Carhartt work pants are made from a variety of tough materials:
-
Duck or
Firm Duck is made from stiff, ring-spun cotton. Part of the canvas family,
duck fabric is snag proof, wind proof, and extremely durable.
-
Canvas is a lightweight, durable material made from 100% cotton. While slightly lighter than Carhartt duck,
Carhartt canvas pants are both rugged and comfortable.
-
Washed Duck is made from durable, classic duck that's been washed to give it a worn-in look and feel.
Washed duck fabric breaks in faster, but maintains its durability. Washed duck is comparable to Carhartt's now-retired sandstone fabric.
-
Ripstop is a reinforced poly/cotton fabric that's designed to keep rips from spreading.
Carhartt ripstop pants have a small grid-like pattern on their surface.
-
Twill is lightweight and durable.
Twill fabric gives the appearance of dress slacks and is a popular choice for workers who wear uniforms.
