CARHARTT- WORK IN PROGRESS (WIP)

Over the past 120, Carhartt WIP has established itself as a world-renowned brand. Respected and highly recommended for its durability in the working class America, many claims that overalls, coats and jeans look the same they did from over twenty years ago.Founded by Hamilton Carhartt WIP in Detroit USA, the brand begun a transition of identity as the "chore jacket" a four-pocketed hard as nails workman coat started appearing on the streets and shortly after rappers started wearing them. Because of this, Carhartt WIP became cool and clothing stores started importing them into Europe.

So what divides Carhartt Work In Progress and just plain old Carhartt? Well, Carhartt remains to be known for work clothes most commonly found around construction sites in the USA. With proof of demand in Europe after the Chore jacket, a deal was made to manufacture Carhartt branded clothing outside the US market and Work In Progress was born.Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) is a European adaptation of the original take on the workman wear that was created one hundred years after the original with a German denim entrepreneur Edwin Faeh. WIP uses the work wear theme and high quality as a starting point but reworks a svelte style with slim fit trousers and names like "Sid pants" that stop at 38 inches rather than 52. There's a more all-around tailored cut, softer linings with a women's collection that's on point too.

They've continued to mix in with the streetwear vibe that European skaters are hip into and have their own skate and BMX team. WIP has only recently been debuted stateside and is continuing to grow in popularity. Thanks to its legacy, Carhartt WIP continues to give us all classics with the highest quality.

Carhartt – Work in Progress

Setting a new standard for classic streetwear, Carhartt WIP took Europe by storm in 1994 thanks to Edwin Faeh. He was the brain behind Carhartt WIP and with a collection of American workwear inspired products he provided something no one else at that time was. The first rugged, clean and stylish collection laid the groundwork for the streetwear giant to gain their foothold in Europe.The first flagship store opened in London in 1997, closely followed by the establishment of the Carhartt WIP skateboard team. Limited supply and sky rocketing demand made getting your hands on anything from a t-shirt, hoodie, or pair of slacks quite the feat in those days. Building the company slowly but surely, Edwin Faeh made sure to keep his eyes and ears on the ground. Catering to the young, wild and free, Carhartt WIP was soon, and still is, represented in skate shops and skate parks all across Europe.

Sid versus Cargo

When it comes to shorts, pants, and dungarees, Carhartt WIP caters just as much to the skater boys and girls as they do the average hipster. Classic styles such as the Sid and the Cargo have been around since inception and aren't about to go out of style any time soon. Made from sturdy fabrics, these garments are made to stand the test of time and if you ask us, a little wear and tear is what gives them their true charm.

Something for the noggin

Often it takes an accessory to really finish off an outfit. The classic Carhartt WIP square logo lends itself perfectly to 5- and 6-panel caps, as well as folded beanies and the odd fisher hat. Whether you are keeping your head warm or protecting yourself from the sun, you are bound to find something to your liking in the Carhartt WIP headwear treasure chest.

A wonderful blend of music and fashion

Building the brand from the ground up, there was nothing pushing or pulling it in a certain direction. It was allowed to develop organically. As Carhartt WIP gained traction on the streets, it's no surprise that the music industry followed. What started out as an evolution into hip-hop, has now developed into its own world of Carhartt Music. A big part of what they do is supporting up-and-coming artists, who need that little extra push to be seen or heard. Boy, do we have a lot to thank them for – if it weren't for Carhartt WIP, we all might never have heard of musical giants such as Aloe Blacc.
