Has Dickies always had a skate team?
Seems they've realized their popularity.

Vincent Alvarez
Kevin Terpening
Tom Remillard

Ah, shit. It has begun.
-
decent team, anyone else?
-
i think dickies has sponsored skaters at various times before. Carhartt also has had a skate team in europe since the 90s.

Support your local Walmart?
-
makes sense. i associate dickies more with skating than omit/famous/somethingsimilartothose
and what's up with carhart? i've noticed they do a lot of advertising at european skate contests, why not in america?
-
i think its a whole separate entity. probably run by different people. carhartt europe is more fashion oriented, while carhartt america seems to be purely workwear. i think they sponsor rodeo riders

Put 1% spandex in dickies slim straights and you have the best pants ever.

The only $50 Dickies I've seen are the Spitfire/AH collab ones. Average price at most places in the US is still under $30.
To the guy who said "support your local WalMart," of the dozens of pairs of Dickies I've owned over they years only 1 came from WalMart, and they fit weird, like they were the rejects. Most of the time you get Dickies from independently owned shops that specialize in blue collar work clothes and from army surplus stores. Insinuating that Dickies is a WalMart brand is as incorrect as saying that Shaun White clothing is a legitate skate brand.
Skaters have been backing Dickies forever because they make comfortable and durable clothes so I'm glad to see them putting some money into our industry.

I know you were being sarcastic but I'll bite.
My first thought about Nike- "thanks for the money." I've also heard they make good skate shoes but I have never owned a pair and probably won't ever. Maybe, like Nike, Dickies will profit from getting more involved, that's business. As long as they keep making good pants and the prices don't soar, then I welcome them with open arms. I really don't foresee any skate clothing companies going under because of Dickies having a team and sponsoring events, but some skate shoe brands would do better w/o Nike in the picture.
In short, I don't remember a time when Dickies and skating wasn't a good fit but I do remember when Nike wanted nothing to do with skateboarding and most skaters wanted nothing to do with Nike. I have a plethora of personal reasons why I won't give Nike my money, but I'll gladly skate the plazas they build and watch their videos, as long as I don't have to pay for any of it. In the end, as companies and as products, I don't think Nike and Dickies is a very fair comparison.

old school vert dudes used to wear Jordan 1's & dunks all the time back in the day. before there was really a market for skate shoes alot of guys skated Nike Bs because they skated well.
when Nike stopped fucking with skateboarding in the past it was because that was when skateboarding was dead as fuck & they werent making money & nike skate shoes werent nearly as popular. people give em shit for that but why would they keep dumping money into a lost cause? VANS did that same shit but they get a pass for some reason because they did that shit BEFORE Nike then got back in the game & now they have that core image when they werent even a skateboarding company to begin with.
the only reason these other companies would do better w/o nike is because of the competition. alot of my favorite core shoe companies just dont make shoes as good as nikes. ive skated a ton of different brands and nike is by far the best, quality is gonna win everytime. they know how to make shoes. i love lakai & mike carroll but most of them shits is ass yo. & ive had multiple pairs. Nike & dickies is a perfectly fair comparison. theyre both apparel companies that started outside of skateboarding then got in the game.
-
This argument is tired as shit. It doesnt matter who ditched skateboarding when or who is more core or any of that. It's all marketing. Nike had some skateable shoes out before SB and Dickies have been a skate staple since forever. These companies are just choosing to market to skaters in hopes of yanking some more dollars out of us.
Im wearing Dickies 874's and Kostons right now. Its working.

Man, I'm not one of those people who is on a crusade against Nike SB. As I said, I choose not to buy them for my own reasons. I could give a fuck if they make skate shoes or if people wear them, and I don't think anyone wants to hear my take on the history of skate shoes or list of reasons why some people skated in Nikes in 1984. I will touch on one thing you said and reply that Nike never "stopped fucking with skating," they have been going strong since they started the SB line, but between 1990 and 1996'ish, very few people skated in the pre-SB Nike shoes because board feel became important when street skating evolved. In earlier times some people wore stuff like Nike and Converse basketball shoes because the only skate shoes pre-1986 skate shoes were Vans, which aren't notorious for protecting your feet and didn't fit everyone's style.
Dickies has recognized that there's a portion of their existing demographic that they weren't marketing to. Volcom or FourStar won't go bankrupt because Dickies sponsors a few guys. Therefore I don't think there's anything wrong with them putting money into an industry that already buys their shit. They're not infiltrating to create an entirely new customer base and push the existing companies aside like some companies do.
If there was a skater-owned company that made good and affordable pants I would buy them over Dickies and Ben Davis, but I can't pay $60+USD for a pair of pants, especially if they're not going to last. Most of my Dickies are over 10 years old and in perfectly wearable condition. So yeah, I get the quality argument, but that doesn't mean that there's something wrong with me choosing to not wear Nikes. Besides, aside from one or two models, I think most Nike Sb's are hideous. I like good skate shoes, but also have to like how they look, otherwise I would still be wearing the 7 colored Airwalk Velocity's (good protection, durable, ugly as hell).
Comparing Vans' relationship to skating to Nike's is flat out regular. I can say more of the same shit that's been in 150 other threads but not going to waste time reiterating an opinion that is simply that. I don't need to justify my opinion.
This argument is tired as shit.
These companies are just choosing to market to skaters in hopes of yanking some more dollars out of us.
Yep, that's what businesses do. I think motives really come into play. Motives and business ethics are the main reasons why I might choose not to buy a particular product. To me, buying Circa instead of Nike is like buying a board from a local shop instead of buying one at Zumiez. If someone doesn't agree then good for them, it doesn't make either person right or wrong, simply choice and preference.

Dickies that last 10 years? Crazy. Mine blow out after about 6 months usually.Still the best pants.

I've only managed to tear Dickies a couple times, usually the only wear I get is from griptape rubbing where I carry my board and sometimes frays at the bottom cuffs if the pants are too long. I've never heard of Dickies only lasting 6 months.
-
i didn't mean that dickies are 50 dollar pants.? every other goddamn pair of pants are.
Here in Australia, skate brand pants can go for up to $150. $50 sounds cheap as fuck to me (I would never pay that much, but I would still buy skate brand jeans or levis over Dickies. Just personal preference, not really into the whole dickies thing).

Almost every time I skate in jeans the crotch always tears out for some reason. Happened to a few pairs of Levi's and a pair of Indy jeans before I moved to skating in Ben Davis and Dickies almost exclusively.
-
^^ same here, but not only with Levi's, all denim. For the past couple years i've completely sworn off denim. jeans are not good for skating at all IMO. they're heavy and sweaty and fucking just all bad

i was just thinking about this earlier dickies are wayyyyyy lighter than any denim and they last longer. if these skate versions are cost-friendly im finna be dickied out like the broke hood niggas in highschool who have em in every color

Thats exactly why I first started wearing Dickies. My dad is a handicapped biker junkie and we lived off his SSD so if I was gonna get more than 1 pair of pants for the school year they had to be Dickies. In 6th grade I had brown, blue, black, even bright fucking red which got me a fair amount of shit at the height of the 80's blood/crip feud in LA.
Ben Davis are also great skate pants. Usually about $5 more than Dickies but have a snap instead of clasp, better pockets (god knows how much I've lost out of Dickies pockets), bigger belt loops for the studded belt types, and they're not as starchy when new. I wouldn't say they're better than Dickies, but definitely comparable, but a little less durable.
Aside from the collab Spitfire and Anti Hero, I wonder if Dickies will make actual "skate pants." Seems unnecessary.
One thing that I always thought was weird about Dickies though is that 2 pairs that are the same size and right next to each other on the shelf are going to fit differently, some are baggier, some have a lower crotch, basically no 2 pairs fit the same so should never mail order them, gotta try them on.

Thats the reason I stopped buying dickies. The consistency of fit within their products is shit. I want some slim straight dickies. If I get a good pair, every pair should be the same damn fit. Irritates me to no end.

I'd sell my soul to get Dickies loose fit double-knees flow. I mention them in every Dickies thread, but I swear by them... I look like a goober in general, but slim pants make me look and feel awkward. 32x30 Double Knees just fit perfect on me... no need for a belt, and it takes a while to get through both layers.
Also dig them because I can wear 'em at work (office casual) then just change shirts and shoes and I can skate right after work. Another work related thing is the cellphone pocket... perfect fit for my phone and its case and clip-thingy and easy to access quickly (I get a lot of tech/web support calls while I'm running around the office or at conferences).
Just kinda bummed that they've gone up in price recently... I used to be able to snag em at Wallyworld or online for about 17 to 20 bucks a pop, but I've been seeing them sold for $30 and $35 bucks at some places.
The only ones I'm not real big on are the dark grey/slate color because they get scuff marks really easily, so I can't really wear them at work after a sesh or two in them.

Same. I have a pair of Khaki, Army green and black that I skate in exclusively.

Ive always liked the look of dickies on other people but they just don't fit me right. I try on a pair and I feel like I'm swimming in my pants.

I always felt the same way, but I hemmed the inseam of a pair I had sitting around an inch or an inch and a half and now they're the perfect pants.

I bought dickies today at Wal-Mart for 20. The only thing that bothers me about dickies is that mine highwater when I sit down.
-
Dickies make slim fit pants right? Someone hook me up with a website that has them for cheap?

That all depends on what your definition of "slim" means.
I would compare the fit to a levis 514 or 501 with less roomy thigh.
The ankle opening is A little wider than most skate branded jeans and chinos.

I have a pair of the slim straight khaki Dickies. They're 32x32. If you live in the states I'd be willing to sell them for cheap ($20 shipped). I wore them a few times, never skated though. I can provide pictures if you're interested.

This. A bought a pair online thinking they would be pretty tight, but when I tried them on, they were actually pretty baggy. So I sold them and got some LRG Sandoval chinos instead.

And a Levi's jacket...?
-
Can't imagine Dickies really offering much as a clothing sponsor. The only thing everyone really wears from them is the pants.
-
They make lots of flannels and jackets. And they have a good denim line that gets no play most places.
-
I have a great Dickies jacket that has seem me through a few trips and been used as a pillow more than a few times.
Good shit.

For sure. I'm actually wearing a Dickies jacket right now that I love. But I just can't imagine them getting much dough from t shirts and jeans. On another note I can't believe Beagle cut his hair!
-
I have the new Dickies "street wear" catalogs for spring/summer 2012 and autumn/winter 2012, all the stuff looks really good. Not only the original 874/slimstraight pants that will interest skaters.
Some really cool hoodies, flannels, jackets, not to mention the ones from the spitfire collabos!
Can't wait for Dickies to make the Dickies Skate catalogs.

Needs spandex in the Slim and 874.

A friend of mine is a rep for one of Dickies competitors and knows a lot about what they are doing. He heard that some of the new stuff Dickies is coming out with is SICK!! And he heard the stuff will ONLY be available from core skate shops, nobody else.
I guess we all gotta stay tuned.....
Anyone else see some of this new stuff?

I just want a grip of Dickies stickers.

They should make a skate version of the 874s with a slightly slimmer leg and a little more stretch. And they should be priced the same as reguler 874s.

if they plan on coming correct and sticking in skating for a while, i would imagine that they would improve their classic styles and just jump the price up a bit. i've only seen the skinny straight ones in a shop, which are super tight and i can't get down with the logo on the knee. hoping to see some slim pants in chocolate or black but not TOO slim. they should take over the beanie game too and consistently sell a vide variety of different colors for ten bucks or less.

I saw people suggesting the slim straights and the fit amazingly but, they are tight on my junk. Everything about them is great except that. Any suggestion on chinos that fit similar?

Exactly. I thought I was tripshittin, but the rise is really low. Maybe sizing down on the 874 could give a similar fit.
