While Carhartt had its inception in 1889, its Edwin Faeh-founded ‘Work In Progress’ line of clothing was founded over a century later in 1994, with a focus on bringing authentic American designs to a European market. All designed with old workwear in mind, these durable and super high quality pieces were reimagined for a more urban environment.
