Whats your favorite pants to skate in?

[Thomcatifys]

So, maybe four years ago i bought three/four pair of dickies pants, and now they are all pretty worn out, so i'm thinking it's time for a change of go-to skate pants. I've been having trouble finding a good replacement for the dickies though, so now i seek help.

What's your favorite pants to skate in and why?

I've been digging dickies because they are so solid (I've been skating in the for four years), and they're not to baggy or to slim.

anything thats long enough, stretch, and not 874 dickies, highlights include stretch levis, flex arizona jeans/chinos (jeans have slightly small front pockets), dockers ive found at Burlington for $15, vans jeans arent bad if you find some at a outlet for 2 for $30 and they have deep ass pockets, and im about to buy some old navy chinos so ill see how that goes.

Used to skate in Dickies but they all wore out.  I skate in these now:

Volcom jeans. They stretch really good and look nice. Some other jeans with stretch don't stretch nearly as well as Volcom jeans. I think they make some non-stretchy ones also, so just gotta make sure to get stretchy ones and you're all set.

uniqlo miracle air denim - hollow fibers = lighter for moar pawp

[the snake]

cheap ones

[wheelies]

I'm gonna bang yall over the head. Scrubs. Oversized ones. Look like dickies, feels like guru yoga island sweatpants. Wanna try chef pants too cause they got cool designs.

Every time I go outside I wonder why I'm not wearing Lucas length shorts

Board shorts are life...until you get a shinner and it feels 10x worse for some reason

Hollister skinny jeans with stretch a size larger for comfort/crotch space and to cuff

ordered some carhartt b11, the work dungarees. lets see how they do. I've just gotten pissed about dickies sizing being off every fucking time i order them from amazon. carhartt has never been bad to me in the sizing department pants wise, but the hoodies are just ungodly big.

Volcom jeans (Volcom always has good sales).

Specialty pockets (phone and stash) and just the right about of stretch. Plenty of different cuts as well.

Those black and white houndstooth ones are mad hard. They're pretty thin though, best for like summer.
Forgot to add, I ditched the 874s for OG Ben Davis pants and I'm never looking back. Looser fit, and they are easily worth the money in terms of durability, definitely taken some bumps that would leave a hole in 874s. Hoping that won't jinx it, but so far so good.

I got these with a 2" larger waist size for more crotch/thigh room:

I also got a couple pairs of these in different colors from $10-20:

I prefer not to wash these unless they're heavily stained, and look like homeless dirty. They stretch out after a session and feel perfect.

I don't believe in spending more than $30 on jeans/pants unless they're Levi's. After paying $50-60 for Emerica/Altamont for years, it's a rip off. If you scrape your knees when slamming, your pants are done.

The IZODs are more comfortable in the crotch and are lightweight...good for hot weather.  Dockers have a better texture/fit and are slightly thicker...I can wear them year-round, but they do get too sweaty if it's over 80F. Also, I can wear these pants to work, which means that's they automatically get broken in before I get to skate in them.

Now: Shorts
January: Khaki

I used to love those baggy Matix jeans when it was OK to dress like an asshole.

Vans jeans have good stretch as good as Volcom ones.levi cords are pretty good shit too

[chillclinton87]

i got me some pairs of the volcom frickin modern stretch pants, some volcom jeans and the quality is reeeeeaaally nice on those. but i found some DC roomy chinos that are pretty dope- but by now i only skate in some carhartt ripstop cargos i got on sale! i like those waaay more than i thought i would 

[Made In China]

I go to the thrift store buy whatever loose chinos they have in my size. I actually really like how pleats look so it works out.

[GAY]

I feel like I float in JNKO's but there's also something special about bert sliding in Danskins.

not 874 dickies

1 size up and you're good to go.
Although up until recently it was summer here so I was just rocking some well worn cargo shorts and some globe shorts that I got a while back that feel amazing. Looking for some good cords for the colder weather now...

[TheVisitor]

Anyone skating in Blind jeans or found something that fits similarly and doesn't cost $80 fucking dollars?

[Jonny Utah]

Carhartt or Dickies

Done it, they are indeed chill for summer. Only drawback is that they tend to have a really low crotch which will tear so so easily.

Walmart Levi's are like the bones reds of pants
My personal favorite pants have been a couple different pairs of Kr3w pants I got on sale years ago. very durable and have the built in belt. Still skating them now


I wear shorts all summer and a lot of spring out here in AZ tho

Are you talking about those Denizen joints? Those aren't bad, a lot of them have stretch in them for under $30.

Still gotta try a pair of these. Been looking at them for ever.

I live in these pants. Work and skate. Best pants I have ever owned. The double knee is pretty sick, they take so long to get ripped and a bunch of holes in them. I have been wearing the same ones for over a year. Few smalls tears and stuff but thats it. I recommended them.

[lamfordie]

For pants I really like the Kr3w chinos or Volcom frickin pants. Jeans would be the Kr3w jeans, levis 511 especially the commuter jeans.
