I just received these Carhartts in the mail and they look great!  love the durability and the style although the sizing is different then most pants I wear on the small side. I am not sure if they will shrink in the wash, and if they do that would be a bummer and I would have to return them because they barely fit as they are.

Usually I where a 32x32 and even have some 30x32 pants I can where comfortably, because of that I thought I would try these out in 32x32 though putting them on they are feeling a bit small. I think I would be happier with a bigger size and even if they where a little on the big side I could just where a belt like I usually do.

So if you are looking for a great tough pair of work pants these could be the ones, but order a size bigger then you usually would, and be warned they are relatively snug fitting so if you have to big thighs they may be a bit uncomfortable. Also the cargo pockets really don't actually have a whole lot of room, which is one thing I would change on these pants if I could.

After one week: There was no noticeable shrinkage to speak of from washing and I decided that these will do although next time I will order a 33x34 because they are still a little tighter then I would prefer, especially with things in the cargo pockets, although they are breaking in nicely and I am very happy with my purchase and this new style of Carhartt!
