About this collection

Pants & Shorts

Vintage bottoms don't get the same attention as tees and jackets, but the right pair of pants can anchor an entire outfit. This collection features over 70 vintage pants and shorts spanning denim, cargos, track pants, sweats, and athletic shorts from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s.

Vintage denim leads the pack. Levi's, Wrangler, Lee, and brand-name jeans with real wear and a fit that modern denim can't replicate. There's also the 90s workwear influence. Carhartt pants, Dickies, and utility wear that crossed over from the job site to streetwear.

Track pants and athletic shorts from Nike, Adidas, Champion, and Starter show up regularly. These are the nylon warm-ups, mesh shorts, and tearaway pants that defined gym class and sideline style from the mid-80s through the early 2000s.

Cargo shorts and pants have their own following, the oversized pockets, the relaxed fits, and the utility aesthetic that's cycled back into relevance. Our vintage cargos are the real thing, not modern interpretations.

Every pair is measured and photographed so you can confirm the fit before buying. Vintage sizing varies significantly by brand and era, so check the measurements in the listing rather than relying on the tag size.

Questions, answered

Questions about Pants & Shorts

Vintage Levi's tag ladders, Carhartt double-knee, Dickies 874, Starter NBA tearaway warm-ups, military OG-107, and Y2K basketball shorts. The questions below cover dating Levi's by tab, flat-lay sizing, workwear authentication, and the shop fitting room.
How do you grade bottoms condition?
Five-tier scale, hand-graded: Mint, Near Mint, Very Good, Good, Fair. For pants and jeans we look hardest at hem wear, knee thinning, crotch reinforcement and any blowouts, pocket bag integrity, button and rivet completeness, zipper function, waistband stretch, and any repairs. On selvedge denim we photograph the inside outseam. On workwear we note any fabric loss, paint, oil, or solvent staining. Hidden hem repairs and re-rivets get called out explicitly.
How does vintage denim sizing work?
Tagged waist and tagged inseam are starting points only. Vintage Levi's tagged 34x32 can measure anywhere from 33 to 35 actual waist after decades of wash and wear. Every PDP carries a measured flat-lay set: actual waist (laid flat, doubled), front rise, back rise, thigh width, knee width, leg opening, inseam from crotch to hem, full outseam.
How do you date vintage Levi's?
Tag stack, rivet style, fly construction, back-pocket arcuate stitching, and the red-tab progression. Big E (capital E on the red tab) is the late 60s and earlier ladder. Small e Red Tab covers most of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Orange Tab covers the 70s through early 90s on 505, 517, and the looser cuts. We photograph the back-pocket arcuate, the red tab, the inside care label, and the button-fly stamp before listing.
What workwear brands and eras do you carry?
Carhartt double-knee dungaree from the 80s and 90s union-tag era, Carhartt B01 and B11 work pants, Dickies 874 from the spell-out logo runs, Big Smith, Lee dungaree, Wrangler ranch and Wrangler 13MWZ cowboy cut. Military utility runs include OG-107 sateen utility pants and BDU trousers with original DLA contract tags photographed.
Are the team warm-up pants authentic licensees?
Yes. We will not list a Starter NBA tearaway warm-up without the period-correct Starter tag, the NBA hologram or printed licensee mark, and construction matching the team graphic era. Same standard for Pro Line NFL warm-ups, Champion NBA contract era, Reebok NHL track pants, Nike Team Sports. If the snap configuration, side-stripe pattern, or tag stack does not match the era, the piece does not get listed.
How does sizing work on basketball shorts?
90s and Y2K basketball shorts run loose by modern standards. A Y2K Champion NBA short tagged Large sits longer in the inseam and looser through the thigh than a modern athletic short. Every PDP lists waist measured flat doubled, full inseam, front rise, leg opening. Most vintage athletic shorts use elastic waistbands that have stretched over time, so the measured waist matters more than the tagged size.
How do you clean denim and workwear before listing?
Cold wash inside-out for cotton denim, hang dry. No fabric softener. Vintage selvedge gets a soak rather than an agitator wash on the rare cases where deeper cleaning is required. Workwear with paint or solvent staining is cleaned only as far as it will go without damaging the fabric, and the remaining marks are graded into the listing rather than hidden.
What is the return policy on bottoms?
Online orders: 14 days from delivery to start a return. Item must be unworn, original condition intact, buyer covers return shipping. In-store purchases: exchange or store credit only, no cash refund. Every PDP includes the full flat-lay measurement set so sizing returns are uncommon.
How do you ship pants and jeans?
Folded into a poly mailer for jeans, sweats, and lighter pants. Boxed for heavy workwear pairs, military trousers, and any pair where folding would damage embroidery or chain-stitch detail. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on weight and destination. Tracking goes out by email same day or next business day after the order is placed.
Do you buy vintage denim and workwear?
Yes. Strongest interest in vintage Levi's (501 Big E and Small e, Orange Tab 505 and 517, 70s and 80s in particular), Carhartt double-knee from the union-tag era, Dickies 874 from the spell-out runs, Wrangler 13MWZ cowboy cut, Starter NBA and NFL tearaway warm-ups, Champion reverse-weave sweats, military OG-107 sateen, and Y2K basketball shorts from the original licensee era. Bring them in during shop hours.

Every piece in this collection earned its spot through hands-on sourcing, condition grading, and a lot of late nights. We pull from estate sales, dead-stock attics, and the occasional miracle. If it is here, we trust it.
