Wrangler Jeans Appraisal

Men's Wrangler Denim Carpenter Shorts

The item is a pair of men's denim shorts, specifically a carpenter style, presented in a light to medium wash blue. The fabric appears to be 100% cotton denim, showing a slightly faded appearance consistent with stone-washing or regular wear, giving it a soft, worn-in look. The construction includes a standard button and zipper fly closure, with belt loops around the waistband. There are two front hip pockets, two patch pockets on the rear, and a small coin pocket within the right front pocket. A distinguishing feature of carpenter shorts is evident on the right leg, where a hammer loop and an additional utility pocket are visible; a similar utility pocket is also present on the left leg. The stitching throughout the shorts appears to be a contrasting gold or ochre color, typical for denim garments, indicating durable construction. The hems are finished with a double-fold stitch. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious tears, stains, or significant damage. There is some slight creasing and wear patterns visible, particularly around the pockets and stress points, which is normal for used denim of this style. A small patch, likely a brand label, is discernible on the waistband above the right rear pocket, though the text is illegible. The inner waistband also shows a small tag, potentially indicating size or brand. Based on the style and typical denim manufacturing, these shorts likely date from the late 20th century to early 21st century. The 'Wrangler' context provided suggests it's a product of that brand, known for its durable workwear. The quality of stitching and overall robust design point to a functional and hard-wearing garment.
