For Sale, Men's Pants, Hella Worn.
Canvas Utility Work Pants | 36 X 30
A few weeks ago, I did a deep clean of my closet. I found a reputable organization to donate to, and they asked for gently used clothing free of stains and holes.
As tightly as I could, I filled two board boxes with nothing but pants and a few bags worth of shirts.
The leftovers were what the Internet would call “Carhartt shit.” What seems to be a hot commodity at the vintage stores is the stolen valor Carhartt (Dickies too). While a bit of a hot button issue, I’d like to offer these joints for folks whose fashion choice is slightly more hard body and purloin.
These pants are garbage but are sure to inspire days widdled away printing graffiti stickers and scouring the Internet for band shirts. Sporting workwear without working is a jab as funny as skaters not having bedframes, and sometimes both punches go hand in hand.
I've always wanted to write catalog copy between growing up on CCS and deep admiration for many of the Seinfeld character arcs. I used to entertain myself by making flyers for parties and things for sale or trade. It’s been a long time, so here goes an advert for the 21st century. SEO optimized content for a targeted audience. For this reason, I’m offering these pants at a hella discount.
Black Carhartt Pants | Relaxed Fit | 38 x 30
For the Ishod heads out there, these black Carhartt pants go from the streets to the bar without much fuss at all. This particular pair contains multiple holes but a remarkably intact and still poping “C” logo on the right seat.
The relaxed fit of these jawns makes back smiths look effortless and pair nicely with Nike or Adidas. The multi-use pocket can comfortably fit:
A disposable camera
A potato peeler
A pickle-in-a-pouch
A single tall can
A device for checking Twitter
A pack of American Spirits or multiple Juuls
Due to a broken wrist, the wallet impact is on the non-tradition side.
Green Dickies Pants | Relaxed Fit Utility | 36 x 30
The beauty of these joints is the multiple grease stains. These could easily be mistaken for motorcycle oil stains if you’d like to combine this look with a Sturgis tee.
These pants were famously documented while visiting a goat farm in Docs and TNF jacket. The sanded duck fabric will cause heatstroke in the summertime and legitimately stand on its own if profusely sweated in. Good luck keeping these heavy-ass pants up with a shoelace belt.
The hammer loop can hold advanced instruments like a bar towel or a small roller for wheat pasting posters. These pockets can stash multiple markers and scratch tickets.
Dickies Black Carpenter Pants | 36 X 30
The sanded duck fabric comes alive in the black wash of these pants. Easily the most distressed tousers in the collection, I worked so hard over a burning flat top grill I don’t recall ever wearing these.
The frayed nature of these Dickies will look sick with well-seasoned boots of the same hue.
Paired with a carabiner (for the love of god, not the Carhartt carabiner), this hammer loop can hold a Hydro Flask or set of keys—a look best accomplished while you’re clearly on vacation.
Be careful of the shallow nature of the utility pocket on these—A cig box-sized object will fall out while riding a bike.
Dickies Duck Brown Shorts | 38 x 30
I just tried these on, and they’re not for sale anymore. However, here’s how to get them good and worn in:
Pick up a pair at your local Dickies retailer
Get a dishwashing/prep cook job via a temp agency
You’ll have to wear some compression tights underneath to follow the code
Show up for a week or two and do not wear an apron. Tuck in the shirt for maximum stainability.
Use your thighs as much as possible to assist in lifting garbage bags into the dumpster
Any smudges you get on your hands, wipe on your pants
Store in the freezer to escape the stench
It’s that easy. If you skateboard, carry that bad boy tightly against the thigh for the maximum fray.
Carhartt Men's Rugged Flex Rigby Short | 36 x 10
Just in time for summer is the multi-pocket, multi-holed Carhartt Rigby shorts. This hammer loop securely holds an adjustable hat in windy conditions.
Fun fact: one of the holes in the rear is patched on the interior with a strip of gaffer tape and colored in with Marsh K Stencil Ink. They’ve been washed multiple times and are still good to go.
To complete a look here, pair with Birkenstocks and socks or raw dog the Tevas.
Cheap Used Work Pants for Sale
According to National Public Radio, the average man’s waistline is 38-40. However, due to vanity, most dudes refuse to believe they’ve outgrown a 34. These pants of the right size can be our little secret.
