CARHARTT WIP OG SINGLE KNEE SHORT | DENIM SHORTS WITH DESTROYED FINISH

Workwear denim, street aesthetic: Carhartt WIP OG Single Knee Short with destroy wash finish

Some garments have a history before you even put them on. The Carhartt WIP OG Single Knee Short arrives with a destroy wash finish that simulates years of real-world use: intentional wear, paint splatters spread across the garment, and heavy cotton denim that can handle whatever you throw at it. Wide fit, tool pockets, hammer loop. Workwear reinterpreted for the streets, with no compromises.

WHY THESE SHORTS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

The OG Single Knee Short is not just another pair of denim shorts. It is the most workwear-focused version in the Carhartt WIP catalog, featuring utilitarian details that make sense beyond the aesthetic:

• Heavy cotton denim with destroy wash finish — The distressing treatment creates an intentionally aged and worn-in look, with color variations and paint splatters unique to each piece.
• Wide fit with a regular waist — Wider than the standard Single Knee Pant: more room in the waist, thigh, and leg. Comfort with no limits on movement.
• Tool pockets and hammer loop — Functionality inherited directly from the original workwear. Utilitarian details that distinguish the OG from other shorts in the range.
• Five full pockets — Front, back, and coin pocket. Storage capacity of work pants, in a short format.
• Zip fly — Clean and functional.
• Woven Square Label on the back — The hallmark of Carhartt WIP on the right back pocket.
• Bartack stitching and metal rivets at vital stress points — Reinforced construction in high-wear areas. Built to last, not just for show.

EXPERT ADVICE

The OG Single Knee Short is one of those models that demands a second look. The paint splatters from the destroy wash mean no two pieces are identical: what would be an accidental stain on work pants is the finish here. The blue destroy wash pairs well with neutral-toned layers; the black handles the transition to colder seasons better when worn with a sweatshirt. Regarding sizing: the wide fit is generous, but if you're looking for that characteristic OG volume, stick with your usual size.

CARHARTT WIP WARRANTY — RUGGED SINCE 1889

Carhartt was born in 1889 in Detroit, founded by Hamilton Carhartt with a single purpose: to manufacture workwear that could withstand whatever American workers demanded of it. More than a century later, that philosophy remains intact. In 1994, Carhartt WIP (Work In Progress) launched as the brand's European division, reinterpreting the workwear vocabulary for the urban world, skateboarding, and club culture without losing an ounce of the original durability. Since 2017, Carhartt WIP has been a member of the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), committed to more responsible cotton across its entire production chain.

• Machine wash at max 40 °C
• Tumble dry at max 60 °C
