Carhartt Womens The Essential Canvas Pant

These are great pants for me! Recognizing that bodies come in all shapes and sizes, here is why they are great for me and might be great for you. The Fit: I am typically a size 8 or M pant, and I find most standard length pants to be just about an inch too short for me. I am 5'7", 138 lbs, 28 inch natural waist. I bought a size 8 Tall, and these pants fit almost perfectly, with just a little room to spare. When they go through the washer and dryer for the first time I imagine they will shrink just a bit, based on other reviews I've read. They sit at my waist just below the belly button. Not too high, not too low. That sweet spot that's very comfortable, without looking frumpy. Love the length. They are long enough - I have about an inch to spare - so that if they do shrink in the dryer, they will still be long enough for me. (I prefer pant legs to break at /over the top of my foot, not above or at my ankle.) This is a huge plus for me! Color: These pants are a nice dark olive color. In dimmer light they look almost brown. I find this color to be versatile enough to go with multiple shirt colors on top, at least in my wardrobe. Fabric: It feels like a nice sturdy fabric. Feels like a heavy denim pant. But there's a nice little bit of stretch and flexibility to the fabric if you need to bend and move. They would probably be more comfortable for traveling than a pair of jeans would be. (I'm planning to put that to the test soon and will report back if I determine otherwise.) And final note, the pockets are fantastic. I can't speak to other body types but for my size, weight and height, these are absolutely a perfect pair of pants!

These are exactly what I've been looking for. Waist fits great with a "relaxed" fit in the legs that leaves room for crouching and moving around (which i do a lot of in the hvac/pipe work field) and plenty of pockets in the right spots. Great for winter as well as you have room for a layer underneath for fleece leggings or long John's. Nice durable canvas-like material that still has a bit of stretch. Honestly these are perfect for what I do at work and still somehow have a fitted silhouette even though they are considered relaxed fit. Long story short I really like them, and ordered 3 pairs. Definitely recommend, these are probably the best women's Utility work pants I've found so far and I've tried a decent amount. I'm 5'3 and currently 135ish pounds and ordered a size 4 regular

Carhartt's reputation precedes itself, and I was even more surprised at how much I needed these pants in my life but didn't know it. The pockets!!!! Actual pockets that fit more than just lip balm! These are the best work pants I now own. I work as a technician in higher education so I'm frequently in weird positions repairing various things, or working with chemistry. The fabric of these pants is sturdy but very comfortable. I like the natural fibres. I don't think the pants on their own would keep me extremely warm on a cold day without layering underneath, but in temperate climates the material is perfect. Not to warm. The waist height was as expected. For those wondering about the fit, my measurements are hip-40", height-4'11", waist- 31". I purchased the size 10 short - the shortest length available and it was still slightly a bit long to wear with my sneakers, that was easily remedied by rolling up the legs a couple times and made the length perfect. The waist was definitely bigger than what I need and I had a bit of a gap, but I purchased the size that would fit my hips and used a carhartt belt to cinch the waist. Otherwise the pants are amazing. I love how many pockets there are and the placement of them. They have a little bit of stretch and end up relaxing after a few hours of wear. I came back to purchase a second pair and the quality is so good that I think these will last a good long while. Update 07/11/2025: The pants are still great but I noticed a difference in the number of pockets in two different colours. The black has additional pockets on the left, while the asphalt has fewer. I bought the same style the only difference was supposed to be the colour. Not sure why.

Nice pants, fit well they were a little bit thinner than I was expecting.

UPDATE #2. After casual wear, these have a hole in the thigh. Didn’t get caught on anything and wasn’t torn. It’s just worn. Not cool for ‘work’ pants only worn a couple months. C’mon Carhartt, do better UPDATE: So, these are nice and fitted after a wash, but at the end of the first day, and after a few days of wearing, they definitely loosened up. Notably, the crotch sags a bit. I still love the pants, and appreciate the stretch, which is great for crouching down, bending over, carrying things, etc, but wanted to clarify that these really are 'relaxed fit' after a few hours of wear. _______________________ So, relaxed fit means different things to different people, so I'll try to help clarify via my experience. I bought these in size 6 regular, thinking they'd be loose and a little long. I'm 5'7, about 130 or so. After one wash, these pants fit me exactly. The length is perfect. The fit is not in any way 'relaxed' or loose. (I'm *not* a skinny jeans person). These are definitely form fitted, but aren't tight like skinny pants...but for someone who wears regular pants, it feels kind of close to 'skinny'. The stretch in the pants makes them very comfortable. The rise is between low and high - sits right below the navel. I'm keeping them. They may end up being my favorite pants....

Im 5.5 and 190 lbs with big THIGHS and calves, i purchased a 10 regular and they fit good. I can move around and work comfortably in these pants. Navy Will order another color

Good product

Great pants and love these for work but the waist definitely fits on the larger side. They are a relaxed fit so they have room in the legs which is ok for work and appreciate it’s thick fabric so when I catch them on things, they don’t rip.

Fit small normally size 8 had buy 12

Good quality material, fit is alright, could fit better.
