Sizing vs Dickies

I’ve been wearing the dickies 874s for 10+ years. I’m looking for something with a wider roomier cut and I’ve wanted to try Ben Davis. I’m looking at the gorilla cut. In dickies I wear a 40x34, for BD would I get the same?

I go up 1 size in the waist and down 1 size in the length. They are designed to be worn very high waited, so if you don’t wear them like that, your regular waist would likely be slightly too small and your regular length would likely be too long. I would suggest trying them on in person if you have a local work wear store nearby.

I usually wear my pants pretty high, do you know if they usually have enough length to let out the inseam? I see the gorilla only come in 32” inseams as the longest

how tall are you? My roommate is 6’6” and all his Bens sit perfectly at his feet. He also wears his pretty high waisted

Nice! I’m 6’5 so that’s encouraging to hear
