Carhartt Double Knee Repaired Distressed Pants Brown

These are vintage Carhartt Double Knee work pants in light brown duck canvas, with visible darned repairs stitched in above both front knees. They're for someone who wants a pair whose repair history is part of the look.

Heavy cotton duck on Carhartt's reinforced double-front knee construction, with a hammer loop on the right hip, contrast stitching and deep utility pockets. Dense machine-darned blocks run across both legs above the knee where the canvas was mended, there's an open tear at the left hip beside the pocket, and the hems have frayed out. The canvas has faded to a soft taupe-brown through the seat and thighs. Most vintage Carhartts are simply worn down; this one was kept in service and fixed, which is a different kind of wear to buy into.

Buy them if you want the mended version rather than the merely faded one.
