Dickies Resale Value Guides

22 guides to what used Dickies is worth — the price at each condition grade, which lines hold their value, and how to date or identify what you have. Dickies is workwear that became streetwear, and the two markets want different things. The 874 work pant is the item the label is known for on both sides.

Which Dickies pieces hold their value

  • The 874 work pant, whose permanent crease and twill weave have been unchanged for decades and which is searched by that number alone
  • The Eisenhower jacket, a cropped waist-length cut that has no real equivalent from the other workwear houses
  • Duck canvas chore coats in the older heavier weights, which soften with wear rather than thinning
  • Japanese-market and skate-shop exclusive releases, which were produced in small runs and are searched by drop

And what pulls the price down

  • The permanent crease pressing out, which on an 874 is the detail the trouser is bought for and cannot be reinstated at home
  • Twill that has gone shiny at the seat, which is friction polish on the weave and does not wash out
  • Bar tacks pulled loose at the pocket corners, which is where work trousers give way first
  • Modern mass-market pieces sold through discounters, which are inexpensive new and have a very shallow used market

Identifying and dating yours

These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:

  1. The fit code — 874, 873, 894 — is printed on the label and is the entire search term; put it in the title before anything else
  2. Photograph the crease line down the leg, since a crisp original crease is what separates a good pair from a tired one
  3. Check the bar tacks at each pocket corner and photograph any that have pulled

WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.
