FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the double-layered knees?

The double-layered knees provide significantly enhanced durability and protection in an area that experiences high wear and tear, especially during activities that involve kneeling.

What type of fit do these shorts have?

The shorts feature a loose, straight fit, designed for comfort and ease of movement rather than a close-fitting silhouette.

What materials are used in the construction of these shorts?

They are made from a midweight blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton.

Are there special pockets for tools?

Yes, the shorts include practical tool pockets designed to hold various items, along with a dedicated hammer loop.

How should I wash and care for the shorts?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, tumble dry medium, and iron warm if necessary. Avoid dry cleaning.

What does the 'WIP' in Carhartt WIP stand for?

WIP stands for 'Work In Progress,' which is Carhartt's contemporary sub-brand that reinterprets Carhartt's heritage in workwear for a new audience.

Can these shorts be worn for casual everyday use, or only for work?

While inspired by workwear and built for durability, their comfortable fit and classic style make them suitable for a range of casual everyday activities as well.

Troubleshooting

Seam splitting after heavy use

While designed for durability, extreme stress can cause seams to split. Reinforce stitching with a heavy-duty thread if minor splitting occurs. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.

Color fading

Follow care instructions carefully: wash in cold water with like colors and avoid harsh detergents or excessive bleach. Tumble drying on medium heat can also contribute to fading over time; consider air drying to preserve color.

Zipper malfunction

Ensure the fly area is free of fabric obstructions. If the zipper is stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant (from a pencil tip) or wax to the teeth. If the zipper is damaged, it may require professional repair.
