I have been wearing these Dickies for about 15 years, not just Dickies, but these exact Dickies. The loose fit, double knee, with multi use pocket and fat belt loops. I am finally retiring a pair that I have had for 10 years, In fact, Im not even retiring them, I'm just not wearing them in public any more due to all the holes and tears. I haven't changed pant size since high school, so I can literally wear clothes down to the threads. Plus I'm a cheap skate and don't like to spend money on clothes.

These aren't like other Dickies. Like the ones you find at stores like, say Wal-Mart. They may be labeled the same, but they aren't. That's not to say you can't buy these at stores, just be careful. There are cheap versions of these that are labeled the same, but in fact are of a much lower quality. These pants are thicker, heavier duty, more comfortable, better fit, and longer lasting. You can tell the difference easily if you look. These pants have a wider belt loop than the cheap ones, These feel a bit thicker, and they say "loose fit" on the inside of the waist band.

For me the fit is as expected. Of course I've been wearing these so long, I don't need to try them on before buying. They are relaxed fit. If you normally wear say a 31" waist regular, this will be loose and will require a belt (or sagging - to each his own). They are not so baggy to be obnoxious. They are the prefect "looseness". Also the bottom of the legs is not like other Dickies, or other pants, generally speaking. They really don't taper at all, so they cover the shoe nicely. I wear a 10.5 shoe, and with bare feet, I can bend my toes up and fit my foot inside the bottom of the pant leg (straight across). I like this feature, because I can wear my work boots, and have the pant legs cover up most of the boot, keeping them cleaner.

The pants really hold up well, even in working environments, wearing them every day. They hold up to just about everything except fire. Fire will put holes in them quickly. Chemicals and stains are for the most part no match for these pants. They will stain of course, with the right substance, and without proper washing techniques. No big deal, to be expected. Fabric softener will drastically reduce the life of your pants. I don't use it for this reason. i like my Dickies a "little stiff". They come stiff as a board but after one wash, they are good for me.

I guess that's it. Great long lasting pants that look and fit better than any other...in my opinion.

When they arrived,they were way too small. Had my skinny ass put on weight? After comparing to other pants decided they were a little small for 32"waist.
Amazon returns them no prob because they rock. Suck it up and go to Wal-Mart to buy 34" waist loose fit dickies. They are yhuge! I didn't try them on at the store, i figured they were one size larger than what was previously determined to be a little too small. Wal-Mart does not accept the return because they suck and i am apparently supported to keep track of some tiny piece of tissue paper if i ever wisk to make a return.
...Anyways, Dickies needs to get their stuff together. Make sure the children in Bangladesh are using the same measuring standard as the ones in Guatemala.

My favorite work pant. Breathes nicely. Wears well. Washes up nicely, retaining color. Doesn't harbor funky smells. Quality zipper/hardware. Cut correctly (see below)

Cons: You can order 10 pairs of 34 x 32 and you may receive 3-4 countries of origin. Each country has a different idea of what size 34 means. Meaning the Mexican made pair will fit correctly, but the Honduras pair will be too tight. If you get the Nicaragua made pants, they may be too big. Sizing is all over the map/place. There needs to be MUCH tighter quality control.

I bought 3 Charcoal and 3 Black for my boyfriend. He's been wearing this same style for years. The first thing he noticed was that they seemed thinner than his old ones. We thought that maybe it seemed thinner because they were packed tightly.

But after washing them and wearing a certain pair once, the back right pocket frayed (so far only 1 of the 6 have done this so maybe it was fluke).

EDIT: From 3 Star to 1 Star
We washed another pair last night (washed once upon arrival, worn ONCE, and then washed last night), and the seams are fraying on this pair too. Definitely not the same quality as before (he has pairs from 4 years ago that are only NOW starting to fall apart). This was also a Charcoal Gray pair.

As many have said, the country of origin varies. I received 4 pair made in Honduras, and 4 pair made in Mexico. Having said that, the size, quality, etc was identical between the two upon initial inspection. All four pair made in Honduras had a strange smell out of the packaging (similar to cat urine?), but were good as new after a quick wash.

The pants fit just a hair on the snug side in the waist, but just barely, with the legs fitting a bit loose. The zippers and stitching are both heavy duty and seem to be very good quality. They feel very comfortable when working in them, and are made of very thick material, so they feel like they can take abuse and still last.

The only reason I dropped a star was because after about two weeks of use, two pair had issues. For one, the Male side of the waistband clasp fell off. For the other, the zipper zipped up smoothly, then seized and would not unzip. Nothing was caught in it, it just wouldnt move. While I'm not sure which country of origin those two pair came from, Amazon quickly replaced the pair with the broken clasp, and I was able to get the zipper to work again on the other, so it only ended up being a minor inconvenience. Outside that, I've had zero issues. For the price, these are a very good deal, and one of the best options I've seen. I'll definitely be ordering more.

This is the second pair of these pants I have purchased for my husband. The first pair I purchased on amazon Dec of 2016. No holes or ripped belt loops. They fit him very well. He works outdoors, getting dirty, lifting, bending, etc. He's a 42-34. You will not be disappointed. They are not like the Dickies that are in Walmart that tears after about a month or feels like cardboard. Well worth the money and the sizes are true. No need to order bigger or smaller than you normally wear. Hope this helps anyone on the fence in purchasing one.
