I’m retired spend most of my time in my workshop or doing maintenance on outbuildings on our rural property. I really like Dickies Duck Logger pants, but they seem to wear out quickly. I have three pairs that get worn almost constantly in rotation. The oldest pair is now just over two years old and is worn out - I’ve repaired the seam in the crotch once, but now the fabric either side of it is thread bare. My phone has worn trough the bottom of the right front pocket.
Are there similar pants that will last longer, or am I expecting too much?
I’m in Canada.
Just FYI, not all Dickies are created equally. They sell lower quality ones at places like Walmart. The material is thinner and the stitching uses thinner thread and a different stitch pattern.
I still wear some Dickies I bought 25 years ago.
Well - I’m surprised. Dickies Canada customer care team actually replied and confirmed that “Genuine Dickies” (the brand sold at Walmart) is not genuine Dickies - it’s a different brand and is lower quality.
I’m tempted to boycott them now for allowing their brand to be abused like that, but I said in my email to them that I’d try real Dickies if they confirmed there is a difference - so I will.
