Reworked Vintage Carhartt Canvas Work Shorts — Slate Blue

Canvas Work Shorts in Slate Blue

Reworked Carhartt canvas work shorts in slate blue, remade by hand in our studio from an authentic vintage Carhartt piece. Source fabric: slightly worn. Remade by hand from heavyweight original Carhartt duck with natural fade and honest wear; original labels kept. One of one — once it sells it is not restocked. Message us for flat measurements and additional photos of this piece before you order.

The slate blue colourway

Blue-leaning colourways like this appeared in limited production and rarely surface in vintage stock. They photograph differently to how they read in person — usually deeper.

Era and identification

Plain canvas work shorts are the simplest build in the range: deep pockets, reinforced seams, knee-length cut. The most wearable entry point into vintage Carhartt bottoms.

Condition — slightly worn

Graded slightly worn: visible use with even fade across the piece, nothing that affects how it wears. This is the sweet spot for most buyers — the fabric has already softened and the colour has settled, but it hasn't been worked to the point of repair. Priced at $41 against an original retail of $69 — 41% below new, for fabric weight and construction current production no longer matches.

How it fits and how to wear it

Cut long and roomy through the leg, sitting at or below the knee on most wearers. Waist measurements often come in under the tagged size after decades of washing. Summer wear that holds structure. Unlike lightweight shorts, canvas keeps its shape through the day, and the longer cut means the proportions work without cuffing or altering. Message us with reference SH10 for pit-to-pit, length and waist or inseam measured flat, plus extra photos.

Care

Wash cold and hang dry. If you have a raw hem it will fray about a centimetre then stabilise — that's normal and stops on its own.
