Shorts

$26as of Sep 6, 2026. Check the current price at Dickies

The verdict

A dependable choice for anyone who trusts the 874 pant and wants that fit as a short, with the Pro Series durability bump.

Fit

The 874 line runs a classic, slightly relaxed straight fit; true to waist size, not cut slim.

Quality

The 874 is Dickies' most established work silhouette, so expect consistent construction; Pro Series generally adds reinforcement over the standard 874, though exact fabric isn't specified.

Price check

At $34.99 this is fair mid-tier pricing for a recognized, long-running work short.

Best for

Someone who wants a proven, no-surprises work short rather than a newer or trend-driven cut.

Care

Wash cold and dry low — the 874's twill holds shape better without high heat.

What owners report about Dickies shorts

Owner reviews on retailer pages split into two camps. Many describe the shorts as durable and long-wearing, with one longtime buyer calling them 'the best work shorts on the market' that 'stand the test of time' through regular use, and noting they take many washes before fading becomes noticeable. Others report the opposite: zippers failing after only a few wears, seams tearing out at the seat, and sizing that varies noticeably between pairs of the same marked size.

Strengths: Long-term durability and comfort in daily wear are the most repeated praise, with several owners saying a pair lasted years without issue.
Watch out for: A recurring complaint is zipper failure after light use, plus some reports of seams tearing at the seat and sizing that varies between pairs.
Sizing: Sizing isn't fully consistent pair to pair — one owner said a marked size fit closer to two sizes down — so checking recent buyer comments before ordering is worth it.
