Double knee is the legendary wide leg pants of work wear fashion for workers with high work intensity and it comes from the brand Carhart, one of the famous workwear brands. After many ups and downs of current fashion, Double knee products have risen again. So the question is what has Doubleknee been doing all this time?
DOUBLE KNEE WIDE LEG PANTS OVER TIME
To talk about the early days, the Carhartt brand was the pioneer in bringing Double knee pants to contemporary fashion.
Briefly about Carhartt is the uniform brand for the American working class since its founding in 1889. The now global brand from Detroit originally started out making overalls and coveralls for railroad construction workers.
From the workers wearing the appropriate outfits for each job they do, the product developers have created a term for a new pants product called "DOUBLE KNEE" which roughly translates to double knee. This means that the pants from the thigh to the calf have an extra piece of fabric above. The perfect DUCK canvas fabric is what creates the durability of the Double knee wide-leg pants.
More about the Double Knee was created by 2 designers Hayato and Tombogo with a break in design Hayato combined his styles with details like colorful contrast stitching or patterns covering the panels on the designer's furniture-inspired knee-length wide-leg pants, while Tombogo created the Double-Knee Pant, a style of pants on steroids with many wide, customizable pockets with removable and reversible panels
Double knee at that time was simply for the work needs of workers, they needed to protect the lower body as well as have many pockets to be able to hold more work tools.
As time went on, Carhartt wide-leg pants in general and Double Knees in particular became a staple of street hip hop. The look is perhaps most associated with West Coast rap legends like NWA or Snoop Dogg, who helped popularize the look on a more mainstream level in the late 80s and early 90s.
THE REAL REASON YOU NEVER KNOW ABOUT DOUBLE KNEE
There isn't really a "right" or "wrong" answer when it comes to the style and color of the Double knee.

Double knee pants are so versatile that you can even have several pairs in your closet at once.
DOUBLE KNEE jeans have been popular ever since these wide leg jeans were worn by celebrities but more importantly they have a cool feature that they offer the wearer. While workwear is definitely a more trendy option at the moment with skinny jeans no longer in vogue, streetwear has embraced the well-made and constructed Double Knee for decades.
Penetrating hiphop and gradually becoming popular with hiphop players of the same time, Double knee has revealed the features of a pair of genuine work wear wide-leg pants in addition to durability, flexibility is more important than anything else even when it is torn to pieces, it still brings beauty to the Double knee.
Besides, Double knee pant is gradually known by skaters, inherently the intensity of practicing techniques makes normal pants wear out quickly, so finding a pair of pants that is both aesthetically pleasing and durable is inevitable.
And from there, Double knee gradually penetrated the fashion industry through the streetwear hiphop pedal. Double knee began to be known not only for its innovation but also for the transformation from industrial workwear fashion products to hiphop street fashion.
DOUBLE KNEE LEGENDARY WIDE LEG PANTS EVERYONE SHOULD OWN
After many ups and downs of fashion, lifestyle as well as external environmental impacts have greatly affected the current dressing style, typically wide baggy pants have flourished again after many years of being dominated by skinny pants, slimfit pants, .... But once you realize how much more comfortable the extra space between the legs and the pants is, you will understand that it is worth it.
Also, no matter how you like your pants, keep them fitted. Not everyone uses an iron, but just make sure you don't walk out with wrinkled pants.
Following that change, workwear in general and Double knee in particular have returned with a neater style. Returning to Vietnam at the present time, there is no local brand that has taken the lead in making Double knee pants with a minimalist trend.
Double knee has now escaped the circle of work wear protective gear and has entered a new era of street fashion where the pants carry the dusty quality of the street. Skaters are very fond of this line of pants because they like the spacious comfort, they like the fading of pants worn a lot or the tears to create highlights on the pants. With the strong training intensity of Skateboarding or street hip hop, having a durable pair of pants to meet that need is obviously Double knee.
Here is a little advice: "rock" these pants so much that there are stains and tears because that is the highlight of your outfit and also makes the pants unique.
