About Us

Welcome to CARHARTT Timeless Styles. Rugged Craftsmanship. Built to Last.

At CARHARTT, we are committed to evolving and exploring new ways to create, blending heavy-duty functional craftsmanship with enduring quality that stands up to real-world use. Founded in 1889 by Hamilton Carhartt in Detroit, Michigan, our brand started with sturdy work clothing built for railroad workers, farmers, builders and labourers, driven by a passion for tough, long-lasting fabrics and reinforced construction that would not tear or wear out quickly.

Hamilton Carhartt spent countless years refining garments to stand up to harsh working conditions, listening closely to working people to understand what they truly needed from their clothing. Every stitch, reinforced seam and panel design he perfected became the signature of CARHARTT. What began as simple work uniforms quickly grew into a brand trusted by generations of hardworking individuals. Today, we have expanded our collection to include iconic work jackets, rugged pants, heavyweight hoodies, durable overalls, shirts, shorts, footwear and a full range of apparel and accessories, all crafted with the same rigorous standards from our founding days.

Our core promise remains unchanged: premium durable raw materials, superior build quality and meticulous artisan workmanship. Our global design team continuously delivers classic yet practical styles for work, outdoor activities and everyday life. Whether you choose our famous Detroit jackets, legendary double-knee work pants, heavy chore coats or signature fleece hoodies, every piece is built to age gracefully. With repeated wear, CARHARTT garments develop a unique patina that grows more characterful over time, accompanying you for years of work, adventure and daily moments.

Privately owned and independent, we keep the original entrepreneurial spirit alive. We believe tough, premium workwear should be accessible for everyone, and great apparel tells your personal story. Our designs balance practical utility and timeless aesthetics, crossing the line between traditional workwear and modern street style. From job sites to city streets, CARHARTT is worn by people who value quality, durability and authenticity. When you wear CARHARTT, you are not just buying clothing — you are holding more than a century of American workwear heritage. Every garment carries our legacy of quality, designed for those who live active, demanding lives.
