What do you think or know about Dickies clothing?

Just curious really, I know they started out as work-wear and still are but have also been adopted by a number of niche groups like skaters and bikers (motorbikes) but wondered if they were popular amongst casual cyclists (not the lycra brigade) or on the fixeh scene?

Who cares if they are or not? Wear what you wanna wear, but in case you wanna know, i skate and ride fixed in dickies, tis awesome.
And only a skateboarder will truly know how tough clothes are, and dickies are pretty tough.

dickies are super hard wearing and relatively cheap. I know a number of people who love them x

Dickies are well tough, I've got a lovely pair of WW 2 era chinos they repro'd back in 2004...

Yeah, spent many an hour trawling a mate's dad's workwear catalogue for Dickies and Carharrt stuff as a teenager. Very cheap and very tough!

they have the word dick in them, so fuck yea.

like, not found anything cut well for cycling, but then, didn't realise you could buy it here so haven't really looked at any since I was last in north america about 5 years ago.

There clothes are well baggy, so they dont really fit in with the retro slim fitting ways of the modern fixeh hipsta.

But I was sure rocking that look up until about 2005 when I realised it made me look like a toddler. I couldnt actually afford the dickies shorts which had to be imported from the USA at the time. So I made my own!

Ben Davis is also like dickies, but better. They have a gorilla.

I like their simplicity, not 100% on the fabric (polyester cotton mix) especially in the summer heat but I guess they wear well and hardly mark. Bought a load of trousers and shirts when I was in NYC last about 6 years ago and they lasted and lasted. Even though they're not pricey the quality does seem to be pretty good. They're certainly tough.

Also - shit for cycling.
Many people in my field (AV/events) wear Dickies black combats, as black combats and black polo are kinda uniform of AV technicians and riggers.

Skaters rather wear their chinos. Because they're cheap.

Shit cut, though.

+1 for Ben Davis.
Dickies is fine but Ben Davis is the shizzle.

Have this same one for the past ~15years, perfect still.

I wear a their work trouser - black poly/cotton mix, cut to 3/4 & hand-stiched
20 miles a day every day in all weather.
I was knocked off by a car on thursday morning hit the tarmac at 25mph not a scratch on my legs.

Thoroughly recommended for short (sub 50mile) rides

Not sure here, but in Japan they have 3/4s for cycling.

(stussy)

Ive always liked Dickies clothes. I have a couple of shirts and chinos by them. really comfy and just wardrobe essentials. Understated

I have not heard of this Ben Davis. will check out.

much like carharrt there are two sides to dickies

there is the 'bought it in a farm shop' dickies trousers that always seem really wide and have a hammer loop

and then there is the 'lets do a colab with rebel 8' dickies trousers that fit properly,

look out for the 'fashion' versions and there normally a better fit, might cost a little more but the same hard wearing,
that japanese thingy up there will be japan only, as its properly a separate brand.
