Take a minute to imagine that Barack Obama, a millennial skateboarder, a rapper, and a salt-of-the-earth blue-collar worker are all standing side-by-side in the same room.
Now try to put aside your curiosity about the kind of conversation they’d be having and close your eyes for a minute.
In your own imagination, do you see them all to wearing the same brand of clothing?
I didn’t think so. But maybe you should. Because each group has previously been won over by Carhartt’s rugged made-in-America appeal.
What Is Carhartt?
Carhartt’s first ever slogan says a lot about the vision that founder Hamilton Carhartt had for the company he founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1889.
After a few early failures, Hamilton honed in on making a bib overall specifically for railroad workers. It caught on, and the company quickly developed its reputation as the leading maker of quality workwear.
Both the Bib Overall, and the reputation are still standing tall over 130 years later.
While the brand has shown remarkable staying power over five generations and a unique chameleon-like ability to appeal to a wide variety of demographics, its core value of making the very best apparel for the active worker remains central to everything it does.
Ever-evolving, and with its eye on its newly captivated millennial market, Carhartt has recently developed and trademarked new material technologies that feature in both favorites and new pieces alike.
Carhartt is all about making apparel that can withstand the rigor of the rugged outdoors.
So what’d we do for our review? We picked up a bunch of Carhartt gear and wore it on a three-month expedition to the South Pole.
We did the next ‘ruggedest’ (I was pretty surprised to learn that’s actually a word) thing and packed it all for a road trip through Northern California. Our team’s stops included the Redwood Forests and a few stunningly secluded beaches along the West Coast.
