Any of yall wear dickies for skating / casual wear? Finally ripped both my pants skateboarding and hate buying new pants. Wear a 30/31 waist and 30” inseam. Went to pacsun and vans today and cant seem to find anything that fits right. Bit of a stockier dude so its hard to find pants that fit good and arent stupid skinny or to long when i get to my correct waist size. Any other brands yall like are welcome as well.

I have a pair of dickies 874 work pants that I skate in. They’re weird to break in but not like horribly awful like shoes. The pockets are all frayed from various falls after only like 1 year of skating them. Idk they’re nice pants though but I feel like they’re only popular bc of their team lol

Dickies fit weird, I like to sag my pants, dickies fit up on your waist and kinda hug your ass. If you like baggy pants I would definitely size up.

I only own dickies pants. The 874s fit kinda weird on me, but the double knees fit good and so do the slims. They are super tough(which should be expected from a work pant) with is a big pro when skating imo. Also, they are dirt cheap. May want to size up an inch on waist and inseam tho with dickies. Hope this helps

They were the best when i longboarded. Very durable took forever to wreck them. My dad bought my brother some Duluth fire hose pants whichI never got to try so another option if that’s what you’re looking for. But cheap and durable is definitely the dickies way

Didnt see this but can confirm. Got dickies from walmart yesterday and had to go up a size in the waist compared to what I normally would. They came out to be a little less than $20 after tax which I was stoked on. Had gone into Pacsun earlier that day and skate pants were $40 plus and I could tell they would rip as soon as I fell once.

Pants at walmart always used to fit wierd but I've got a couple pair of George pants from there. Fit better than any pants I've owned probably.

There not like work pants durable but I don't want that when walking around and skating. They haven't fallen apart on me yet of wearing constantly for a year ish.

Idk thats what Ive been digging right now
