FAQs
What is the primary material of these shorts?
The main fabric is 100% Cotton denim. The pocket lining is a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton.
Are these shorts suitable for hot weather?
While they are made of denim, the relaxed fit does offer some breathability. However, the heavyweight nature of the fabric means they might be warmer than lighter shorts in extreme heat.
How should I wash these shorts?
Machine wash according to the care label. It's best to wash them with like colors, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry.
What does 'Double Knee' mean in the product title?
It refers to an extra layer of durable fabric added to the knee area, significantly increasing the shorts' resistance to wear and tear, especially beneficial for activities involving kneeling.
Do these shorts have a lot of stretch?
No, the product description specifies 'Non-stretch structured fabric,' meaning they offer durability and shape retention rather than elasticity.
What kind of fit do these shorts have?
They feature a relaxed fit with a regular waist, designed for everyday comfort and ease of movement.
Can I carry tools in the pockets?
Yes, the shorts include tool pockets and a hammer loop, designed for carrying essential work items.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too stiff upon arrival.
The heavyweight, non-stretch denim requires a break-in period. Wear them for an extended period, and consider washing them once or twice to soften the fabric. Avoid excessive heat when drying.
Sizing feels incorrect.
Consult the size chart provided by Carhartt Wip. Due to the relaxed fit and non-stretch material, some users may find they prefer to size down. Consider trying a different size if the initial fit is not ideal.
Pocket corners fraying after significant use.
This is a sign of heavy wear. While the construction is durable, extreme use can eventually cause wear. Ensure tools are placed carefully and consider reinforcing pocket edges if needed.
