enough to wear with a hoodie
Hey Mike, Aaron here from Germany. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. Here in Germany we have the "problem" that you only get Carhartt (WIP) and Dickies as a fashion brand. Unfortunately, both brands are therefore more expensive. Carhartt WIP in particular is just incredibly expensive (100€ per pants) I'm still a big fan of workwear and have some pieces from Carhatt and Dickes. Three Dickies pants (around 50-70€): a new (873) in anthracite, a short one in blue (for the summer) and two weeks ago I bought a vintage Dickies, beige (croped, only 30€). I like the pants a lot and haven't had the peeling problem yet, but I can imagine that it will happen with the new models. In my opinion, dickies simply have more style than Carhatt, I also really like the twill blend because the pants are so airy and yet robust (and look cool). So I can only recommend dickies, but of course carhartt pants are cool too. I think jackets (Michigan an Detroit, I own a vintage Detroit Jacket) from Carhartt are more awesome than the Eisenhower from Dickies. Just my two cents. 😀
A fascinating read! Makes sense that the vintage ones didn't pill! For me it's really close between the two brands, I feel like they both have something the other one doesn't
Been wearing dickies for years, and I owned couple vintage pair and newer pair and does see a whole different in materials. Definitely do have a different love and aesthetic for dickies though
I’ve wore dickies for actual work and pilling is definitely a problem. But for the most part I’ve notice they hold up well. The only wear and tear I notice after a while is between the thighs
I would actually suggest getting some Dockers (they are owned by Levi’s) the regular cut is a nice relaxed slightly tapered cut which is very flattering and most importantly 100% coton with nice details.
I love dickies! I prefer the 874 flex variant though. I also like the double knee dickies. I like them worn out and not so shiny and crisp. For its price its definitely a good buy! Fits well too
I wore these back in my time as a manager at a fast food place, I'd recommend them for the money, but they were really just for the job, I didn't care for them much outside of work.
Im sure once the pilling occurs on my new pants i kight get annoyed by it. But i could always wash them inside out/get a de-piller. But that being said pants despite some issues WILL last especially for fashion purposes. However my main issue that no one talks about is the stiff polyester takes some time to soften but if you have certain thkngs in yoru pocket such as keys they will leave visible marks.
Hey man, km looking for a pair of straight fit light blue selvage jeans. But i cant find that wash anywhere as most selvage jeans are dark wash or have a yellow tint to them. Do you know about any brands that offer those?
I've always had a pair or 2 of dickies around for 15+ years. This pilling issue started within the past couple of years. At first, I thought it had to so with the hard water in the area I moved to. Guess I'm done with 874s.
@@TheIronSnail agreed. I’ve come across a few new, discounted pieces online. Very happy with them for the reduced price point. After this video, I’ve invested in some Stan Ray pieces also. Looking forward to styling them!
Pretty sure you bought a Walmart pair of Dickies 874s (and I'm not talking about the brand called 'Genuine Dickies' which is also sold at Walmart, and I believe not associated with the Dickies brand at all, or some sort of budget subsidiary of orginal Dickies) But what I've heard from my local family owned workwear store, is that the Dickies 874s sold at Walmart are made cheaper and at a lower quality - and their price point at Walmart stores reflect that in comparasion to Dickies 874 pants that can be purchased from their website. I happen to have both Walmart pairs of 874s, as well as 874s bought from the Dickies website. The ones purchase from the Dickies website are noticeably stiffer when new, and I have not seen any pilling on the website purchased 874s. The 874s I have bought from Walmart have started pilling overtime, and are noticiable lighter and less stiff. Both have the same branding however.
to everyone who owns a pair of black dickies 874, does a freshly bought brand new black dickies 874 has like a shine effect to it? Like is the pants somehow shiny? Like similar to a slacks office/school type of pants? I’ve seen pictures of people wearing it and somehow it looks shiny.
Unpopular opinion: The 874 are far better than any pair of jeans (this includes Japanese brands). I have found that I never get knee or crotch blowouts. Never experienced pilling either. The made in Mexico versions are far better and sit perfectly on the waist without suffocating. However, the sizing is tricky especially with where the garment is created. My advice is select the Mexican made versions.
I noticed too that the Mexico made ones are better, as for jeans I completely agree. I wanted some jeans recently so I bought 5 pairs to have my ass and crotch blow out on 4 of them with in a month. They weren’t tight by any means, I had to wear a belt. Something I’ve never experienced with 874’s in the decade plus I’ve worn them
I’m a chubby short guy so 874’s are always too tight. I always get them tapered because by sizing up the legs get comically too wide. but even then I hate wearing them. So tight in the waist, legs too wide etc. I just fang get behind them lol
You can find second hand pairs in perfect condition on Ebay for like £20. You're better off with some 100% cotton Dockers though imo, which can also be found on Ebay for £20 or less.
consideribg those dickies 874 cost more than 75 dollars in Europe.. for such bad quality.. is a bad deal. Thank you for sharing it.. i'll go get some dockers. It would hace been interesting to know the exact model number orcname of the alternatives the dickies 874 with the same shape.
I love dickies old usa made ones were you could let the inseam out. I always search for them in thrift stores. My only complaint is you have to go two or four sizes up depending on your thighs and waist. I don't really buy to many if I don't find them cheap. Dickies are cheaply made and seem to attract so much dirt.
They made a Dickies "Premium Collection" 874. How about a follow up review? They're doing a really crappy job of marketing them, so I have no idea what they're like.
I guess this is more fashion oriented for most people but I just can’t wear Dickies. The quality isn’t there. I’ve always seen their workwear and been like “what a price!!” Then I put it on and am like “ehhhhh, nope.” Duluth for me. I’ve been wearing their 5 pocket slims to death and they take a beating. I like the 5 pocket because they can be dressed up with a nice shirt and shoes. Then are also good for putting work in. Seems they’ve added some more staple colors lately. They used to only have a couple but now it seems they have up to 4 steady colors and Black. Just picked up the slim Cargos yesterday and they’re on sale for like $53. Much heavier than the 5 pocket which is pretty cool. I’ve tried a number of the Carhartts but Duluths are just a glove on me baby.
Love my Dickies overalls but they balloon so much at the knees they might as well be bell bottoms. Never bought Dickies pants but used to thrift the bottoms of old work uniforms (the chinos with the orange barcodes where the label would be) and alter those. They were usually made of tougher material than Dickies.
Got two pairs of dickies 874, one blue and one brown. They’re the same size (apparently). But the blue one fits perfect. And the brown one fits small. What the heck. This is always the case with dickies for me
just bought a pair. the sizing info in this video is wrong. if you buy true to size its gonna feel like skinny jeans. buy at least 2 sizes up for a relaxed fit, 3 to 4 for a loose fit. go to the tailor to adjust the waist size.
I wear dickies shorts almost exclusively. They fit me great, and last a long time. I have a pair of 874’s also great. Only complaint, the worlds shortest zippers! I basically have to undo everything to pee! Lol
@@TheIronSnaili wish pants manufacturers would read RUclips comments. They could literally compile the suggestions and make the ultimate pants. But they are FEEBLE MINDED FOOLS
Is it my imagination or were Dickies back in the 90s straight leg? These new Dickies are all tapered, and the relaxed fit have that weird pattern on the leg. I prefer Ben's
I've been wearing Dickies for over 20 years. I purchased some new ones a couple months ago and they are not the Dickies i used to know. The new material change is not made for work.

I think I caught ADHD from this video, but also got a lot of information, so thanks?
Hahaha you’re welcome!
George chinos from walmart are the closer to the 874 dickies than anything both are sold at Walmart
Too baggy for me but I can see how people like them
I feel like that makes total sense! Mine are almost too baggy for me after seeing the footage

I started wearing jeans again because Dickies quality got so bad.
Ok but what about Ben Davis c’mon

Dickies the pants for your job at McDonald's, the warehouse, or for rich hipsters.
That T-shirt looks awful. Looks old and worn and ill-fitting.
