Carhartt is an iconic American brand renowned for its durable workwear designed to withstand the harshest environments. Founded in 1889 by Hamilton Carhartt in Detroit, Michigan, the company originally specialized in producing tough denim and duck canvas overalls for railroad workers. Over the decades, Carhartt has transitioned from a purely industrial supplier to a global fashion staple, embraced by both manual laborers and streetwear enthusiasts for its functional and resilient aesthetic.

While the brand holds a strong identity rooted in the United States, its manufacturing operations are global. The company maintains its own factories in the United States (specifically in Kentucky and Tennessee) and Mexico, where many of its classic items are produced. However, to meet global demand, a significant portion of its broader product line—including technical jackets like the Montana series—is manufactured through a network of partner factories across Asia and Central America. Carhartt remains a privately held, family-owned business, with the descendants of Hamilton Carhartt still at the helm, ensuring the brand maintains its legacy of craftsmanship and quality into the modern era.
