the pants, fabric, craftsmanship…are truly amazing! and the shirt is very cool too. I saw it recently and want a set very badly. I would pair the khaki shirt with a pair of classic levis… and then wear the hell out of the pants with every imaginable top there is. flannel, tshirt, chore coat… it goes with everything. heard smith and butler in brooklyn is carrying the stuff. thanks dickies. it will last a long time and is worth the price. BUY local!

I havent read through all your comments, but did notice some questions about the pricing, they might seem a bit over the top but lets face it more than half of our population buys jeans that cost over an arm and a leg just because they are some name brand, why not Dickies? Dickies is one of the best our there and their products are set to last a lifetime. Now the pricing in Dickies, I can guarantee you, has a lot to do with the dedication, craft, durability, quality, and the materials used to make the garments. Do some research and you all will be surprised!

This is definitely for the afficienado and stylin collector…no different than owning an Armani Suit…there is a customer for this as noted by the exclusive vintage clothing shops across the US. Kudo’s to Dickies.

The story says these items are being manufactured in a currently-running Dickies factory in TX. What s being produced there now? I had assumed that the company had halted all domestic production as was going to pull a Levi’s by having a contractor in the US produce these items.

I agree with Jay’s post earlier regarding the difficulty a brand has in moving up the food chain, once it has eaten the fruit of the discount chain distribution channel. Many have tried, many have failed. I, for one, think that what Dickie’s is trying to do, while laudable for it’s American roots and manufacturing intent, will meet with a great deal of price resistance from the consumer.

you can pick you pants, you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your bird with two stones…it’s like killing your nose to cut your pants…it’s just spiteful.

I had the chance to actually see and feel the product. It is the best twill garment I ever approached. Everything was done in a meticulous way. Bravo Dickies.

It’s great to see an original American manufacturer reaching back to their past making an accurate reproduction of classic American workwear. Up until now the only way to buy an authentic reproduction of the classic khaki trousers was from Buzz Rickson in Japan. Forget the lame attempts by Levi’s K-1, Bill’s Khaki’s, J Crew and RRL (made in China). Even if I have to pay more I’d much rather give my money to an American company making faithful reproductions of classic workwear right here in the US.

Weird…no one gave a rat’s a** about rotten working conditions back in the heyday of American clothing manufacturing. Maybe it’s all style over substance with y’all.
