Right now my Dickies pants. Love them and it kills me not knowing the model. Inside they only say "slim taper" and dickies flex. No number whatsoever. They have a weird pocket behind the right knee tho

Are these them? I've been thinking of grabbing a pair.

They look almost the same but that weird right leg back pocket is not that up.
I couldn't care less about said pocket but I'm afraid that I would get some pants and they won't feel like the ones I'm talking about.

I'm thankful for:
DLX 8.06x31.8"/14.38"WB shape <3
Indy standards 139/Thunder hollow light 147
Formula 4s and that Spitfire is rereleasing OG classics. I dearly love the og font and the turbine graphic is beautiful
Converse Cons one star pros
Investing my money in some Bones Swiss Bearings after that Bronson fiasco
My ankle compression sleeve, studded foam roller, lacrosse ball, Everymile balancer, stationary bike I found on the sidewalk, arnica gel, Charlottes Web cbd, ( my rad physical therapists, ortho surgeon, Elm Drug Pharmacy, and my CPA groups. They aren't gear but I am so grateful <3 )
Finding Parade World with love to Labor, KCDC, and Orchard
After PT told me to wear mid tops until ankle surgery walking into the Vans store and buying some Half Cab Pros and the new insole is so nice and I'm so grateful to wear Vans again
The NYC LGBTQ+ Coda rainbow curbs Pat Smith and Mecos Roman make and place throughout the 5 boroughs. I finally learned back lipslides on one of them
My Fastcap standard easy half pro carpenter measuring tape. It's perfect and even has red markers for 16ths
Pelikan inks and Flashe paint
Slap for its wheelbase / truck madness helping me find my shape/sweet spot
I found a Toy Machine cruiser in the trash that was all tagged up and one wheel was fucked up-like cored like an apple and they had the bones bushing in the indy stage Xs upside down haha. I'm fixing it up for my friend's son. The search for the perfect wheels for his first setup is a next level madness as well as what Transformer to paint on it for the graphic and what kind of grip job to do.

Shalom <3

Thankful for good wheels. I kind of bug on having to choose between F4 and NFG/Loophole but it rules so much that wheels as good as either exist. I don't remember anything back in the day being anywhere near as good.

venture 5.2 lows
learned a ton on them this year, its a shame that the 5.6/8.5 combo has phased them out of rotation. might bite on the 5.6 lows if they ever come into production
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

new Thunder 149 polished.

had my old Indy's for like 7 years. They had no half a bushing in back and none in front. Kingpins were dented on both and trucks were ground to right above the axel. new trucks are a blessing.

Not gear per se, but I'm thankful for all the stylin' on you threads. They make my day every fucking time! More so on the days I don't get to skate, since it cheers me up in place of riding the gear I'm thankful to toy around on!

- Indys. No other truck compares and they work well and look good. Will never skate another brand as long as I can.
- Etnies Michelin cupsoles: Marana and Joslins. They're my reliable homebase that I venture back to after trying other shoes that don't meet my expectations.
- Bones STF. However, a F4 CF set I'm on may sway me to Spitfires to be thankful for. Hahah
- Slap's gear Madness! It's only affected my deck and shoe madness a little bit. Thankfully not wheels, trucks, or any other parts. But the insight on how and why my gear works a certain way is appreciated.
- DLX wood and Primitive decks (shapes only not graphics). Another reliable homebase when deck madness elsewhere isn't working out for me.
- Volcom pants: Fricken Modern Stretch and VMonty Chinos are the fucking truth! Flexible, durable, comfortable, and have a lot of good colors (khaki, black, mushroom, and dark green are my faves)

Thankful to nerd out on skating with other skate rats on here! I know I'll see some of you out and around but just won't put a username to the person haha!

Try contacting Dickies directly, their customer service is really good they'll probably be able to help you figure it out
You know I thought these forums were a for skating not discussing fetishes
