Dickies Men’s Original Work Pants are super strong and functional. The cotton twill blend wears in comfortably and feels better with time. Design concerned with sustainability, modifications to heritage and respect for the past invites a refreshing yet familiar style line that turns the timeless 874 Work Pants into the “3M Edos”. Named after the Edo period (1603–1868) of feudal Japan when the Katana was often used, the style lines mimic the Hamon effect which happens during the Japanese sword smithing process.
