Our history
Carhartt Inc. was established in 1889 in Detroit, Michigan USA by Hamilton Carhartt. For over 119 years Carhartt has been dedicated to its mission of providing Best In Class apparel for the active worker.
Standing for rugged construction, innovative design and exceptional standards of quality, durability and comfort, Carhartt workwear has become a legend in the skilled trades.
Since 1994 Carhartt has been distributed in Europe through Work In Progress Textilhandels GmbH. Starting to distribute the regular collection from Carhartt Inc., Work In Progress processed quickly to adapt Carhartt to the European market. In 1997 the first selection of pieces made especially for the European market were added to the regular collection.
Easily Carhartt grew to one of the leading brands within the European Streetwear scene.
Today, Carhartt is known for a supreme collection and its dedicated support of upcoming artists, musicians, skateboarders and BMX riders.
With an own skate and BMX team, the support of internationally recognised events such as the Rebel Jam and the European Skateboard Championships, and the collaborative work with recognised artists – Carhartt is present in many different subcultures but still sticking to the core idea of providing innovative design and exceptional standards of quality, durability and comfort.
