Dickies work trousers

Types and details

The Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Company was founded in 1922 in Fort Worth, Texas, according to the Dickies guide. Most items in this collection are straight-leg work trousers, and eight are cargo pants with patch or flap pockets. All items are cotton or a cotton blend, and many are twill. Black is the most common colour, followed by navy, beige and brown. Most items are meant for men or unisex wear, and 15 are also meant for women.

Size and measurements

Trousers are sized in inches as waist and inseam, written as 34x28 in the title. Waist sizes run from 22 to 52 and inseams from 26 to 38, and 34 is the most common waist. On the pairs with flat measurements, every waist and every inseam is within 1 inch of the size in the title. According to the Dickies guide, waistbands can stretch with wear and hems can be altered, so the measured inseam is a better guide than the label.

Each pair is measured flat at the waist and the inseam. The waist is taken across the waistband and doubled, and the inseam runs from the crotch seam to the hem, as explained in the guide to measuring clothing.

The full range is available at Dickies, with a separate page for Dickies shirts and pages for men and women. The guide to workwear fabrics covers twill, canvas and denim.
