About the original
The Dickies Relaxed Fit Double Knee Carpenter Denim Jean (style 20694) is a heavyweight cotton denim work pant with a second layer of fabric stitched over each knee, a hammer loop, and a side utility pocket. Dickies was founded in 1922 in Fort Worth, Texas, and spent a century building double-knee and duck workwear sold through hardware and farm-supply stores, where the reinforced knee earned its reputation with carpenters and mechanics. The FW23 Supreme version reworks the pattern into a baggy fit with a zip fly, a welt utility pocket, a woven logo label at the knee, and a leather logo patch on the back pocket; the stock 20694 stays a relaxed straight leg. Supreme priced the collab at $168; the standard Dickies double-knee jean sells at big-box retailers for under $30.
About Dickies
Dickies is an American workwear brand founded in 1922 by C. N. Williamson and E. E. "Colonel" Dickie in Fort Worth, Texas, when the cousins purchased an existing bib-overall company and renamed it Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing. The 874 work pant, introduced in 1967, became the brand's defining product and a staple of skate, hip-hop, and Chicano subcultures from the 1990s onward. VF Corporation acquired Williamson-Dickie in 2017 for $820 million, and Bluestar Alliance bought the brand from VF in 2025 for roughly $600 million. Supreme has collaborated with Dickies on 874 pants, work jackets, and coveralls.
