I don't know if it's just me, but it seems as if Dickies has lost their reputation. The last couple pairs of work cargo shorts but I have bought seem to wear out very quick. When I contacted dickies and told them my problem they informed me they will replace them under warranty but I have to pay shipping. My issue is, when I wear regular street clothes to work I never have issues like the dickies. Because of the dickies reputation, I just expect these to last a lot longer than they have. I don't do anything strenuous at work and can't understand why they wear out  the way they do.
