I just found out about this brand, and they seem to have a cool aesthetic, dope team and quality product .

Anyone got any previous/current experience with loungin/skating their pants ?

More specifically- any insight on a comfy pair of their chinos, sid vs. club etc. ?

Any help would be appreciated, I'm looking to purchase a fresh pair of pants and shorts for the summer . I'm willing to dish out the dough!

I've seen the website a few years ago, then I was like What In (the) Phuck! Those prices, oof.

Their prices skyrocketed those last years, but thay have rather good products. Their jeans are rather good but to expensive. Good thing I have them for half the price.

I've always seen bmx/fmx bros wear carhartt interchangeably with dickies. The quality is probably there.

Yeah their stuff is pretty sick, but at that price, ive just bought the regular non wip carhartt equivalent. Carhartt quality is unbeatable

not pants related but, recently bought a carhartt WIP navy chore coat from END.
this thing is fucking perfect. I'm 5'10'', the small fits me just right.

Carhartt quality is top notch but prices are too damn high for a average skater, at least here in Portugal. I have just one Carhartt Bomber jacket that was least than half the price and i love it, but couldn't get it at full price... I usually don't have money for Carhartt so i buy Dickies that has quality products for a way more fair price.

(It seams that all the rich cool kids here use Carhartt like it is some kind of status symbol, the cool boy brand. dunno if it's that way everywhere)

They also have probably the best Euro Team!

I have a Carhartt longsleeve work shirt that is dope. The small is a little big on me though and I wear a medium normally.

Carhartt stuff is great but the prices are horrible. When I was in New York last year I went to the WIP store there and blew some money...happy with the stuff, for sure. But it's in "splurge" territory for me.

Yeah, Carhartt's sizing is really weird. I normally wear an L, and their large is like a XL if not XXL.

I usualy use M in my jackets but my carhartt one is a L and fits just fine... My lady bought me one from the collab Carhartt x Antiz in L for christmas but i had to go to the shop to trade it for something else because it was too big! I would say, if you can, try it first because they are wierd in sizing.

The WIP stuff is more fitted no?

hsggreen · « **Reply #12 on:** April 04, 2015, 06:44:49 AM »

Interested in WIP, the common stuff I get at Bass Pro lasts forever. Ten years strong on the same work coat.

WIP is like a euro streetwear company that licenses the name/logo from the workwear in america

QUIT SINNIN · « **Reply #15 on:** April 04, 2015, 11:25:51 PM »

Still blows my mind that Carhartt is a legit streetwear/skate brand in Europe...

CatchMyFADE · « **Reply #16 on:** April 06, 2015, 10:46:51 AM »

I have a couple pairs of the paints. The fit is way better than your traditional carhartt stuff you get at an army navy store. The construction is so far above your typical pair of pants, I've had one pair for about 3 years now & still no holes & aren't super worn looking. They'll run you between 70-90 dollars. I was skeptical, but they've won me over & I swear by them now.

WIP quality is really hit or miss. IF you go into it expecting a well-tailored version of their workwear staples you will be disappointed. The double Knees don't have shit on their carpenter counterparts, but the fit is perfect for me so I make do. Bought some socks and I can say they were 100% garbage. Pretty much never worth buying at full price.

It's pretty nice stuff. Try and scoop some END Clothing or similar has end of season sales. The Sid pants are some of the nicest around.

Frank · « **Reply #19 on:** April 11, 2015, 12:50:10 PM »

the wip is pretty new for america but in europe carhartt was marketed as a skate- and streetwear brand since at least the late nineties. they actually did a lot for european skateboarding as a whole and put out a lot of good projects and had(?) a rad skate team. pontus used to ride for them as well and rep them super hard.

but since it's called carhartt wip and marketed internationally a lot of designs have gone to the shitter imo. it's like they botch a perfect shirt with a silly printed panel or some shit. there's still good stuff, but i like the workwear the most and i can get that slightly cheaper in workwear stores here, too, instead of fashion stores.

In America Carhartt is mainly an outdoors/work clothes type deal associated with the blue collar and rednecks. So no not really. I didn't even know they did skate shit.

I never heard of this before, so I just went to the site to check it out. I really like their stuff. I'm already a fan of normal Carhartt stuff, but WHY IN GOD'S NAME IS IT SO EXPENSIVE?!?!?!

It's like $88 for a pair of shorts!!!

Sorry if the answer to my question is above. I didn't feel like reading all that stuff.
