About Carhartt WIP Clothing & Accessories

Choosing the Right Carhartt WIP Piece

Carhartt WIP’s strength lies in functional design, so think first about use. Need outerwear for colder weather? Look for jackets with quilted linings or water-repellent coatings. For all-season wear, opt for unlined canvas overshirts or lightweight anoraks.

Trousers and shorts are often cut loose for comfort. The Double Knee and Simple Pant styles are designed for movement and carry utility detailing. For a trimmer fit, try slim tapered models like the Sid Pant.

Layering is key — Carhartt WIP shirts and sweats are made to sit well over T-shirts and under outerwear. Choose colours that mix easily: neutral shades in canvas and twill work across the full range. Accessories like hats, belts and bags are designed to match core fabrics and finish the look without clashing.
