CARHARTT. A VISION OF EXCELLENCE. A man of his times. The year was 1889, the Dakotas had just earned statehood, the Land Rush was on, and Americans were gearing up to build a nation. It was during this time of unprecedented expansion that Hamilton Carhartt discovered a need for premium workwear. Workwear, he envisioned, should be as rugged and reliable as the man who wears it. My workwear, he was proud to boast, will be the best a man can buy. With that dream in mind, he laid down a set of guidelines. Guidelines for the construction of maximum quality workwear. Workwear that would be stronger and more durable. That was over four generations ago, yet the vision continues. Today Carhartt clothing still sets industry standards for quality, toughness and durability. It still leads the way in comfort. It protects like no other ever has. From coats to jackets, bibs to overalls...if the apparel carries the name Carhartt, the performance will be legendary. Carhartt - Original Equipment for the American Worker.
