Dickies Men's 874 Flex Work Pant

I've been wearing different brands of work pants for the past 29 years. being an auto mechanic i have worn various brands mainly from the different Uniform suppliers. G&K, Unifirst, Cintas. All are si miller in style and all fit inconsistently. Dickies once you know the sizing I have found to be extremely consistent. Dickies also have the best fit, not too loose and not too tight. Just enough room in the legs and thighs to make all day comfort in a variety of situations be it sitting, standing, bending or squatting.A few year back i picked up my first pair of Dickies, the original 874. The original is a bit heftier in material that the uniform company ones. The key to the original to get them soft and wearable right away is to soak them in a bucket of salt water for 24 to 48 hours and then give them a wash or two.It is equivilent to about 20 washes which is basically what it takes otherwise to have the Original soft.With the Flex 874 they feel weight wise somewhere between the thinner Un iform company style Red Kap, etc) and the Original 874. They feel like the original at about twenty washed, nice and soft right off the shelf. Flex is just right for this style as any more and you would probably be looking and feeling like you were wearing athleisure stretch pants. The Flex maintains the exact look of the Original and you absolutely can't tell the difference by looks. The difference comes in comfort level. these are so much better than the original and that is saying a lot because the original is good. Durability wise i am not concerned in the least. Even the cheaper Uniform company ones i rarely ever had more than a hole in a knee after maybe three years of indiustrial washing service.The key to Dickies is that they run literally two sizes small in the waist. length is spot on but waist you want to size up two sizes. I am normally a 31 waist and depending on time of year might be as low as 30 1/2 to 31 1/2 because 30's are almost always too tight and 32's are generally require a belt. Dickies in 32 became too tight, they feel like 30's. I switched to 33 in Dickies waist and they fit beautiful.

These Dickie brand pants are a pleasure to wear for both casual and work wear. The fit and feel make them great. Like most things trying to find your style, size and color choices is sometimes difficult. The material is of a medium thickness and a good looked that has just enough give. The pockets are deep enough to ensure things stay where they are supposed to while roomy enough so you are being jabbed with the contents 👍👍👍👍👍

I have to give these 4/5 because they are very well made and look great. I imagine they're pretty durable as well. However, these "flex" pants do not flex *in the least.* Not a single square inch of these stretches in any direction. I've gotta return them, and I'm a bit sad because I think if they had at least *some* give, they'd be exactly what I'm looking for.

I ordered these because I wanted a pair of durable and comfortable pants anywhere.I am tired of wearing super slim pants/jeans that have little to no space in the thigh.These can be dressed up with a button-down shirt for work, or worn with a T-shirt for a skate session.The pants definitely run small in the waist. I wear 32x32 in everything, however with these I ordered a 34x32 and they fit perfect.For some reason, I remember 874s being considered baggy but these are not at all.I have thicker than average thighs (pause) and these fit just right.The waist does come up high to your belly button (not low rise), but I find it's more comfortable that way with plenty of crotch room for your genitals.The length is just right, however I will mostly wear them cuffed for style.I ordered the dark navy and it is a very very deep dark blue,but you can still tell it's not black.The material is not super duper stiff like the 874 originals are, the flex seems to be a softer material but in no way do they stretch.This is THE classic pair of pants.Order a pair of 874s.The only reason you won't like them is if you want a slimmer fit.If so, try the 873 but there is no crotch room.

These will, always and forever, be my favorite pants. I had never owned a pair of Dickies until about a year ago, and I am hooked!I'm a curvy woman (5'2", ≈190 lbs; tummy, big butt and short legs), so finding pants that I like can be a struggle. I've finally given up on jeans as a whole, so these Dickies were the perfect answer for me!I order men's sizes because I am not messing around with trying to interpret the arbitrary women's size charts. Ladies, if you didn't know, men's pant sizes are the literal waist and inseam measurements. The pairs I purchased were 40/30: 40" waist and 30" inseam. Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy. No more being an "18" in one brand and a "24" in another. Yeah, okay, these are a baggier fit. But hey, my ass is happy and these pants last a long time, so that's all that matters. My first pair were purchased about a year ago and they're still going strong after near-daily use as a retail-work uniform! Can't say the same about most pants these days. If you're in the market, catch these bad boys on a sale and enjoy the same experience I've had: totally worth it!

Nice quality, quick delivery but runs way way too small. Ordered a size up and still too small.

Perfect fit
