FAQs
Can I use these for outdoor work in the summer?
These are made from 12 oz duck fabric, which is quite heavy. They are durable, but may be too warm for extreme summer temperatures.
Do these pants include knee pads?
No, the pants feature reinforced knee pockets with cleanout openings, but knee pad inserts must be purchased separately.
How should I clean the heavy-duty fabric?
Wash with cold water and tumble dry on low to preserve the cotton and elastane blend.
Are they true to size?
These pants sit slightly below the waist and feature a slim, straight fit; consider your usual Carhartt size or consult the sizing guide for your specific waist measurement.
What is the primary material composition?
They are composed of 99% cotton and 1% elastane for the perfect mix of ruggedness and stretch.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel stiff when new
Heavyweight duck fabric is designed for long-term durability and will soften significantly after several washes and regular wear.
Knee pads keep shifting
Ensure you are using the correct size knee pad insert for your specific pant waist size to keep them securely positioned within the reinforced knee pockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Carhartt work pants, machine wash them in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using bleach, as it can compromise the integrity of the cotton fibers. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to minimize wrinkling. For knee pad compatibility, the cleanout openings are designed to work with standard industry-sized knee pad inserts. Ensure that any inserted pads are removed before laundering to prevent shifting or damage to the fabric lining.
