Product Information
Full details
The Carhartt Wip Double Knee Short is designed for individuals seeking durable, workwear-inspired apparel for everyday use. Its primary benefit is the enhanced durability offered by reinforced double-layer knees and triple-stitched seams. A potential caveat is the non-stretch nature of the fabric, which may require a break-in period for optimal comfort. This short features a relaxed fit, a zip fly with button closure, multiple tool pockets, and a classic five-pocket styling.

FAQs
What material are these shorts made of?
The main fabric is 100% heavyweight cotton denim. The pocket lining is a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton.
Are the double knees functional or just for looks?
The double-layer knees are a functional reinforcement designed to add significant durability and protection to this high-wear area.
How should I wash these shorts?
You should machine wash them according to the care label instructions, typically in cold water with similar colors. Avoid bleach.
Do these shorts have a lot of stretch?
No, these shorts are made from non-stretch structured fabric, prioritizing durability and a classic denim feel over elasticity.
What is the fit like?
They feature a relaxed fit with a regular waist, designed for everyday comfort and ease of movement.
Can I use these for heavy-duty work?
While built for durability with features like double-layer knees and triple-stitched seams, they are best suited for light to moderate work tasks. For extremely heavy-duty applications, consider Carhartt's dedicated heavy workwear lines.
What is the closure type?
The shorts feature a zip fly with a single button closure at the waist.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with heavyweight, non-stretch denim. Wear them regularly for a few days or wash them once to help break in the fabric. Avoid aggressive washing methods initially.
Color fading after washing.
Wash inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Line dry in the shade to minimize sun exposure, which can accelerate fading.
Pocket fit or access is awkward.
The pocket placement is designed for workwear utility. Ensure items are placed appropriately within the dedicated tool pockets for optimal access.
