Product Information
Full details
The Blaklader 1753 Lightweight Craftsmen Cargo Shorts are designed for male professionals in trades like carpentry, gardening, electrical work, and warehousing who need durable, comfortable, and functional workwear. Their primary benefit is the superior comfort derived from a thinner stretch material combined with strategically placed 4-way stretch panels, allowing for unrestricted movement. A potential caveat is that the lighter material might be less suitable for extremely demanding environments requiring heavy-duty abrasion resistance.

What are the washing instructions?
Machine wash at 40 °C. Avoid bleaching, tumble drying, ironing, and dry-cleaning to preserve the material and fit.
Can I attach a hammer holder?

What is the main material composition?

Troubleshooting
Pockets feel restrictive
Ensure items are placed correctly within the pockets. The mesh inner pocket in the leg pocket is designed for smaller items like phones.
Hammer holder loop feels loose
Ensure the hammer holder is designed to fit securely on the loop. For very heavy hammers, consider an alternative attachment method if stability is compromised.
Stitching appears to be unraveling
Inspect the area closely. If it's a minor loose thread, carefully trim it. For significant unraveling, contact customer support or the retailer.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Try gently wiggling the zipper pull. If persistent, apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) to the teeth.
