FAQs
What does 'Double Front' mean?
The 'Double Front' refers to an extra layer of fabric over the front of the legs, providing enhanced durability and abrasion resistance. It also incorporates pockets specifically designed to hold kneepads.
How should I choose my size?
These dungarees have a relaxed fit. It is recommended to consult the Carhartt sizing chart for accurate measurements. The 'W42' indicates a waist size of 42 inches.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
The heavyweight 12 oz cotton duck fabric can be warm in very hot conditions. While durable, they are best suited for moderate to cooler temperatures or for tasks where protection is prioritized over breathability.
How do I clean the kneepad pockets?
The kneepad pockets have bottom cleanout openings, allowing you to easily remove dirt and debris. You can wipe them out with a damp cloth or brush.
Will these shrink significantly?
A slight amount of shrinkage may occur, particularly with the first wash if hot water is used. It's advisable to wash in cold water and tumble dry on medium to minimize shrinkage.
What material are these dungarees made from?
They are made from 100% Cotton, specifically Carhartt's heavyweight 12 oz/yd² (407 gsm) cotton duck fabric.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel stiff or uncomfortable.
This is common with new, heavyweight cotton duck. Wear them frequently during physical activity to naturally break them in. Washing them with a fabric softener can also help, though use sparingly to maintain fabric strength.
Kneepads don't stay in place.
Ensure you are using Carhartt-compatible kneepads designed for these specific pockets. Check that the kneepads are fully inserted and secured within the pocket compartment.
Seams feel tight after washing.
Always follow the recommended care instructions, especially washing in cold water. If minor stiffness persists, a brief period of wear should resolve it.
