Carhartt WIP is the European arm of the Carhartt brand. Since 1989, Carhartt had been famous for producing some of the best workwear money could buy, and producing durable garments out of 'duck' canvas. In the '80s, graffiti artists started to wear the Carhartt brand during cold nights to carry all of their gear. In 1997, Carhartt WIP (Work in Progress) was born. Pieces were made especially for the street wear market inspired by the graffiti artists, with slimmer cuts & fresher styling, but everything still had to go through a quality check by Carhartt HQ in the US to make sure the Carhartt ethos was upheld.
The motto of Carhartt "Work In Progress" reflects a determination to succeed, which has seen the brand rise from its modest beginnings to become a globally recognised streetwear label. Carhartt T shirts and work shirts are modern classics, featuring heritage colours and exquisite printing. The brand has remained true to its roots, producing clothing of exceptional durability and style which is capable of transitioning seamlessly from the workplace to the street.
In addition, the Carhartt clothes brand have also achieved a worldwide following in the artistic and alternative sporting communities. Professional skateboarders and BMX riders count amongst their fans, and Carhartt clothing has been worn by celebrities, artists and musicians around the world.
As the brand’s European distribution network, Work in Progress strives to remain true to the core values originally set out by Hamilton Carhartt in 1889.
