Product Information
Full details
The Dickies Eisenhower Extreme Trousers are designed for male professionals seeking durable and comfortable workwear. Their key benefit lies in enhanced durability and extensive pocket utility, making them ideal for demanding jobs. A potential caveat is the standard fit might not suit all body types without adjustments. These trousers are an upgraded version of a classic, featuring a robust poly-cotton canvas, strategic Cordura® reinforcement in high-wear areas like knee pads and hems, and a comprehensive pocket system for tool storage. A YKK zip and elasticated waistband ensure a secure and comfortable fit, while the water-resistant fabric offers protection against light moisture.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What are the main advantages of the Eisenhower Extreme Trousers over the classic version?
The 'Extreme' version features enhanced durability with Cordura® reinforcements in high-wear areas like knee pad pockets and hem guards, alongside an updated pocket configuration for improved utility.
Are knee pads included with the trousers?
No, knee pads are sold separately. The trousers feature reinforced pockets designed to accommodate standard work knee pads.
What is the fabric weight?
The fabric is a 300gsm (grams per square meter) blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton.
Can these trousers be worn in hot weather?
The 300gsm fabric provides durability but may feel warm in very high temperatures. For extreme heat, lighter-weight options might be more comfortable, but these offer superior toughness.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Dickies and measure your waist accurately. The elasticated waistband offers some adjustability within the specified waist size.
Are these trousers waterproof?
The fabric is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light moisture and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon for protection in heavy or prolonged rain.
Can I remove the holster pockets?
The holster pockets are typically integrated into the design and are not removable.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or loose at the waist.
The elasticated waistband provides some flexibility. If still uncomfortable, consider wearing a belt or checking if a different size in the range might offer a better fit.
Water resistance seems reduced after washing.
Follow the care instructions carefully, avoiding harsh detergents and high heat. Consider reapplying a fabric waterproofing spray suitable for workwear.
Cordura® reinforcements showing wear.
While highly durable, extreme abrasion can still cause wear. Ensure knee pads are used consistently for kneeling tasks to protect the knee area. Check for loose threads and trim them carefully.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the durability and water-resistant properties of the Dickies Eisenhower Extreme Trousers:
- Washing: Machine wash at a moderate temperature (e.g., 40°C or 104°F). Wash with similar colors.
- Detergents: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric and water-resistant treatment.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric and reinforcements.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. Avoid ironing directly over printed logos or reinforced areas.
- Water Resistance: For optimal water repellency, consider reapplying a fabric waterproofing treatment periodically, especially after numerous washes.
