Dickies Men's Slim-Straight Stretch-Twill Cargo Pant

Exactly what I needed for work. Something fashionable and work orientated. Should easily last me 3 years just like the last Dickies trousers did

Please read for long-winded story to help you with waist sizing, different colour sizing and leg (inseam) length!I normally wear a size 29 waist in mens Jeans and can sometimes get away with a 28 waist depending on the material if they have 1-2% elastane (stretch) but material like 100% cotton / no stretch in a 28 waist will be just too tight for me (even when wetting them and doing squats etc to stretch them out.) Good trick try it : )So the long story long is I purchased a pair of Dickies slim fit cargo pants - Desert colour on a different site (NOT AMAZON) that were a 29 waist 32 leg (inseam) (29x32) and when they arrived they were not cargo pants but the Dickies slim fit tapered leg - Desert Sand colour (WP596DS) 29x32 they look like normal work pant / chinos but with a cell phone pocket on right leg (NO cargo pockets) and have the metal waist hook (not button). They fit me perfectly but I did notice that for a 32 leg (inseam) they seemed rather short (which they were; they were really a 31.5" leg (Inseam) so if you want a 30" leg get the 32" leg and get them taken up (Hemmed) because if you buy a 30" leg you'll very likely end up with a 29.5" Leg for some stupid reason.So I then started a search for what I wanted (as the original seller (not amazon) listed them wrong and didn't have the cargo pants version) so searching for the cargo pants version they were all sold out at Dickies Australia and other sellers in Australia.I ended up checking Amazon.com.au and seeing they were available via Amazon/Prime free shipping and nearly half the price as they were selling them in Australia (Amazon.com.au approx $60 AUD / Dickies Australia $100 AUD) tho the desert sand colour prices changed dramatically with sizing 30x32 = $89 AUD but the 28x32 = $58 AUD)So only issue was I wanted a 29 waist but they don't sell a 29 waist... from what I could see they never did the in-between sizing for this style: eg 29,31,33,35 etc so the big question was go up to a 30 waist or down to a 28 waist?So I first ordered a 30 waist with a 32 leg (30x32) in the Dark Navy and Black - Dickies Slim Fit / Straight leg Cargo Pant also found a Moss (green) Dickies Regular Fit straight leg Cargo Pant 30x32 which was on special for cheaper $40 AUD to see the difference between slim fit and regular fit.I ordered these 3 only as they were all being shipped from Amazon Australia where the colour I wanted (desert sand) was only in the US so shipping would take longer to check sizing and they were more expensive $89 AUD as I said above.The size 30 waist was massive and ridiculously too baggy for me (I prefer more fitted (but not tight fit) than baggy and more hugging the butt a bit than like I’ve crapped my pants - Tho you may prefer otherwise, each to their own!)The Regular Fit was as expected even baggier then the slim fit and looked terrible on me.So I returned them all for a refund and ordered the 28 waist (28x32) in the desert sand, dark navy & black Dickies Slim Fit / Straight Leg Cargo pant and this time they were slightly cheaper again for some reason and all coming from the US. (the desert sand 28 waist were approx $30 cheaper than the 30 waist desert sand.)So they all arrived…28 waist / 32 leg (inseam) again not really a 32 leg (inseam they are all 1/2” (half an inch) shorter than labelled so be warned!As for waist sizing they are all different depending on colour which is common with materials:Black is the tightestDark Navy was in the middle (between the black and desert sand sizing)And Desert Sand was the loosest waist (and best fitting for me!) which is great as they are more like a 29 waist as they are the same size in the waist as my other pair (Dickies slim fit tapered leg - Desert Sand colour (WP596DS) 29x32) Yep! now you see why I crapped on about all that at the start!I’d say seem the 28 waist desert sand cargo pants have a button instead of a metal hook (like the 29 no cargo pocket pair) they are a little looser and fit like a 29 waist.I would say the Black is more like a true 28 waist seem darker materials seem to always be tighter and less give/stretch (It gives me a muffin top and wedgie - they are that tight), the Dark Navy would be a 28.5 waist (slight muffin top and no wedgie) and the Desert Sand fits like a 29 waist (even tho labelled 28 waist) (it fits perfect - no muffin top and no wedgie) which worked out great as I wanted the desert sand colour more than anything to fit. I was tempted to wet the Black and Dark Navy pants and do squats to see if they would stretch out (which they prob would as they are 65% polyester and 35% cotton) but decided it wasn’t worth the money as they did give me a muffin top and they looked too workman for what I wanted so I returned them.I’d prefer them without the cell phone pocket (when you’ve already got a cargo pocket) but hey if I was a handyman it would be very useful.I will also add as I did see others have written in the reviews the zip fly is shorter than normal and when pulling the pants up the zip’s pull tab will gouge into your balls so be careful of that! (Can’t say I’ve ever encountered this issue before with a zip fly) but there is a first for everything! They are great fitting and looking cargo pants so worth the precious goods risk haha; But maybe if you’re more gifted than me this might be a big* no no! (*pun intended) Hahahaha!Hope this Novella was helpful and put a smile on your dial.To help with sizing further, measuring my waist where the pants sit on me (below waist but above hips) I’m 33” (33 inches) but I normally wear 29” (29” inch) Jeans / Pants… confusing I know but that’s how it is. Hope this helps!28x32 - Dickies Slim Fit / Straight Leg Cargo Pant (65% polyester and 35% cotton)Product codes below:(WP594DS) - WP (work pant?) - 594 (style code) - DS (Desert Sand) Colour(WP594BK) - Black(WP594DN) - Dark Navy

I was searching for great pants to wear while out EMTing since the previous ones I had were very baggy around the legs, and these fit great. They fit exactly as you would hope, the pockets are great, though oddly enough the only issue I have with these is the weirdly short zipper fly opening. Not sure why it was made this way and makes using it a bit of a struggle, but overall I am very pleased with these pants.

I love the overall fit.

La talla fue la adecuada, la calidad de la tela es aceptable, y práctico con los bolsillo extras, me agrado y lo volvería a comprar. Buena calidad vs precio.

Ordered 4 prs, 2 prs fit perfectly, 1 pr was too small in the waist, 1 pr was too big in the waist, luckily, I have a tailor next to my work, he adjusted them for me. I ordered size 28x32, my actual waist measures 30",.most pants are cut 2" larger than the label size. 2 prs were perfect, I pr measured 31.5"( too big) 1 pr measured 29"(too small)
