FAQs
What material are the Carhartt WIP OG Double Knee Shorts made of?
While the exact composition can vary, these shorts are typically made from durable cotton or a cotton blend, featuring reinforced panels at the knees.
How do I know if the XS size will fit me?
It is recommended to check the Carhartt WIP size chart available on their official website or retailer sites. Measure your waist and inseam and compare them to the chart's specifications.
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
While made of cotton, they are designed with a robust fabric. They are suitable for warm weather but may feel heavier than lighter-weight shorts. Their breathability is adequate for most casual warm-weather activities.
Can the double knee panels be removed?
No, the double knee panels are a structural part of the shorts' design and are not removable.
What is the difference between OG Double Knee Shorts and regular Double Knee Shorts?
The 'OG' designation often implies a more authentic or original fit and construction, sometimes referencing vintage Carhartt styles, potentially with a slightly looser or more traditional cut compared to modern interpretations.
How should I care for the blue color to prevent fading?
Wash in cold water with similar colors, use a mild detergent, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Air drying or low heat tumble drying is best.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Consult the brand's specific size chart and compare with your own measurements. Consider reading customer reviews for insights on fit. If possible, try them on before purchasing or check the retailer's return policy.
Fabric feels stiff initially
This is common with durable cotton fabrics. Wash them once or twice according to care instructions to soften the material. The stiffness will decrease with wear and washing.
Color fades unevenly
Ensure you are washing in cold water and avoiding harsh detergents or excessive bleaching. Tumble drying on low heat or air drying can also help maintain color vibrancy.
