Dickies Relaxed Fit Carpenter Jeans review

Dickies' Relaxed Fit Carpenter Jeans are the budget pick for men who want room to move and plain cotton denim. Dickies describes the fit as having room in the seat and thighs, with a straight leg designed to fit over boots and a rise that sits slightly below the waist. The fabric is 11.75 oz fine weave denim in 100% cotton, and the carpenter details include deep back pockets and a side stash pocket for nails and small gadgets. Seven keystone belt loops and triple-stitched seams add strength, and the zipper is brass. Waist sizes run from 30 to 50 with inseams of 30, 32, 34 and 36. The price is $34.99, and dickies.com ships free on U.S. orders of $99 or more. On the product page, 1,514 reviews average 4.0 out of 5. Dickies also sells a Relaxed Fit Heavyweight Carpenter Jean in 13.5 to 14 oz denim for the same $34.99, but only up to a 44 waist.
