CARHART VINTAGE
Similar to the Dickies brand, Carhartt also has a lot of vintage treasures to offer, because the brand has existed since 1889. Just like Dickies, this brand also initially specializes in the production of robust workwear, especially worker overalls made of hemp linen and denim dungarees, and was initially only known in America before eventually expanding to Europe and making a name for itself there.
Canvas - Carhartt's trademark
The strong and hard-wearing fabric of the clothing is referred to as so-called canvas and represents the trademark of Carhartt. Quality, resilience, longevity and durability are Carhartt's top priorities and these aspects are the focus of the production of the clothing.
From working class label to streetwear - Carhartt work in progress
Nowadays we know quite a few products from Carhartt in Vintage Clothing. While rugged work pants and carpenters are still a distinctive part of Carhartt's product range and trademarks, Carhartt is expanding its product range - we now find jackets, sweaters, cargo pants and even accessories such as belts, socks, beanies and hats. How does such an established workwear brand diversify into streetwear with its products? In addition to workwear, Carhartt has also been producing streetwear collections since 1994 under the name "Carhartt Work In Progress" - an area that is aimed more at young people and their leisure fashion - for example skaters, BmX riders. arhartt work in progress even launched its own magazine, 'Rugged', which covered topics such as skating, BMX, fashion and music and was available for free in Carhartt stores. Later, Carhartt also became involved as a sponsor for these sports and supports the youth in their careers, because today Carhartt is a sponsor of the FFA. Carhartt also became popular in the hip-hop scene, where he was well received by well-known rappers such as Dr. Dre and Eazy-E worn.
Thus, in addition to Dickies, Carhartt is now also addressing a completely different target group in addition to the working-class generation - the youth - and the brand manages this perfectly with clothing in a sporty, casual look!
Carhartt clothing - minimalist and casual
Carhartt clothes focus less on striking looks, prints, variety and bright colors - they are more convincing in a simple style. The pants are mainly in beige, brown, grey, olive green or black and convince with loving details such as patches and sewn-in pads. T-shirts, on the other hand, come in fresh summer colors like orange or green. In addition, the classic Carhartt logo in orange and lettering is always unmistakably emblazoned on the garments, which somehow has a retro vibe about it. It quickly becomes clear: Carhartt clothing does not keep up with the times or fashion, but has been presenting a simple design for years of production, which, however, meets all quality requirements, embodies many years of tradition and radiates casualness and sportiness for young people. Carhartt baggy pants or cargo pants are particularly popular with the younger generation.
