Dime MTL Carpenter Denim Shorts – Black Washed

The Dime MTL Carpenter Denim Shorts in Black Washed are a pre-shrunk 100% cotton denim short with double-knee reinforcements, available from Gallery Streetwear, an authorized Canadian Dime MTL retailer in Kelowna BC shipping Canada-wide.

The double knee is what makes this a carpenter short rather than a denim short with utility detailing bolted on. A second layer of denim sits over the knee panel, which is the standard workwear answer to wear and tear and the reason skate brands borrow the construction. The Classic Denim Short in Dime's range does not have it.

The rest reads as workwear too: Western pockets with a front-right coin pocket, a hammer loop and tool pocket, and at the back the wavy patch pockets and shaped yoke that are Dime's clearest denim signature. Branding is embroidered — a logo on the front-left pocket and a patch on the back-right waistband — on a black washed, lived-in finish.

What is double-knee construction on a denim short?

Double-knee construction adds a second layer of denim over the panel that takes the most contact. It is the standard workwear answer to wear and tear, and it is why skate denim borrows it. On these shorts it sits alongside carpenter utility detailing and embroidered Dime branding.

How are the Dime Carpenter Denim Shorts different from the Classic Denim Shorts?

Double-knee reinforcements. The Carpenter short adds a second denim layer at the knee panel that the Classic Denim Short does not have. Both share Western pockets with a front-right coin pocket, wavy patch pockets and a shaped yoke at the back, and embroidered Dime branding at the front pocket and rear waistband.

What washes do the Dime MTL Carpenter Denim Shorts come in?

Gallery Streetwear carries the Dime MTL Carpenter Denim Short in three washes: Black Washed, Blue Washed and Sandblasted Indigo. The carpenter detailing and the pre-shrunk 100% cotton denim run across all three, so the wash is the main variable between them.
