Buyer's guide

Know what you're buying

Everything worth knowing about this model — how to date it, how it fits, and what makes one piece worth more than another.

Ask us about a piece

Work shorts are the plainer build: duck canvas, deep pockets, reinforced seams. Carpenter shorts add the hammer loop and ruler pocket. Both are cut long and roomy, which is exactly why they work now — the proportions match current taste without alteration.

Some of the best pairs started as full-length carpenter or double knee pants and were cut down. A raw hem frays about a centimetre then holds; a clean hem is double-stitched. Neither affects durability — the canvas is the same weight either way.

Khaki and faded khaki are the most versatile and most common. Carhartt brown, moss green and charcoal are steadier sellers. Paint-splattered pairs and heavily distressed examples carry a premium because the wear cannot be faked.

Vintage waist measurements often come in under the tagged size after decades of washing. Go by the flat waist measurement rather than the label — we send exact figures for any pair on request.
