Dickies 874 Denim & Work Jeans

The Dickies 874 jean adapts the iconic silhouette of their legendary work pant into denim form—maintaining the same no-nonsense functionality that made the original a skateboarding staple. Created by the Texas-based Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Company, this denim interpretation delivers the familiar straight-leg cut and durable construction that earned the 874 its reputation as skateboarding's unofficial uniform.

Like its twill counterpart, the 874 jean earned street credibility through skateboarding's search for cost-effective, durable jeans that could withstand repeated concrete encounters. The classic straight fit, reinforced stitching, and accessible price point created the perfect formula for skate adoption—practical enough for daily wear yet durable enough to survive sessions that would destroy lesser denim within weeks. What began as functional necessity transformed into established street culture staple.

Today's 874 jean maintains the same commitment to rugged functionality that made the original legendary—featuring resilient denim construction, traditional workwear details, and minimal branding that remains impervious to trend cycles. While fashion brands continually "reinterpret" workwear at premium prices, Dickies preserves both the accessible cost and genuine utility that cemented their reputation. Neither aggressively baggy nor restrictively slim, the 874 jean occupies that perfect middle ground of timeless design—authentic workwear that continues to outlast deliberate attempts at creating "classics."
