• Carhartt was founded in Detroit, Michigan, in 1889 to build rugged workwear for railroad workers.
  • The brand is legendary for its heavy-duty Firm Duck canvas , which is highly resistant to wind, tears, and water.
  • Because its gear is designed for active manual labor, traditional Carhartt clothing features a very spacious, loose fit to allow for easy layering and movement.
  • Over the decades, the company expanded beyond traditional job sites to become a massive cultural icon in streetwear, skateboarding, and hip-hop fashion .
  • Today, they offer specialized fabric technologies like Rain Defender® for water resistance and a numbered warmth rating system to help workers choose the right level of winter insulation.
