Dickies 873 Slim Straight Work Mens Chino Pant - Charcoal Grey

These pants are great, they fit well, they are comfortable, and warm but not too warm. There's some light pilling (a surface defect of textiles caused by wear) on the thigh / crouch area already after wearing them consistently for a week (I also noted some stretching of the seems, showing the thread, but it's nothing I am worried about currently). While this may not be a sign of poor craftmanship, or materials used: I am aware of it. The front waist of the pants sits higher than I personally expected. It does ride up over my belt, which causes odd bunching, and correcting every so often. It's not terrible by any means. It may seem like I do not like these pants, but I really do love them, and the company Dickies overall. I may try a different cut next time, but ... MoreThese pants are great, they fit well, they are comfortable, and warm but not too warm.

Very recommended, but please keep note of my light concerns after three-ish weeks of wearing these.

Had to return the work pants because the zipper is only 3 inches long. That is way to short for a man. They need to be at least 5 inches long, otherwise a man would have to take his pants off just to urinate. We checked all of my husband's other pants and the zippers are at least 5 inches long. If you made them with longer zippers, we would buy them again. The material is so durable and easy to keep clean. My husband was a former insurance adjuster and these pants were part of his uniform.

I love the durability of Dickies but sizing is impossible to predict. I have 5 873 pants and all 5 runs different. I normally wear 32 or 33 pants. And this 873 pant I have one size 33, and 4 size 34. The first 2 I bought runs like a normal 33 and these last 2 I bought runs like a normal 34. I really don’t know what size to buy. It is always a gamble.
