Loose Fit Cargo Pants

Long-term owners describe Dickies pants' poly-cotton twill as tough — it 'resists abrasion, sheds light dirt, and holds its shape' — but note durability is uneven across the garment: 'the fabric often outlasts the small components,' with 'pocket corners, pocket edges, and closures (zippers/buttons)' failing before the main cloth, plus inner-thigh abrasion and knee wear in high-movement jobs. A separate hands-on review of the workwear line praised the build quality directly, calling out 'top-notch feel' materials and pocket construction, with a reinforced hem noted as 'a nice touch' where shoes cause added wear.

Strengths

Reviewers agree the core twill fabric itself is tough and abrasion-resistant, holding its shape wash after wash.

Watch out for

The recurring failure point isn't the fabric but the hardware and stress points — pocket corners, seams, and zipper or button closures tend to go before the cloth does.

Sizing

Fit varies by cut within the line — reviewers say the waist should sit secure without pulling at the button when seated and the thighs should allow a full squat without tightness, with roomier fits feeling bulkier and slimmer fits offering less give.
