Carpenter Jeans

Because carpenters need an array of tools at their fingertips all day long, the carpenter jean was born. Characteristics of a good pair of carpenter jeans include the five standard pockets most other jeans have, as well as at least one hammer loop and a pair of longer pockets at the back or side for carrying a variety of tools.

Usually, carpenter jeans are a more relaxed fit, roomier through the thighs and seat than most fashionable or designer jeans. The more relaxed cut allows for greater mobility when working. All these features add to the appeal that carpenter jeans have for all sorts of workers, as well as skaters and the BMX crowd.

Carpenter jeans for men are available from a number of popular labels, including: Carhartt, Firetrap, Quicksilver, Timberland and, of course, Levi’s. FCUK, Bench and Kickers make some of the most popular carpenter jeans for women. Some trendy kid’s carpenter jeans are available at the Gap.

The majority of popular denim brands produce their carpenter jeans for the autumn and winter collections. This is because carpenter jeans are typically made from heavier denim so they can stand up to the demands of workers and active people who wear them. However, popular labels also produce lighter-weight carpenter jeans for the spring and summer months, so you can still wear carpenter jeans in style, without breaking a sweat.

When you’re shopping for carpenter jeans online, bear in mind that the more generous cut might mean you need to take a size smaller than you’re used to. It’s best to pop into a local shop and try a pair on that are the same make you’re considering, so you know for sure. Also, when shopping online, be sure you buy your carpenter jeans from a well reviewed shop with a clear return policy.
