    Hey thanks,

    First heard of them in a hip-hop song so i dont know????I have seen some skaters on tv wearing them though so your probably right. Do you know the name of the shop by any chance????

    i think the shop is Tribe. Urban used to stock them, they have closed and as far as i know they moved all thier stock into a shop in the George's St. arcade.
    But if you can, get them from the US, you;ll save a fortune. Here they are fashion, over there they are workwear and are rally cheap in the likes of Wal-Mart.

    Since Urban closed I'm not aware of anyone else selling the crossover end of the Dickies range in Dublin. Sabotage used to stock it but they stopped selling it a while back. O'Connors sell Dickies but I'm not sure that they sell the style that you are looking for. TK Maxx ocassionaly has bits and pieces but because of the way that they purchase, you can't be guranteed to find the right styles and sizes.

    The style that you see skaters wearing and in music videos, etc, is the Original 874 Work Pant. They are quite slim fiiting and you would need to get it in one size larger than your normal size if you want a slight sag. The other popular style is the Double Knee Work Pant. This a much baggier fit with a reinforced knee and a cellphone pocket. You won't need to by it any bigger than your normal size since it is loose fitting. The 13" Work Shorts is the cut down version of the 874. Those are the three workwear styles that have crossed over into the fashion market.
