How to Spot Fake Dickies: 5 Simple Checks for Authentic Workwear

Dickies is one of the most recognisable workwear brands, known for durable trousers, shorts, jackets and practical everyday clothing. Because the brand is popular, checking authenticity and quality is useful when buying pre-loved workwear.

This guide gives practical checks for Dickies workwear, including the logo, labels, hardware, stitching, fabric and internal care information.

1. Check the Main Logo and Label

The logo is often the first detail to check. Whether it is the classic horseshoe patch or a simple Dickies wordmark, it should look clean, sharp and properly attached.

• Clean stitching: the patch should be neatly sewn on.
• No spelling errors: check the brand text carefully.
• Correct shape: compare the logo with known genuine Dickies labels where possible.

2. Check the Zips, Buttons and Hardware

Authentic-looking workwear should have hardware that feels strong enough for practical use. Zips, buttons, rivets and fastenings should not feel weak, flimsy or poorly finished.

3. Inspect Fabric Quality and Stitching

Dickies workwear is usually built for regular wear. Fabric should feel appropriate for the garment type, and seams should be straight, secure and practical.

For current practical pieces, browse our workwear trousers collection, workwear shorts collection and workwear tops and overalls collection.

4. Read the Internal Care and Size Labels

Care labels should be readable, with clear washing information, fabric composition and sizing. Blurry printing, spelling mistakes or odd generic labels can be warning signs.

5. Judge the Whole Garment, Not One Detail

No single detail proves authenticity by itself. A better approach is to check the logo, label, hardware, fabric, stitching, fit and overall construction together.
