American citizen living in Guatemala City, Guatemala, Central America:

Background:
Living in a third world country where poverty stunts people's growth, I find myself with in Narnian quest to find pants that actually fit my length, 34.  Hence, I reverted back to my old SKA days when I wore Dickies as my primary choice of trouser.

Review:
I can only assume that in an effort to continue offering pants at an cost effective price point Dickies has now taken into effect the process of offering less material than before. On one hand, a good point since they no longer carry the huge leg openings as before but now come in a very nice tapered leg.  And on the other, the waist sizes are wayyyyyy off, three sizes off on some which is a real bother if you have to have them shipped to another country.

Final thoughts:
Dickies pants still offer that same quality that they have come to be known for.  However, if you're going to buy them, A: try them on first or B: buy them at least three sizes bigger so alternations can be made if need be.

Stars:
Three; for the giant hassle of having to buy large and altering later, but Four for that new wonderful tapered leg.
