carpenter pants

Workwear with loops

Carpenter pants are loose-fitting work trousers with extra pockets and loops designed to hold tools.

The distinctive features include a hammer loop on the thigh and pockets sized for nails, pencils, or measuring tape.

Originally functional workwear, they became a casual fashion item in the 1990s: Those carpenter pants have so many pockets.
