FAQs
Are these pants fire-resistant?
No, these are standard work dungarees and do not carry an FR (Flame Resistant) rating.
Can I use any knee pads with these pants?
The pockets are designed to meet EN 14404-4:2024 standards. While they may physically hold other pads, they are engineered for the Carhartt 107552 for the best fit.
What is the material composition?
These pants are made from a blend of 59% Cotton, 39% Polyester, and 2% Elastane for the perfect balance of comfort and strength.
How should I measure for the correct size?
Measure your waist at the point where you typically wear your pants. Note that these are a relaxed fit, so they are designed to provide extra room.
Are the pants machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. Refer to the interior garment label for specific temperature settings.
Do these shrink significantly?
Because the fabric includes synthetic polyester and elastane, they are less prone to heavy shrinkage compared to 100% cotton workwear.
Troubleshooting
Knee pads keep shifting or falling out
Ensure you are using the Carhartt Interoperable Kneepad 107552, as other pads may not conform to the specific pocket dimensions and secure closure system.
Pants feel stiff after washing
Ensure you are not using excessive fabric softener, which can leave a residue on the ripstop fibers. Tumble dry on low heat to restore the 'Rugged Flex' feel.
Difficulty in getting the waist to fit comfortably
The Comfortflex waistband is designed to sit at the waist. Ensure you are using the center back belt loop properly to distribute tension across the hips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your dungarees, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Knee Pad Setup: Insert compatible knee pads into the bottom-loading cleanout openings. Ensure they are centered within the double-layer fabric for maximum protection.
- Compatibility: These pants are specifically designed for the Carhartt Interoperable Kneepad 107552 (Level 1 protection).
- Care Instructions: Machine wash with like colors. Avoid heavy bleaching as it may affect the integrity of the synthetic fibers in the ripstop blend.
- Alterations: The pants include a self-fabric kick panel at the hem, allowing for professional tailoring or adjustments to the leg length without losing the garment's aesthetic.
