A modernised iteration of the original Carhartt brand, Carhartt WIP is renowned for creating practical yet effortless wardrobe staples. Carhartt was founded in 1889 with the mission to create reliable gear for American workers, and even made uniforms for U.S. soldiers in World War I and II. Throughout its more than 130 years of history, the brand continues to live by its ethos of “honest value for an honest dollar.”
In the ‘80s and ‘90s, Carhartt’s fanbase expanded outside blue collar workers, and became ingrained in the worlds of skating and hip hop. Carhartt WIP (which stands for Work In Progress) was born in 1989 and has firmly cemented its status as a streetwear icon. Carhartt WIP shirts hold steadfast to the brand’s workwear-inspired aesthetic of the original men’s Carhartt shirts, creating a rugged yet refined look.
Explore long-sleeved Carhartt WIP shirts, like the Bolton Shirt, for elevated everyday wear. This style is crafted from pure cotton with a practical button down collar. For transeasonal wardrobe staples, shop Carhartt WIP shirts with short sleeves, like the Delray Vacation Shirt, ideal for warm weather holidays.
