Unlined Eisenhower Jacket

And last but not least, I tried out the Dickies Unlined Eisenhower Jacket. For skating in cooler weather, or just looking cool, the Eisenhower Jacket is a good choice:
Made without a lining, the Eisenhower Jacket is light and yet strong. Plus the jacket features a heavy duty zipper, so you don’t need to worry about busting it while wrecking. There is also a small long pocket on the left sleeve for pens – or, again, your skate tool, if you have one that folds up. If you use a tool like The Unit, or some other non-folding tool, then that won’t work. But seriously, get a Project tool anyway – they’re sexy. Just like this Jacket.

The only drawback that I could find to any of these clothes was that they were made in Mexico. Not that that means they are poorly made, but it's always cool to see stuff that's Made in the USA. But then, the Mexican families need to eat too, so it all works out in the end.

Dickies Guarantee

So there’s a great sampling of Dickie’s skateboarding-friendly gear. All of the clothing that Dickies makes is strong, durable, and looks good. They are also guaranteed – Dickies will replace the clothes or refund your money if you aren’t happy for any reason! Any at all. Now that’s hard to beat. This means that if you buy the Dickies Double Knee Work Pants, go skating and the crotch rips out, Dickies will replace them or give you your money back. That’s one huge reason that Dickies is so popular, besides the clothes being cool and comfortable.

Check out Dickies, and see what you think. Dickies has a section on their website where you can see clothes that they feel are good for skateboarding – take a look, and then click below to compare prices on the web, and get some Dickies gear and try it out for yourself!
