Dickies for Blue Lug

bluelug-dickies-PINP.JPG

Japanese bicycle shop Blue Lug worked with American workwear staple Dickies on a pair of workwear pants specifically for urban commuting and cycling. Hard to tell from the translation, but it seems that Dickies has a Japanese campaign called “Ride a Bike for Dickies”. I do remember seeing something about it when I was in Tokyo for the CMWCs; but I don’t recall seeing these pants. Special features include a slimmer cut, adjusted fit in the crotch area and reinforcement in the belt loops.

Retail is set at 9,800 yen, or +/- $100 USD

More photos at Blue Lug’s website; colors available are blue, gray, khacki and black.

    What kind of stem is that? Its sexy

  • http://prollyisnotprobably.com prolly

    Pretty sure it’s a custom stem for that bike. The bike’s got a lotta nice details.

    As for the pricing on these, I have no idea why they’re so much. But “other” companies are using technical fabrics, which drive the cost up and the performance of the piece up as well. I.e. a cotton hoodie is going to be less than a schoeller / gore tex.

    It’s a pretty simple formula.

    But Dickies, no idea.

    whatever with the dickies. What’s up with that bike? Where’s the seat clamp? Is it me or is there a restriction about halfway down the down tube? Agreed, nice stem!

    All I got, the rest of the photos came out shitty and I never posted them

  • http://prollyisnotprobably.com prolly

    The seatpost is a quill-clamp. It expands like a stem into the seat tube flare. The stem is a fast-back clamp too.

  • chris

    Clean build with those kinds of details.

    I seem to think that regular Dickies work just fine. And you can usually find them used for like $10.00.

    You guys are missing the point.
    It’s 100 dollars for Dickies in Japan.
    The Japanese buy plane tickets to other continents just to go clothes shopping.

  • Peter Mac

    Seriously $100 for dickies pants, I always thought Dickies was meant to be value for money, even in Japan thats expensive regadless of them going to over continents to there shopping.
