Dickies started in 1922 in Texas, built to make affordable and durable workwear. Originally focused on mechanics, farmers, and workers, the brand became global as it provided quality and toughness in it's pants and jackets. By the 1990s, Dickies exploded in street culture, with skaters loving the baggy pants, and West Coast rappers turning their workwear into street style.
Dickies pants, shirts, and jackets became iconic in both skateparks, music videos, and everyday streetwear. The most iconic vintage piece is the 874 Original Work Pant, released in 1967 and favored for its high-rise, wrinkle-resistant polyester-cotton twill. Other staples include the Eisenhower Jacket, originally inspired by WWII military uniforms, and the brand's first-ever product: the heavy-duty bib overalls. These garments gained "cult" status in the late 20th century as they were adopted by skateboarding, hip-hop, and punk subcultures who valued their "indestructible" build and affordable, utilitarian aesthetic. Today, authentic vintage Dickies -especially those made in the USA, are highly sought after for their superior construction, featuring triple-stitched seams and robust brass zippers that exemplify the brand's nearly century-long legacy of resilience.
Vintage Dickies have become hot items in thrift stores, regularly worn as is or used to rework into new trendy styles. The brand’s appeal comes from being authentic and affordable, offering timeless style at prices that won’t wreck your budget.
