The origins of Carhartt - from workplace to street fashion
Since 1889, the American brand Carhartt (pronounced "kar-hart") has been producing sustainable work clothing. Hamilton Carhartt started his business in Detroit, Michigan with a simple idea: to make quality clothing for people who work hard. And that turned out very well! Although the brand's first clothing was produced for railway workers, the brand quickly became popular among workers in other sectors. In the 1990s, people also started to wear this clothing as casual wear. It became popular within hip-hop culture and eventually also with celebrities such as Eazy E and LL Cool J. The iconic C logo symbolizes quality, sustainability and street credibility in various subcultures. To this day, it is still worn by many, and the iconic logo is visible everywhere.
An assortment full of timeless classics!
Thanks to Carhartt's rich history, you can still find classics to this day. Take, for example, the very first Carhartt item ever: the bib overalls. In addition, there are also iconic pieces such as shirts, t-shirts long an short sleeve (logo pocket t-shirt), hoodies, sweaters, hats (acrylic watch hat), beanies, pants and jackets (such as the Detroit & Bartlett jacket). Every season new t-shirts are introduced with striking graphics, so there is always something new to discover. In addition to workwear, Carhartt also produces work shoes, which not only provide the necessary protection as expected from professional safety shoes, but are also distinguished by the contemporary and unique Carhartt style. You will also find various nice accessories for your beloved four-legged friend, including collars, jackets and toys.

This results in a better fit and more comfort during the working day. Each garment specifically for women offers optimal freedom of movement and the right support where necessary.
Carhartt WIP or Carhartt Workwear?
We now know the origins of this beautiful brand, but what is Carhartt WIP and how did it come about? More than 25 years ago, Carhartt began to refocus on foreign markets and entered into an agreement to distribute their products in Europe. This led to the establishment of WIP 'Work in Progress', with headquarters in Amsterdam. This collection is inspired by Carhartt's Workwear line, but offers a unique twist designed specifically for streetwear. The difference between Carhartt Workwear and WIP is that WIP is not official workwear, but everyday fashion.
When it comes to quality, Carhartt workwear stands out above the WIP collection. Made from robust materials, Carhartt's workwear can withstand the toughest jobs. It is produced in North and South America, mainly to guarantee the brand's renowned quality and durability. But it doesn't stop here. Carhartt has made the design of the workwear so stylish that it looks like real fashion. So even after you've done your work, you can still make an impression in your spare time.
Our tip? Go for Carhartt Workwear. It lasts longer and is just as stylish as WIP. Why compromise when you can have the best of both worlds?
What makes Carhartt workwear so exceptional in terms of protection?
Carhartt uses advanced materials such as Cordura® and (stretch) Ripstop. Cordura® is known for its exceptional wear resistance and is often used on knees, pockets and other wear-sensitive areas. This ensures that your clothes last longer, even with intensive use. Ripstop fabric is lightweight but extra strong, which prevents tearing. In the updated Super Dux collection, the material is even lighter and more durable, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts because it offers protection against wind and rain.
With technologies such as Rain Defender® you stay dry during wet working days thanks to a water-repellent coating. Wind Fighter® protects you from cold winds, while Storm Defender® offers the perfect balance between waterproofness and breathability. Thanks to the Rugged Flex® technology you have optimal flexibility, so you can bend, stretch and move effortlessly while working.
At Carhartt you often come across the term "Force®", recognizable by a special logo on the clothing. This technology has been developed to keep you cool and fresh during intensive physical activities and on hot days or in hot environments. In addition, the material is lightweight for extra comfort. Force® includes technologies such as FastDry® (wicks sweat and combats odor with antibacterial finish) and Stain Breaker® (releases stains).
Safety also means being visible. Many Carhartt garments are equipped with 3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective materials, which provides better visibility in dark conditions.
Maintenance tips: Your work clothes can last even longer!
Carhartt workwear is known for its durability, but a little extra care can extend its lifespan even further. Here are some helpful maintenance tips to ensure it lasts even longer. First of all, follow the washing instructions that come with your garment: for example, use mild detergents and avoid bleach to protect the fabric. Also try turning it inside out before washing to minimize wear and tear on the outside. Second, avoid excessive drying in the dryer; prefer to hang it to dry to preserve the fibers. Finally, repair any small cracks or holes as soon as possible to prevent further damage. With these simple tips, your Carhartt work clothes will stay in top condition for all your adventures in the workplace!
How does Carhartt clothing fit?
Please note that Carhartt's Workwear collection uses American sizing, different from the WIP collection. In terms of appearance and fit, the work clothing is spacious and robust, with that typical Carhartt loose-fit look. It is designed to be comfortable, offer plenty of freedom of movement and make wearing multiple layers easier.
Our experience shows that Carhartt work trousers often run a bit smaller. Are you hesitating between two sizes? Then choose the larger size. For outerwear, it is usually a full size larger than normal (and this in the broad sense of the word). That's why we recommend ordering one size smaller than your usual size. We always contact our customers about this, because many are mistaken about this.
Why Carhartt is worth the price
Carhartt workwear is not cheap, and for good reason. It is made to last a lifetime, even under the toughest conditions. The material is of robust quality, designed for intensive use, and with an eye for detail, which ensures that you get value for your money. Every piece of clothing is extensively tested before the decision is made to sell it. It is not without reason that this A-brand has had a fantastic reputation for more than 130 years.
Prices vary depending on the specific garment and collection. In general, the price for Carhartt workwear is between €30 and €200, depending on things such as material, functionality and design.
