Dickies makes American workwear that crossed into skate and streetwear: the 874 work pant, 873 slim straight, Eisenhower and duck canvas jackets, coveralls and bib overalls, plus a skateboarding line. Founded in Fort Worth, Texas in 1922 as the Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Company, it was bought by VF Corporation in 2017 for $820 million. In September 2025 VF agreed to sell Dickies to brand management firm Bluestar Alliance for $600 million in cash, with closing expected around the end of 2025. Most core pieces sell under $100.

Does Dickies run big or small?
Dickies runs large. Most people size down one (or take a smaller waist than their jeans size) unless they specifically want the classic baggy workwear look. Dickies is widely described as cutting generously for work movement, so garments typically feel a size larger and roomier than modern casualwear from the same nominal size.
