Dickies 997 Loose Straight Fit Work Pant in Neutral, Men's at Urban Outfitters

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Dickies 997 Loose Straight Fit Work Pant delivers utilitarian grit reimagined for the modern downtown set. Rendered here in a neutral hue, these pants bring that unmistakable sturdy Dickies texture—structured but never stiff, with a lived-in, almost industrial sensibility that’s pure workwear DNA. The cotton blend has substance yet gives enough for movement, so every crease and drape feels authentic, not forced. They signal laid-back confidence, anchored by a cut that’s as relaxed as it is timeless—straight through the leg with a looser profile that stacks just right at the street.

The 997 is all about generous fit without compromise. The mid-rise waist sits easy without cinching, and that roomy straight leg gives the body space to move—whether skating, stomping around the city, or just keeping things casual. Deep pockets mean phone, cards, and keys disappear seamlessly, while the neutral shade is a blank slate for repeat wears and endless styling—layer with a boxy tee or a slouchy knit, throw on a blazer or bomber, and it still works. There’s a utility to the structure, but it adapts; the weight holds up, and the fit loosens into your routine, never feeling like a uniform, always reading considered.

Dickies has always been the uniform of subcultures who wear their clothes hard—skaters, artists, anyone with an eye for authentic cool. The 997 channels that heritage, but the loose straight cut lands squarely in today’s street-style wheelhouse, stacking up against baggy denim and tailored track pants. Worn cuffed, puddled, or with a flash of sneaker, this pant moves Dickies from worksite staple to all-day essential, cementing its crossover status among the style crowd.
