Rule #1: Don’t overwash. These pants are made to handle dirt, grease, and whatever else life throws at you. Every wash strips a little bit of that toughness away. Let 'em ride another round if they don’t stink and they’re not visibly filthy.

When it’s time for a proper clean:
✅ Cold water, always. Hot water wrecks fibres and fades colours.

✅ Mild detergent, no bleach. Harsh chemicals weaken the fabric over time.

✅ Inside out. It protects the outer layer and keeps colours sharp.

Drying: Keep It Cool

Heat is a killer. High-heat dryers shrink fabric, weaken stitching, and give your pants a weird, stiff feel. Air drying is the move—hang ‘em up, let nature do its thing. In a rush? Tumble dry low, but don’t make a habit of it.

Battle-Tested Longevity Hacks

🧱 Pockets ain’t storage lockers. Overstuff ‘em, and you’ll wear ‘em out faster.

🧱 Reinforce the stress points. If you’re putting serious mileage on these, consider stitching up the knees and seat before they even wear down.

🧱 Store ‘em right. Don’t just toss ‘em in a pile. Fold ‘em, hang ‘em, whatever—just don’t treat ‘em like a gym towel.

Stain Removal: Because Life’s Messy

Spills happen. Here’s how to handle ‘em:
🧱 Oil & grease? Hit it with cornstarch or baking soda, brush it off, then wash.

🧱 Ink? Rubbing alcohol. Dab it, don’t rub, or you’ll make it worse.

🧱 Paint? Scrape off the excess before it dries—if it sets, congrats, you just made custom workwear.

Final Word: Wear ‘Em, Don’t Baby ‘Em

Dickies aren’t meant to sit in a closet. They’re meant to be lived in. Take care of ‘em, and they’ll take care of you—day in, day out, for years.
