ACE Carpenter Sweatshort

About this find

The ACE Carpenter Sweatshort from Mack Weldon is a short-length pair of shorts with a straight leg. It has an elastic waistband with a flat drawstring that ties in a loose bow at the center front, so you can set the waist where you like it. The drawstring ends are finished with dark metal-look tips.

The carpenter styling shows in the pockets. A large patch-style pocket sits on each front leg, finished with visible topstitching, which gives the shorts a workwear look. Near the waistband, angled slash pockets sit along both side seams, giving you a quick spot for your hands, keys or phone.

Look closer and the finishing details stand out. The leg openings have visible stitched hems, which gives the straight, short leg a clean edge. Inside the back of the waistband, you will find the Mack Weldon name label sitting at the center. It is a small detail that marks where these shorts come from.

The straight shape makes these easy to pair with whatever tops you already own. Keep the drawstring bow loose for a relaxed look, or tie it a little tighter for a snugger waist. A plain tee is an easy match, since the patch pockets and topstitching already add plenty of visual interest.
