About Carhartt

Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) develops its own collections based on the original Carhartt workwear. The brand combines authentic adaptations of these robust American archetypes, while engaging with the subcultures that have embraced it.

Do Carhartt WIP garments need to be washed before being worn for the first time?

Because we treat our garments with color, we recommend washing any item before wearing it for the first time. Please check the individual washing instructions for each item. This does not apply to rigid or rinsed denim pants.

Please note that untreated and unwashed pants require special care. Denim should be washed as little as possible to avoid shrinking and fading. If you purchase denim pants, avoid washing them for the first 9-12 months. However, if necessary, you can find tips under the section, “How should garments be washed.”

How should garments be washed?

Every item of clothing includes a label with specific care instructions. The recommended temperature should not be exceeded, but it is fine to wash items at a lower temperature than indicated. We suggest hanging or laying items flat to dry.

Rigid / Rinsed Denim

Always wash inside out
Wash separately from other garments
Leave in a bath of cold water with mild liquid detergent for about 30 minutes
Gently stir before finishing to remove deposits
Hang to dry

Rigid pants may bleed heavily if mishandled, as we use indigo, a natural dye. Keep these pants away from light-colored objects, furniture, and clothing. You can soak the pants in household vinegar for a few hours to help maintain the color.

Wool

We recommend washing wool garments by hand, as they may be too delicate even for washing machines with a gentle hand wash function.

What kind of leather does Carhartt WIP use for its products?

We only use leather sourced as a byproduct of farm animals that are reared for their meat. We do not use leather from endangered species.

Does Carhartt WIP use down produced using live plucking methods?

We only use down as a byproduct of farm animals reared for their meat. We do not support or condone live plucking procedures.

Is real fur used in the fur trimmings on jackets?

Our fur trimmings are made using faux fur.
