Carhartt WIP

About Carhartt WIP

Carhartt WIP, short for Work In Progress, is the European line of the American workwear company Carhartt, whose story starts in 1889 when Hamilton Carhartt made hard-wearing gear for railway workers and servicemen. The WIP side was established in Germany and adapts those workwear patterns for a contemporary fit. Expect heavy duck canvas, triple stitching and big pockets, cut a bit looser than the originals. The label grew out of art, music and skate scenes, and the Detroit jacket is one you'll spot everywhere. Look for the golden C or the American Script branding. As Oi Polloi puts it, built for site work, mostly worn for the walk from Piccadilly.
