Story & heritage

Original 874® Work Pants are Dickies’ anchor silhouette: official copy calls the 874 iconic since 1967 and the brand’s 874 page names it the original fit for work and off-duty wear.

The wider Dickies history starts in Fort Worth in 1922 with bib overalls, then expands into work pants, work shirts and a full workwear line; the 874 sits at the center of that uniform vocabulary.

Materials & craft

Dickies describes this pant as a relaxed, high-rise, straight-leg work pant in durable non-stretch twill that softens with wear.

The visible language is pure utility: center crease, reinforced seams, welt back pockets and wide tunnel belt loops built for a belt or tool belt.

How to choose & style

Wear the 874 as the foundation of a Dickies suit: pressed through the front, cropped cleanly over boots, skate shoes or simple sneakers.

Dark Brown and Black read closest to the workwear canon; lighter khaki and navy make the crease and straight leg feel more uniform-like.
