Carhartt WIP

Carhartt WIP is the contemporary extension of the original Carhartt brand, founded in Detroit in 1889. Developed in Europe in the late 1980s, Work In Progress reframes classic American workwear through a modern lens—retaining its utilitarian core while refining proportions, materials, and cultural context.

Design Language and Everyday Utility
Carhartt WIP is built on honest materials, functional construction, and clean silhouettes. Heavy-duty fabrics, utilitarian pockets, and relaxed proportions define the collections, offering clothing designed to perform while fitting seamlessly into everyday wardrobes.

Subculture and Creative Communities
Closely linked to skateboarding, music, and art scenes, Carhartt WIP has become a cultural uniform across global creative communities. The brand’s collaborations and projects reinforce its connection to authenticity, independence, and self-expression.

Responsibility Through Durability
Longevity is central to Carhartt WIP’s approach to responsibility. By focusing on durable construction, responsible material sourcing, and timeless design, the brand supports a slower fashion model grounded in repair, reuse, and long-term wear.
