What began as a family-owned business making work clothes for railroad workers has now become one of the most popular brands of work wear worldwide. Hamilton Carhartt began this now infamous clothing company, back in 1889 in a small Michigan town called Dearborn. While the headquarters remain, production of the company’s work shirts, footwear, jackets, coats, coveralls, overalls, hats, and protective clothing, has broadened into Europe, Canada, and Japan, amongst other countries. The company is still family owned after over 100 years.

Carhartt even began offering a full line of work-wear clothing and products for women and kids as well as upscale street wear. Carhartt products come in extra-large sizes for the big and tall.

With all of the different brands of work wear on the market, what has made Carhartt one of the most trusted brands? All of Carhartt’s products are not only durable, but also comfortable. Each product is crafted with heavy-duty threads, and is resistant to flame and water. While getting heavy-duty clothing to protect you when you need it, you are also getting clothing that comes stylishly designed, made for comfort throughout the day. All of the clothing features several pockets designed to hold everything you need, as well as heavy-duty zippers, and moisture and odor blockers.

The footwear offered from Carhartt is some of the most comfortable around. If your job is on a construction site, in the fire department, or in a factory, wearing a pair of Carhartt boots will have your feet thanking you. Boots are available with steel, soft, or safety toes, come insulated, and of course, are waterproof.

Kid’s wear comes in sizes from baby to 14, in designs for both boys and girls. Made from the same quality as the adult clothing, the children’s line offers shirts, pants, outerwear, and accessories.

Footwear is available with steel, soft, or safety toes, and the soles are customized to specific job functions to ensure you are getting the support and comfort where you need it the most. Boots are made for everyone in the family, boots can be casual or dressy, and are available in many different styles for work and weekend.

The Carhartt Flame Resistant line of products is specially designed work electricians, utility, and other workers who can be exposed to fire. All of the products in this line meet OSHA standards.

Distributed in Europe, the streetwear collections include shirts, jeans, jackets, and accessories. The street wear collection features works of upcoming artists, musicians, and skateboarders. With the Carhartt name attached, rest assured you are getting quality.

Carhartt products will go far beyond meeting your expectations. Products are built to last, and they do just that. Prices are reasonable, and considering all of the added benefits of this clothing, more than worth the price you will pay. Products can be found at one of the thousands of Carhartt retail stores around the world as well as the company’s website, through mail order, and many retailers in store and on line.
