Carhartt WIP

Carhartt was founded by Hamilton Carhartt in Detroit in 1889 as a classic American workwear brand, producing hard-wearing, quality workwear clothing for railroad workers. The Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) brand was established by Edwin Faeh in 1994 as a new division of the original workwear label, with the WIP division defined by its producing durable and adaptable items that have garnered attention from a range of sub-culture groups. Over the last few years, Carhartt-WIP has formed relationships with underground and upcoming artists, musicians, skaters and sportsmen who have developed its signature style in their own individual way, helping to redefine the brand. The brand is constantly innovating through collaborations with other renowned labels in the fashion industry, recently with the likes of APC, Brain Dead, Converse, Nike and Junya Watanabe. Today, the brand is renowned for their Carhartt Sid and Abbot Pants as well as jacket models like Carhartt Nimbus and Michigan jackets and other classics like the Pocket logo t-shirts and Chase sweatshirts and Hoodies. As the streetwear division, WIP includes a collection of durable and comfortable clothing that lasts. A fusion of workwear and street style, items always live up to their heavy-duty reputation, consistently using high standard materials. Carhartt WIP remains true to the brand's origins and founding mission to bring distinct American workwear to the European market, though over the years it has redefined and adapted its characteristics to produce high-quality and innovative designs in durable fabrics to better suit Carhartt WIP's evolving audience and consumer.
