I previously purchased a pair of 34x32 and left a review for them. Having several negative issues with my dickies search the first time around I wrote them off as being inconsistent. But dickies has one of the best belt loop systems in my opinion. I love how it’s the exact width of a belt with no wiggle room and on the back side there are 3 belt loops, 7 total on the pants.During this purchase I tried slim taper, slim straight, slim skinny, and back to my original skinny straight. Please know that skinny is a tighter than slim.Slim straight and slim taper were similar. The material seems softer than the skinny straights and way more room from thigh to ankle. Tapered or straight, it was way too loose for my taste as I like a Levi’s 511/slim jean look. The grey color with the “slim” styles were a lighter shade of grey and the charcoal with the skinny straights is much darker.Slim skinny was nice but only available in black. I’d say this was the closest to a Levi’s 511. A fitted thigh and a quick taper to the ankle. A “skinny Jean” that’s comfortable and not too tight. Because it was only available in black, even though I love black jeans, I wanted grey and other colors.The skinny straight won as being the only pair out of the ones I tried that had a slim/skinny leg opening. Aside from the slim skinny pants, the skinny straight would be the only pair of pants dickies makes I would call slim, skinny, or tapered.Here’s what I did. Size up when purchasing dickies. I wear 34” in other jeans like Levi, Denizen, Good Fellow. But in dickies, sizing up on my most recent pair fit perfect. These say flex but they do not flex. Nothing remotely close to a spandex/stretchy material. When they talk about flex, they could be referring to the fact that the pants start out a bit tighter and stiffer but slightly loosen and soften over the course of wearing it until they are washed. Then it snugs up again until worn for a few hours.I’m extremely happy this time around with my purchase. I gave them 4 stars because the search for the pants was very difficult. Here’s what you need to remember. Size up, know they will get a tad looser in both the leg and waist. If you like a slim or skinny fit, these are the only dickies I would put into that category with the exception of maybe the slim skinny.Update 2 months later: I wear these all day, everyday. They usually get washed once a week. Work and weekends I’ve been testing this pair out. Today I was sitting. While I was sitting I leaned over to grab something and the right leg ripped. As these pants wear, they get a little lighter in color. You can see the area where my thighs rub isn’t as dark as the area around it. The same thing happened with my cell phone and created a permanent outline.
