Carhartt WIP Mens Gilets

Born from the original Carhartt brand, Carhartt WIP has become an iconic name in the world of streetwear, offering a range of versatile styles like Carhartt WIP vests. Hamilton Carhartt founded his eponymous label in 1889 to provide American workers with durable, protective gear under the motto of “honest value for an honest dollar.” American heritage became ingrained in Carhartt’s brand ethos, even providing uniforms for the U.S. military in World War I and II. 

In the ‘80s and ‘90s, Carhartt’s commitment to reliable, high-quality clothing began to gain popularity in skate and streetstyle subcultures. Carhartt WIP was launched as a streetwear-inspired take on Carhartt’s workwear aesthetic, but the original brand foundations still hold true. 

Carhartt WIP vests are ideal for transeasonal wear, like the Carhartt WIP Skyton vest. Expertly combining style and practicality, it’s made from sustainable recycled polyester with a quilted pattern.
