No, he means how wide the leg opening is at the ankle. These have a pretty wide ankle (hem) and so lack any real taper ergo they will be a bit baggy.

Personally, I kind of like them, I hope the fabric is good, could see rocking them with chucks and a wife beater for a little Cali gangster steez.

I grew up in Southern California in the '90s and saw too many gangsters wearing size 40 Dickies.

Therefore, I associate Dickies with gangsters, cholos or lower-class laborers. There is no reason to post this in this forum.

So I suppose work wear, biker wear (flat head, RW, bomber, moto, denim jacket), western wear, pimptastic wear, and really everything fun is out as well. I think this might be a better forum for you:

I got my set...the fabric feels AMAZING. Straight butter. It may look like run-of-the-mill Dickies, but geez, they did a great job with the material. I don't want to say one way or the other of it is worth it at the retail price point, but it is definitely something that should be on the radar, IMO. Looking forward to the colder months so I can wear them (together, when I visit East LA, of course. Vatos Locos forever). There are enough pics floating around of the whole outfit, so I decided to snap some of the vintage-looking tags that were attached as well as some detail shots (using a point-and-shoot, bear with me).

The shirt:

Let me know if you guys want any specific shots.
