{"product_id":"field-repair-shorts","title":"Field Repair Shorts","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne-of-one reconstructed Carhartt shorts modified entirely by hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original garment was selected for its faded indigo patina and exceptional condition, a quality of vintage Carhartt workwear that has become increasingly difficult to find. The fabric carries years of natural wear, producing tonal variations and surface character that cannot be replicated through artificial distressing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver several weeks, the shorts underwent repeated revisions. Multiple construction directions, stitch treatments, and repair approaches were tested before arriving at a quieter and more restrained final design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe widened leg openings are constructed using additional side panels, a detail that has appeared in previous works but is explored here with greater attention to proportion, finishing, and reinforcement. Each panel is secured by hand-sewn stress point markers and finished with off-white X reinforcements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe leg openings are finished with a quadruple running stitch, producing subtle texture and density along the hem while providing additional stability to the widened silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll modifications were completed entirely by hand. Repairs, reinforcement stitches, darning, and finishing details were constructed without the use of industrial equipment, emphasizing a slower approach to garment making and visible construction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo hand-darned repairs appear on the garment: one positioned at the front fly and another beneath the rear pocket. Both are woven using aqua blue thread that complements the faded indigo fabric while introducing additional depth and color variation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe resulting garment balances workwear, repair, and reconstruction through a restrained approach to intervention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eONE OF ONE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e— One-of-one reconstructed Carhartt shorts\u2028\u003cbr\u003e— Naturally faded indigo workwear fabric\u2028\u003cbr\u003e— Widened leg opening panels\u2028\u003cbr\u003e— Hand-sewn stress point reinforcements\u2028\u003cbr\u003e— Off-white X bar tacks\u2028\u003cbr\u003e— Quadruple running stitch hem finish\u2028\u003cbr\u003e— Two hand-darned repair weaves\u2028\u003cbr\u003e— Aqua blue repair details\u2028\u003cbr\u003e— Entirely hand-constructed modifications\u2028\u003cbr\u003e— Visible construction throughout\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFIT\u003cbr\u003eRelaxed wide-leg silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winsome Studios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49314133344483,"sku":null,"price":228.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/8101\/2451\/files\/D2D8C79A-CB0F-4DAD-9367-D926A1109A21.jpg?v=1782404554","url":"https:\/\/winsomestudios.art\/products\/field-repair-shorts","provider":"Winsome Studios","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
