The Triple Needle Work Pants: A New Classic
In the ever-evolving world of fashion, certain pieces stand the test of time. Dickies, a brand synonymous with quality workwear since the 1920s, epitomizes this notion. Their legendary “874” work pants have seen decades of popularity, a testament to their durability, style, and timeless appeal. Now, in collaboration with HIGH! STANDARD, a brand devoted to American basics, they've launched a special edition that elevates the iconic “874” into a new realm: the Triple Needle Work Pants.
A Legacy of Quality
Dickies began its journey producing workwear in the 1920s, establishing a strong foundation linked with various cultural movements. They produced over 9 million garments during World War II, showcasing their commitment to quality and functionality. The “874” pants have been a staple since their release in 1967, and their enduring popularity worldwide highlights the brand's dedication to quality craftsmanship.
The catchphrase “FIT YOU, FIT YOUR JOB,” introduced in a 1954 ad campaign, continues to resonate with both the brand and its products. The latest collaboration with HIGH! STANDARD strengthens this legacy by introducing the Triple Needle Work Pants, which reflect the trust between the brands and their shared commitment to quality.
Features of the New Design
The Triple Needle Work Pants, priced at ¥24,200 and available in sizes S to XL, use a triple needle construction that enhances durability, resulting in a solid and robust finish. This model takes the original “874” silhouette and tweaks it slightly: it features a wider fit through the thighs while tapering slightly towards the cuffs, creating a balanced and versatile look.
Additionally, these pants feature a built-in elastic waistband, promoting ease of wear while ensuring a comfortable fit around the waist. Every detail has been meticulously designed, making them the ideal work pants for a modern lifestyle.
The standout aspect of these pants is their triple-stitching, a rarity in the “874” style, which typically utilizes a single lock stitch finish. This unique feature is available in three colorways: the BLACK and NAVY pairs use matching thread to create a subtle appearance, while the CAMEL option employs contrasting stitches for added visual interest.
Furthermore, the front of the pants utilizes a durable snap button hidden from view to maintain the classic look of the original “874.” A coin pocket makes its appearance on the right front, reminiscing classic workwear aesthetics and providing added functionality.
More than Just Workwear
The modifications extend beyond functionality; they enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. The interior of the waist features a clean design with no visible positioning of the “874” label, providing a seamless and refined appearance.
Every time one lays eyes on the iconic Dickies tag, it evokes a sense of nostalgia—a piece that has transitioned from an aspirational item to an everyday essential. Conclusively, this collaboration between HIGH! STANDARD and Dickies is not just an item of clothing; it’s a narrative woven through threads, translating to a perfect blend of practicality, style, and legacy.
Inside the waistband, you’ll also find HIGH! STANDARD's original tag, an affirmation of this special collaboration. With an ideal balance of silhouette, detail, and real-world utility, the Triple Needle Work Pants is destined to become a beloved staple.
Where to Purchase
You can find the Triple Needle Work Pants at SEILIN ONLINE SHOP with a special feature expected to launch on May 10. Additionally, they are available at select locations, including BLUE BLUE KOKURA, BLUE BLUE NAGOYA, and BLUE BLUE OSAKA.
