FAQs

What is Carhartt WIP clothing?

Carhartt WIP (Work In Progress), launched in 1994, is a modern offshoot of the 1889 Carhartt brand. It adapts traditional workwear using 12oz cotton and relaxed fits, merging durability with streetwear style and is popular in urban subcultures.

Is Carhartt WIP clothing worth the price?

At prices between £50 and £150, Carhartt WIP clothing justifies its cost with features such as 450g/m² fabrics, triple-stitched durability (over 30,000 rub resistance), and a lifespan of 5–10 years. It is a solid investment for both quality and versatility.

How does Carhartt WIP clothing fit?

Carhartt WIP clothing offers a relaxed, boxy fit. For example, jackets like the Detroit are designed to run large (approximately 2cm wider at the chest). It is advisable to check the sizing guides and consider sizing down for a snug fit or layering up for colder days.

Are Carhartt WIP jackets waterproof?

Most Carhartt WIP jackets, such as the Active Jacket, are made from water-repellent cotton duck (12oz). They resist light rain but are not fully waterproof—applying wax or pairing with a rain shell is recommended for heavy downpours.

How do I wash Carhartt WIP clothing?

Machine-wash Carhartt WIP clothing at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. It is best to air-dry jeans and jackets to preserve the 450g/m² denim and stitching integrity; avoid tumble drying.

Which celebrities wear Carhartt WIP clothing?

Celebrities such as Paul Mescal have been seen wearing the Detroit Jacket, Gigi Hadid has rocked an Awake NY collab varsity jacket, Kendall Jenner opts for classic designs, and Stray Kids’ I.N pairs it casually – all of which highlight the brand's streetwear credibility.

Is Carhartt WIP clothing good for outdoor use?

Yes, with features such as Cordura®-reinforced trousers (500g/m²) and wind-resistant jackets, Carhartt WIP clothing is suitable for light outdoor tasks. Although it is more urban-focused, it handles mild trails and campsite wear well.
