Hand-Crafted Surfing
Danny Hess makes his surfboards the old fashioned way: by hand, one-at-a-time, with wood. It’s his passion.
And a lot of the surfers who borrow one for a test ride end up buying one. That helps Danny keep his passion alive.
He tells his story himself much better than I ever could. In this Dockers® video, you’ll learn how Danny took a chance...and now earns his living…doing something he loves.

Khaki (Wearer) With Attitude
Dear Dockers,Thank you for reinvigorating my belief in khakis (or is it chinos?). I’ve been on the prowl for non-jean pants recently, and the pair of “Slim Tapered Khaki – Pleated in Wood Chip” I just purchased are fitting the bill quite nicely. The taper is a playful throwback to my 90’s upbringing, the pleats a nice “(expletive deleted) you” to all my flat front pants. And in general, the finishes (lining, zipper, etc.) are of a quality I didn’t necessarily expect of Dockers, no offense.

Them's the Breaks: Pant Length
Okay guys, how long – as in length – should you wear your pants? It’s a puzzler for many. But you’ve come to the right place.When it comes to pant length, I truly believe the same two rules apply whether we’re talking about jeans, khakis or smarter dress trousers:Rule #1: Pants should never be worn too longRule #2: Pant should never be worn too short.It’s all about the break.
