Fit guide 874 Compared to the 873 and 872 styles, Dickies 874 work pants have a much more loose fit. The model is especially popular within skaters, since the pants have plenty of space around thighs and legs, which makes them extremely comfortable to wear. The pants sit over the hip bones on the waist and they have a normal crotch and leg length. The material can feel a bit "stiff" during the first times you are having them on, but after a couple days or a wash or two, it becomes a lot softer and comfortable. The 874 model fits well with many outfits and they have a really cool look with a twist. So whether you use them when you go to work or to skateboard, they are an assured winner.
