Dickies vs Carhartts!!!!!

[@bobther0bot]

I think it's important to mention to anyone checking this out that Ben got "Genuine Dickies," which is a reduced quality line exclusive to walmart. They're basically the same cost as proper dickies models but with even worse materials and finish to maximize profits. Original dickies are better, but they're still like $25 USD, so the issues he brings up are still valid, just less severe.

[@bendegros]

Whoops!! 😂 Oh well. I wish I knew this before I made the video. It does make a good point about whether it's worth it to make cheaper versions of a product without having it labelled as such. I would have never known there were better quality options. As far as I was concerned they were hot trash and I never would have bought them again.

[@sharkfinplays2760]

This is such a good point, I was thinking the exact same thing, Walmart quality is inferior to the original dickes

The double knees from Dickies are my favorite even though it has that layer on the knee, it is just a bit more balanced and not as thick as double front pants and look really well in my opinion. It feels long enough to me but I'm 5'9 and I get a bunch of heel drag on the bottom. But I do agree that they get tattered up with relative ease. But for a quick and easy pant that I know will get abused it works well for my needs.

[@wheresmyrooptoff4056]

874s cost the same as some Walmart dickies and depending on what walmart you go to they sell good models of Dickies.

[@TheClayHadley]

Dickies has, to my understanding, at least two lines. The stuff they ship to Walmart isn’t the same stuff they ship to their stores or if you buy direct online. Quality is still relatively low but I do think they’re better than the Walmart pants. They’re also labeled better with different fit numbers. Dickies also get WAY more comfortable when you wash and wear them a bunches. Interested to try carhartts, when I get a chance. Dickies do not cut it for these toasty southern summers.

[@sammycalifornia8002]

Carhartt has a streetwear brand (Carhartt WIP) that has a model called “Simple Pant”. 100% cotton, light material, loose fit and no hammer loops. Pretty expensive in Europe, but good for skating.

You’re 100% right about pants and skating. I can’t skate if I’m wearing pants that don’t feel good to me. Right now, my favorite pants are the RSQ Chinos from Tillys. So good.

Those were my shit 7 years ago!! I didn't know they still made those! 😯 Never saw them again at some Tillys near me a couple years back so I thought they were done! I may have to grab some again to try! I've been running Volcom Frickin Modern Chinos to replace those RSQ's I had

[@thegrindtopar]

Yo have you heard of Carhartt's other brand Carhartt WIP? WIP stands for Work in Progress, and it's their fashion/streetwear/skate focused clothing line. I think pretty much all of their pants and denim would suit what you're looking for really well. They definitely cost more but you can also find them on sale fairly often with different retailers. The way to differentiate regular Carhartt clothing from Carhartt WIP is that the inside label and tags will say "Carhartt Work in Progress." They even have a skate team.

[@thebayharborbutcher9115]

The best looking pants there were the Haggar's you were wearing. I've actually been into pleated pants recently. Apparently they're back in fashion now so win win. As for Carhartt, I have a pair of their B13 carpenter jeans. Love the fit of them, but the denim they're made out of is a lot thinner than I was expecting and it's also a bit starchy. Still, they're great in winter because they're loose fit. It means I can easily wear a pair of joggers underneath them for extra warmth. I bought some Dickies jeans recently too, but they have the opposite problem from the 864's you bought. The waist is a size larger than it's supposed to be, so I'm gonna have to get them taken in a couple inches.

Unsurprisingly poor quality from a store like Walmart. My favorite pants to skate in when I was young were Army pants. I think I got them at an Army surplus store.

You touched on something important, Ben, when you mentioned the pants getting stuck to you in the humidity. Nothing’s worse than pants bunching up around my thighs, hampering the range of motion. I’ve found Rothco BDU’s and Nike SB pants to have a nice roomy, lightweight fit, which is perfect for the sweltering furnace of East Coast summers (shorts are out of the question). For the fall/winter/spring, I’ve been skating these relaxed fit, 4-way stretch Wranglers I got at Target a few years ago. Been curious about the flannel-lined work pants for the brick season, but worried they’ll feel like lead.

I had dickies for work and now I bought carharts, but yeah dickies was more durable compared to my other denim.

But they feel really synthetic and weird, but as soon as I put carharts on they felt super comfortable. I love everything about them, I just don’t know how durable they are

[@makrospex]

Super important topic to make a video on, thanks Ben! Why super important? Let me explain: I am wearing the Carhartt "Simple Pant" for Skating, Business, working and everday use for more than 20 years now, it is my go-to trousers. Once i was out to try getting some SP's in a skate shop, but they didn't have them. The seller just said: "You can buy Dickies, they're made out of the same fabric". I was almost choking when i tried to suppress my laugh :D But the Simple Pants today are a bit different. They are available in three different fabrics now. They stitching is not so soft as it was before, the Polyester was 20%, now it's 30%, which makes the fabric ("Denison Twill") a little less soft and smooth. Then there's the higher quality cotton and Cordura (iirc, see webiste), which i didn't try. They have no side pockets, just two good sized ones on the front and on the back, i never had a problem getting a bigger wallet into the back pockets. They're cut very straight, triple stitched. One of the newer ones had a broken zipper after a while (the first broken zipper on one of my carhartt's in my life), the other one had a little hole after a fall on concrete (perfectly rolled, no sliding, but quite a hard hit). They hold up really well and look just simple and loose, they are light and not too warm to skate in summer, outside of the really hot hours. Movement doesn't feel restricted in these, too, but i think they were a tad wider in the past. They're still nowhere near slim or tight and i usually buy these off the website in any available color for 69 Euros (about 80 Dollars), sometimes as low as 30 Euros in some colors on sale, usually around 50 when stil availablel in my size (29/32). Try these Ben, if you are looking for a simple, thin and loose fitted pair of trousers. You might prefer the cotton ones, which are a bit more costly.

[@BRZguy]

You should check out Artform Cargo Pants. They are extremely comfortable. If you go up in size, you get a nice flowy baggy feel, plus they have ties around the waist so they can be fitted at a bigger size.

If I could change my pants I definitely would. I like a straight fit with the flex comfort or whatever you call it. Feels nice on the jewels when doing flip tricks like hard flips that require my legs to spread pretty far😂

it seems like you would want a little of spandex/synthetic material in your pants especially if you're skating because you need the flexibility. 100% cotton is good but it's also what makes pants tight and rigid. vintage denim jeans are usually 100% cotton but are tight and dont stretch at all.
