How do the 874s fit??

[aksel]

best pants to skate in ever. last super long

[whiteley]

dickies are great. but new dickies suck; with that scotchguard protection they add, they take forever to break in.

the brand-new phase is by far my favorite! i resist washing them for as long as possible. i like when they are super straight and haven't started slumping yet. found a work wear store near me that has ever color and size of every product they make, and i discovered i'd been getting the wrong size combo for years- used to do 32-30 and they always seemed a little too short and baggy, but i found that 31 32 fits just right. haven't tried the slim ones, though.  wearing green ones today!

How do the 874s fit??

i just copped a pair of black ones last week for work over at modells for $25.  they come up a little high on me but its because i had no choice but to buy a bigger size than i normally wear(i lost 15 lbs in the last 2 months without realizing it).
i haven't skated in them yet other than just pushing from the train to work but the material is far from comfy, they're pretty stiff.  unless they soften up after washing, i can't see me skating in these, they feel like burlap(the woven bags they use to haul potatoes).

wow I thought I was the only one whitley they fit a lot better when they are super stiff.

[whiteley]

^yes! they have that good crisp shape and edge. by the time they have been washed like three times they turn into regular pants, but in the brand new phase, there is nothing else like them. once i was shooting photos of jason jessee- he said, "hey, wait just like five minutes," walked off, got into his car and drove away. i had no idea what he was doing. sure enough, five minutes later he came back with a brand new pair of dickies and changed into them for the photo. "they just didn't look right," was all he said. awesome.

The talk of crisp new Dickies reminds me that I need a new pair.

fixed.

This new pair of 874's I got is "Washed for softness", no scotchgard or permanent crease. Great pants.

Iv been doing the same thing. It just feels right.

[Mullet Man]

I wear 'em exclusively. One thing I noticed is if you give up wearing jeans and wear only pants, you can never go back to jeans.

Sorta like having sex with well-hung black men, you can never go back.

i can't say that, i went from wearing nothing but dickies for like a good 2 years, and then all of a sudden finally found the pair of jeans that fits me the best (levis 514) and now i wear a mix of both.

Volcom Nova jean.

I could never find a pair of slim fit dickies.

[Mullet Man]

Whiteley, you've never heard of starch? A fuckin' G taught me how to do that back in the day. Starch the shit out of 'em.

They stay new FOREVER.

you want the 873's, slim straight cut.  available from no end of places - try google for starters

Ya you want these.
I actually found mine mixed in with the 874s.

[trannies and mannies]

i bought a new pair recently, and it seems the newer ones (the ones that say 874 on the inside waistband) fit baggier than the older ones. i still wore them, i was just a little bummed

I just bought two new pairs of black dickies 874's from Walmart a week ago and one pair fits like how they normally do but the other pair is noticeably baggier. I was wearing the baggier pair to skate the other day and i fell on a trick not even that hard and it made a hole on my knee super easily. I've never had a pair of dickies that have torn this easily, usually they can take a beating before they start to wear out. I'm guessing some badly made pairs some how got past inspection and made it to stores.

I tried on a pair of the 514 and they fit weird. The thigh area is tight but down from the knees to the ankles is baggy. I like the 511's, but all the washes come in different sizes. My black one's fit perfect but the wax blue ones are too tight.

I finally bought my first pair of the slim straight Dickies. My only complained is the leg opening is too big, but overall good pants. I'll probably go back and buy some blue and black ones.

[Hexagon]

a staple 874 and 873s (slim) both good shits. cheap, last forever. depending on your stature may give you dumpy butt, but I find them to be awesome.

so, try'em on before you buy and see whats good. surplus stores are chock full of colors/sizings as are your local marts. not for everyone obviously, but you can get the most bang for your buck taking the time to give them a chance. plus they always make good shorts if you don't like the pants style, cut them shits.

Goddamnit I hope they didn't lower their quality. This always seems to happen when a brand gets popular. When Levi's got cool they lowered the quality on most of their jeans (the Rigid 501's seem to be the same though) and brought out tons of stupid washes. Vans has been going downhill as well in terms of quality.

the slim fit dickies restrict my movement tons, but i do like the look of them. 

as far as levis go, wear them as much as you can without washing them, and those shits form to you after a few months.  crazy what a worn in pair will feel like vs. a new pair

Are the slim straight Dickies about the same fit as K-slim Krew pants?

[GnarlesManson]

Are the slim straight Dickies about the same fit as K-slim Krew pants?

no, the slim dickies have a low rise that is basically like the rise of girls pants, and the leg isnt even very slim.

Yea I hate them. stupid low rise so everyone can see ur boners and they fall down.

and they're only slightly slimmer than the 874's. you could try getting the 874's and re-sewing them, or get different pants.
