Carhartt was originally known as a workwear company and still has a firm tradition and reputation for manufacturing hard-wearing quality goods. The company was formed way back in 1889 as a family owned business, which is the way it has stayed right up until the present day. In recent years the company has diversified its output, design and manufacturing to create a range of Carhartt menswear that is much more fashion influenced. The collection includes several styles of Carhartt T-Shirts, shirts, hoodies and Carhartt pants. The company continues to manufacture its own goods across North America and Europe to ensure the high standards of finish that its customers have come to expect.
