Dickies Shorts

I dont know if these exact model is still made or not. It was ran at Target a few years back. These are hands down the best shorts ever made. They wear like iron, extremly affordable at $20,  dont fade, dont stain and work great for cycling (I have put 1000s of miles on mine and they still look great). . I think i have 4 pairs but have been unable to find more. I did write to corporate and talked to a rep and they said these dont make these anymore which is sad. I told them i would buy 10 pairs right now if they had any left over stock in my size and i would pay full price but no luck.

What makes these great as well is they have a proper button and not that stupid little worthless clip that all other Dickies pants have. It is a proper metal button.

Dickies has gone down hill over the years. They have lines / models that the only sell to Target and Walmart which i guess is normal for most companies but the quality was still the same. That really really stiff twill fabric they use is fantastic. It takes a few wearings / washes to get them to calm down but once they do, they are perfect. 

I have scoured online overstock sites and ebay for them but cant find them in the exact model i want (with the metal button).  I have even ordered probably 7 different pairs from amazon.......and then returned them because they are not the same. 

The model was / is WR201 followed by a color code of bk, slv, gry etc.

Some other stupid things i cant stand is Dickies stock pictures of the current line of all pants and shorts show the pants with a belt. You cant see the closure system and it doesn't state what it is. How in the world do you know how your pants will close? That little buckle system they have might work fine but it looks like it would break, bend or fail before anything else and it looks stupid.

The best replacement i have found is the industrial line of uniformware they make. Thing is they dont fit the same. About an inch longer and a different color. They have a few other differences as well...but they are close enough i guess. I just dont like them as much. 

Verdict: Highly Recommended (if you can find them)
