DickiesWomen's Relaxed Cargo Pant

I’ve had one pair of these for a few years now, they were a little too big when I first got them then I had a baby so I’ve filled them out a little more since then but still need a belt. I originally bought them for working retail but have since used them for yard work, woodworking, painting, and other house projects and these are probably the best work pants I have ever owned. I’m able to keep my paint key, box cutter, pencils, scraper, paint brushes, screws, nails, car keys, credit card, air pods, phone, etc. all in my pockets and I’m not running around looking for stuff when working on projects like I would wearing normal jeans. I will definitely be purchasing another pair at some point!

I was a bit nervous about purchasing pants over the internet, but gained enough confidence to do so after reading a review from a woman who matched my description. I am 5'7 120-125lbs, wide hips with a small waist and a long torso. These pants (the olive green size 4) fit like a glove! Absolutely perfect length in the legs, no muffin top, no camel toe, no bulging thighs. I am so happy with these pants that I purchased the black and brown, and am waiting for the khaki to be available in my size.Why I purchased these pants:I am a UC college student and I walk to class each day with my clipboard and blank paper, pencil and eraser pen, phone, and wallet. I don't like wearing a backpack because not only do I have scoliosis so the walk kills my back, it is also just unnecessary to bring anything more than I described to class, as the desks can't fit anything but a notebook. I also don't like using a purse because it is just one more thing to worry about and look out for, when all I do on the daily is carry what I described.That said, I was looking for some cargo pants to hold my wallet, samsung galaxy s4 phone, pencil and eraser pen.These pants are very good in doing what bought them for. One small hitch is the fact that the rear and front pockets are pretty much worthless for holding anything but credit cards, because while my galaxy s4 fits entirely in the front pocket without peaking out, it is a tight fit. Deep pockets, but tight. The saving grace to this is the pouches on the legs. The pouches can hold my wallet and monstrosity of a phone with an otterbox case without issue. They are also very easy to access as they are large enough without seeming bulky, and velcro! Love velcro. So much easier to open and close than buttons; snaps or otherwise. On the left side slightly above and to the right of the pouch is a slit where you can hold pencils and pens. Sitting down and crossing my legs, or sitting normally in a chair isn't influenced by putting pens in this small pocket. Very well placed. Everything is also held without bulk, which is nice! Especially for such a slim looking pant!So, with my phone in the right pouch, wallet in the left, and pencils in their respective place, I can trudge onward towards class with comfort, style, and convenience. I even like the placement of my items a lot more-so than in my other cargo pants, where I held everything in the front thigh pockets, whatever they are called. There is far less bulk this way!I highly recommend if you are in a similar situation to me. Or, if you just want a nice looking slimming pant.

I own two pairs of these work pants: Black and Khaki.I'm about 5'7", 125 lbs and the size 4 is perfect for me. The waist on these pants is lower and a bit tighter than some other Dickies styles. This is great for me, as I have wide hips and a small waist. The style is great-looking: feminine but utilitarian, too.The material doesn't seem particularly rugged, but it's not super-thin either. The 100% cotton is soft and reasonably thick. The handiest feature is probably the pocket on the left leg for writing utensils. It's good placement - easy to reach, yet out of the way and not liable to fall out when I'm seated (as items are known to do sometimes from front pockets).The biggest disappointment with these pants, though, has to be the rear pockets. They are absolutely useless. I am a wallet-carrying woman, not a purse-carrying kind. My wallet belongs in my back pocket and with these pants I need to put it in a cargo pocket. I work in a factory, and sometimes it would be nice to be able to get full utility from the pockets when I have a lot to carry around. Another .5"-1" in pocket depth would eliminate this complaint, and make the pants infinitely better.Another problem, that I have had only with the black pair is some seam trouble. After only one wear and wash, the trim at the left front pocket has separated from the pant leg/front of pants. This is a pretty glaring quality problem for after only one wear. Upon closer inspection, it seems as though whoever stitched the pants sewed the trim too close to the edge of the pocket and missed part of it.If fashion is your goal, these are great pants - go for it. If utility is your main objective, the quality and design of these may or may not work for you.FYI - The product description says the bellowed pockets have hook and loop closure - this means velcro, nothing fancy.Finally, a note on color - the khaki is darker than pictured.Pros:Good quality materialsGood length and styleWriting utensil pocketCons:Material could be more ruggedRear pockets too small for my walletInconsistent construction quality - Dickies has serious problems with seams

Was looking everywhere for pants that are breathable and 100% cotton, love the fact that Dickies cared about making these for working women on duty, has lots of pockets, even make a nice behind!Only thing you have to think about is cotton fades faster than any material, so yes, there is some fading that will happen. Try sticking to washing with blacks only, or get the woolite black detergent.If you really don’t wanna get rid of them, you could also throw themIn some toxic free fabric die, eventually, down the road. This is not the manufacturers fault. This is simply because it’s 100% cotton, but keepIn mind, is actually better for your body and healthier for a Woman to wear, especially, every single day.
