    What reviewers say

    Dickies Big & Tall Flex Regular Fit Straight Leg Work Pants

    Owners of the Dickies 874 Flex praise the comfortable stretch and long-lasting construction, often noting they hold up well to daily work wear. Some mention that the big & tall sizing runs large and that the fabric feels stiffer than expected at first.

    Pros
    • Comfortable stretch without losing shape
    • Durable for heavy-duty use
    • Good value for the price
    Cons
    • Sizing runs large in big & tall
    • Stiff out of the package

    Harbor Bay by DXL Big and Tall Men's Banded-Hem Polo Shirt

    Reviewers say the polo fits well and the banded hem stays in place, and the fabric looks good straight from the dryer. The main complaints are a narrow color range and a white version that shows through.

    Pros
    • Banded hem fit
    • Fabric looks nice out of the dryer
    • Overall fit
    Cons
    • Wants more colors
    • White is too see-through
    Reviews

    Questions and answers

    Which is better for work?
    The Dickies pants. Twill work pants handle abrasion and pockets better than a knit polo. The polo is a shirt, not a substitute for pants.
    Which lasts longer?
    The Dickies twill should outlast the polo's knit, though the flex blend wears faster than rigid 100% cotton 874 twill. The polo's main wear points are the collar and banded hem.
    Is the polo good for travel?
    Yes. It is wrinkle-resistant and the banded hem keeps it in place. Skip the white if see-through fabric bothers you.
    Do the pants come in my inseam?
    The listing shows 30, 32 and 34 inch inseams in big & tall sizes. Check the size chart for waist sizing before ordering.
    Should I buy both?
    They serve different purposes, so buying both is reasonable if you need work pants and a polo. Compare each item's store prices before buying.
    Which is worth the extra money?
    No prices were provided, so compare current store prices on each product page. The Dickies is the better value if you need durable pants; the polo if you need a travel-friendly shirt.
