Carhartt Floyde Short

The Carhartt Floyde Short in Ristretto Garment Dyed provides a robust and functional solution for your summer wardrobe. These Carhartt WIP shorts solve the issue of stiff, uncomfortable workwear by undergoing a specific garment dyeing process that softens the fabric and creates a rich, lived-in Ristretto brown colour from the first wear. Built with a focus on utility and a modern silhouette, they offer a durable option that bridges the gap between traditional industrial apparel and contemporary daily staples.

Key Features

• Fabricated from heavy cotton twill for maximum resistance to abrasions and daily wear.
• Garment-dyed finish ensures a softer hand feel and a complex, unique depth of colour.
• Elasticated waistband with an adjustable integrated belt for a custom, secure fit.
• Multiple tool pockets and a hammer loop nod to the brand’s authentic workwear roots.
• Relaxed, straight leg cut designed to provide comfort and freedom of movement.

At Urban Industry we recommend

• Outdoor tasks and DIY projects where durable, protective legwear is essential.
• Summer hiking and urban exploration due to the breathable yet tough fabric construction.
• Enthusiasts of the brand's evolution can discover more in our Carhartt WIP History feature.
• Pairing with a heavy duty t-shirt and trainers for a balanced, functional aesthetic.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shorts are designed with a relaxed fit, offering plenty of room through the seat and thigh.
• Here at the store we recommend choosing your usual waist size, as the integrated belt allows for fine tuning the fit.
  
• The length typically sits just above the knee, providing a classic profile that works well for various heights.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 30 degrees with similar dark colours to maintain the Ristretto pigment.
• Wash inside out to protect the surface of the twill and any branded hardware.
• Avoid the use of a tumble dryer; instead, hang to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Use a warm iron if necessary, but the garment-dyed nature of the fabric is designed to look best with its natural texture.

Carhartt Floyde Short - Our FAQs

1. What is garment dyeing?
   This is a process where the finished garment is dyed after being sewn, resulting in a softer feel and a slightly washed, vintage appearance at the seams.
2. Are these shorts suitable for skating?
   Yes, the heavy cotton twill and reinforced stitching make them highly durable and resistant to falls or grip-tape abrasion.
3. Does the belt come included?
   Yes, the Floyde Short features a built in webbing belt that is fully adjustable and integrated into the waistband.
4. Will the brown colour bleed into other clothes?
   As with all garment dyed items, there may be some colour transfer during the first few washes, so we recommend washing them separately or with dark tones.
