Old Navy always seems to have a version of them for boys.</p> <p>This slim leg version looks FAB on you, Rae! Your bag turned out great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i/page/2#post-674351 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 02:57:33 +0000 Kari 674351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to love to wear my carpenter jeans (and overalls) around my grandpa, because he'd always tease me and say "You need a hammer in that pocket!"</p> <p>They look cute on you, Rae. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i/page/2#post-674292 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 01:44:16 +0000 Angie 674292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Naughty and nice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674258 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 01:02:58 +0000 MNsara 674258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, those almost-white painters pants (probably Lees brand) were ALL the rage back in the 70s!! They were truly high waisted (even for the guys because these were mens pants), no stretch, and I even wore SIZE 25!!!!!! then (boy, those were the days).</p> <p>Rae, yours look great - like your personal twist on BF jeans - and I like that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674256 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 00:58:40 +0000 Marley 674256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carpenter jeans - in denim and white. Denim carpenter overalls. LOVED them all - but I never rocked them as well as you're rocking this outfit. I love that blouse with them - perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674242 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 00:44:07 +0000 Abie 674242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Add me to the carpenter jeans and combat boot club! Those are very fab carpenders Ray, you look awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674237 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 00:33:40 +0000 Diana 674237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, I had some carpenter jeans in the 90s. They were light wash and too short. Yours are much more fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674231 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 00:24:42 +0000 rae 674231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mander, now I have to wear these with combat boots - thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674227 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 00:18:53 +0000 Mo 674227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hunh - I remember them as a mid 70's craze. Guess I was on to other looks by the 90's . . .</p> <p>Oh, and Rae, yours look adorable on you, in a kick ass kind of way, of course </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674223 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 00:12:15 +0000 Mander 674223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah yes, they were quite popular for a while in the 90s, about the same time that cargo pants became big (at least in my neighborhood!). I associate them with grunge -- I had a pair that I always wore with combat boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674217 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 00:08:53 +0000 Mo 674217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I clearly remember having a red pair in 6th grade. I even remember the tag "Sam's Jams" because I got teased about it lol. They are right up there with Chermin de Fer, and their choo choo train logo, hip huggers in my memory vault. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674216 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 00:05:52 +0000 Deborah 674216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I have a vague recall of these bit I never had them:). These look great on you Rae and your styling certainly gives mthem a contemporary vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674208 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:53:47 +0000 greenglove 674208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to wear white "painter pants" all the time!<br /> You look gorgeous as usual!<br /> Love you in yellow!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674206 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:51:08 +0000 kellygirl 674206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahem, I remember them too. Yours look way more fab than mine--although I think mine were overalls (cringe.) You look sassy and cute, Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674203 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:48:03 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 674203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe mine were medium wash Lee carpenter jeans. I also remember lipsmackers and 10 0 6 lotion. I wore the jeans with the white canvas Nike runners with the dark aqua swoosh.</p> <p>Great jeans Rae. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674184 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:20:47 +0000 rae 674184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I guess I'm the only one who didn't know about this style. I really like it - masculine, utilitarian, rugged... what's not to love?</p> <p>JR, I had to try several tops before I settled on this one. The masculine jeans were crying out for a feminine top, I guess. I like the juxtaposition, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674160 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:01:30 +0000 JR 674160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember them too, *sigh*. Can't remember anybody wearing them with a shiny shirt though. Nice touch! Love the juxtaposition of the feminine and the masculine you have going on here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674136 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 22:38:24 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 674136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually wore my Carhartt carpenter pants to work every day in the summer for the past 3 years (field work). That loop is very handy for all sorts of tools. So yes, I clearly remember them. Yours are a feminine take on the utilitarian classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-674109 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 22:13:31 +0000 lynne 674109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved my carpenter jeans. I had white painter pants too, as well as painter pants in cobalt blue and in red. The current colored jeans trend reminds me how much I loved these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-673921 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 19:11:59 +0000 Meredith1953 673921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love carpenter pants and haven't seen any for such a long time! You look good in them and I like the light colored footwear too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-673905 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 19:02:08 +0000 Amy 673905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like carpenter jeans.

Thanks, Elizabeth! :D</p> <p>I *love* picturing the carpenter overalls. I tried overall shorts not too long ago, but they didn't work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remember-carpenter-jeans-yeah-neither-did-i#post-673674 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 15:36:43 +0000 Freckles 673674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too Nadya, carpenter overalls all the way.

Totally cute outfit - I love the yellow and grey and contrast of finishes. </p>
