Key Takeaways
- Wide leg under sticker: The Dickies high rise wide leg pant sits in the top 40 of its bestseller category at the deepest cut I have tracked.
- Boys 873 school pant: The boys 873 slim fit is at its lowest price of the year, useful if you buy uniforms a year ahead.
- Eisenhower jacket cut deep: The unlined Eisenhower jacket almost never goes on sale this hard.
- Women’s work pants halved: The Duratech Renegade and Flex DuraTech are at honest half-off pricing.
- Updated April 30, 2026: Prices verified the morning of publication.
April 30, the last day before May rolls in, and this week’s Berry Basket leans hard on one brand. Dickies is running spring markdowns across nearly every clothing category they make. Women’s wide leg trousers, boys’ school uniform staples, men’s work jeans, the unlined Eisenhower jacket. If you have been waiting for a real sale on the brand, this is the week.
Sorting through the deals, two patterns showed up. The Basic High Rise Wide Leg has parked itself in the top 40 of its bestseller category at well under sticker, and the boys’ 873 slim fit (the de facto school uniform pant for a lot of districts) is at the lowest price I have tracked this year. The women’s Duratech Renegade and Flex DuraTech work pants are at honest half-off too. Dickies does not drop this far often, so the timing matters.
I pulled two wide leg cuts, four boys’ pieces, two women’s work pants, and a couple for the guys including the Eisenhower jacket. Sizes are uneven across listings, so double check the one you need before clicking through.
What are the best Dickies wide leg pants on sale this week?
The wide leg pants are the headline of this week’s clothing roundup. Both listings are the same Basic High Rise Wide Leg cut at slightly different price points, which usually means different colors or wash variants. They sit in the top 40 of their bestseller category, so the demand is real.
Dickies High Rise Wide Leg Pant
This is the deepest cut on the wide leg I have seen, and it is the listing currently ranked at #37 in its category. The high rise sits at the natural waist. The leg drops wide and clean, and the cotton twill is sturdy without feeling stiff. If your size is still showing, this is the one I would pull the trigger on first.
- High rise natural waist fit
- Wide leg cotton twill cut
- Bestseller rank #37 in category
Dickies Basic Wide Leg Pant
Same Basic High Rise Wide Leg cut at #31 in its bestseller category, slightly different listing, also priced well below sticker. The fit runs long, so anyone under 5’5″ will probably want to plan on a hem. Worth a look if the first listing is sold out in your size or color.
- High rise basic wide leg
- Bestseller rank #31
- Runs long in the inseam
Which Dickies boys school pants are worth buying for next year?
The boys’ line is where the smart back to school move lives this week. The 873 slim fit and the Flex Cargo are uniform compliant in most districts, and the price drops are steep enough that buying a size up makes sense. The polo shirt fills out the uniform if your school requires one.
Dickies Boys 873 Slim Fit Pant
The 873 is the workhorse of the Dickies boys’ line. Slim through the leg without being skinny, with a flat front and a finished hem, and it survives the washing machine for years. At this price you can grab the size your kid wears now and the next size up and still spend less than one pair would normally cost.
- Classic 873 slim fit
- Flat front school uniform staple
- Finished hem
Dickies Boys Cargo Skinny Pant
If your school dress code allows cargo pockets, this skinny fit cargo in grey is a solid pick. The cut is slimmer than the 873, so kids who fill out pants quickly might size up. The grey reads more uniform appropriate than the brighter colors Dickies sometimes runs.
- Cargo side pockets
- Skinny fit cut
- Grey neutral color
Dickies Boys Flex Cargo Pant
This is the newer Flex Cargo Slim Straight, with a stretch panel that makes a real difference if your kid plays at recess. Olive green is in dress code territory at most schools that allow neutrals beyond khaki and navy. Listed at size 12, so check the size chart against actual measurements rather than age.
- Flex stretch fabric
- Slim straight cargo cut
- Olive green
Dickies Big Boys Polo Shirt
Pique polo in hunter green, size small (8). The Dickies polos hold their collar better than the cheaper school store options I have tried, and the pique knit does not pill the way jersey does. At this price it is worth grabbing two if green is the right color for your school.
- Pique knit construction
- Hunter green
- Holds collar shape
Are Dickies women’s work pants worth grabbing right now?
The women’s work pant lineup from Dickies has gotten a lot better in the last few years. Both pants in this section have stretch built into the fabric, reinforced knees, and pockets that fit a phone without flopping. Half off is the sweet spot where they become a clear yes.
Dickies Women's Flex DuraTech Pant
The Flex DuraTech Straight Fit is the women’s version of a four-pocket work pant that does not feel like a costume. Straight leg with a flat front and real pockets. Listed in black, size 4 regular. Wears well under a tool belt or just on a long day on your feet.
- Flex DuraTech stretch fabric
- Straight fit
- Reinforced knees
Dickies Women's Duratech Renegade Pant
The Duratech Renegade is sitting at #15 in its bestseller category, which tells you most of what you need to know. It is the more cargo-leaning of the two women’s pants, with utility pockets and a slightly more relaxed fit. Gray, size 8 regular for this listing.
- Duratech construction
- Cargo leaning utility pockets
- Bestseller rank #15
Best Dickies men’s pants and the Eisenhower jacket
Two picks for the men’s side that I would grab before the sale ends. The Flex Slim Cargo is a comfortable update to the classic work pant, and the Eisenhower jacket is the rare piece of Dickies outerwear that is not workwear-coded.
Dickies Men's Flex Slim Cargo Pant
This Flex Slim Cargo has the stretch the older Dickies cargos did not, which matters if you are in and out of a vehicle all day. Moss green, 32W x 32L on this listing. The slim straight cut reads more office casual than jobsite, which is a useful thing in a Dickies pant.
- Flex stretch twill
- Slim straight leg
- Utility cargo pockets
Dickies Eisenhower Jacket
The unlined Eisenhower is the one I keep coming back to. It is a short, structured jacket cut at the waist with a banded hem, and the unlined version is right for spring weather. Black, XL regular. This jacket almost never gets cut this deep, so if it fits your wardrobe at all, this is the time.
- Unlined cotton twill
- Banded waist hem
- Short structured cut
Frequently asked questions
Do Dickies wide leg pants run true to size?
The Basic High Rise Wide Leg fits true at the waist but runs long in the inseam. If you are under 5’5″ plan on hemming or cuffing, especially in the longer waist sizes. Sizing up at the waist is rarely needed since the rise is generous.
Are Dickies boys school pants uniform compliant?
The 873 slim fit and the Flex Cargo Slim Straight in neutral colors meet most school dress codes. Always confirm with your school’s specific policy, since some districts ban cargo pockets or require certain colors. Khaki, navy, black, and olive are usually safe bets.
Is the Dickies Eisenhower jacket waterproof?
No. The unlined Eisenhower is a cotton twill jacket without a waterproof membrane, so it sheds light drizzle but soaks in real rain. For waterproof outerwear, look at the Dickies water repellent hoodie or a dedicated rain shell.
How long do Dickies work pants typically last?
Most Dickies pants in the 873 and DuraTech lines hold up to two or three years of regular wear, often longer if they are not being put through job site abuse. The newer Flex fabrics trade a bit of longevity for stretch and comfort, so they wear softer but a little faster.
How long will these prices last?
Several listings are tagged as Big Spring Deals, which usually run a few days to a week. Sizes sell out before the price changes, especially on the wide leg pants. If your size is in stock right now, treat it as the window.
Discounts on Dickies clothing this week ran from about 50% off on the men’s stretch cargo and women’s work pants up to nearly 90% off on the basic wide leg, which is unusual depth for the brand outside of major sale events. The boys’ line clustered in the 50% to 80% range, with the polo shirt and the 873 leading the cuts. The women’s Duratech and the Eisenhower jacket landed in the more reasonable half-off territory, which feels like an honest sale rather than an inflated original price.
If I had to pick one, I would grab the boys’ 873 slim fit. It is the closest thing Dickies makes to a forever uniform pant and at this price you can buy two sizes ahead and still come out fine. The Eisenhower jacket is the second thing I would consider since it almost never sees this kind of cut. The wide leg pant is fun and the price is hard to argue with, but the cut runs long, so know your inseam before you click. The boys’ polo is fine, nothing to write home about, but it is a polo for the price of a coffee.
May usually goes quieter on Dickies, so if you see your size in stock now, I would grab it. Memorial Day weekend tends to favor outdoor and grilling discounts, with clothing sitting that one out most years. Watch for back to school campaigns starting late June for the next big run on uniform pants. If you missed last week’s Dockers slim fit picks, those are still live at the deals hub.
