The History of Carhartt
Hamilton Carhartt & Company was founded in 1889 by its namesake, affectionately known as Ham, who began making work overalls with just two sewing machines and a half-horsepower electric motor in a small attic in Detroit.
After several initial failures, Hamilton decided to focus on market research. Speaking directly with railroad workers, he designed a product that truly met their needs. With the motto “An honest value for an honest dollar,” the Carhartt overalls were born, quickly establishing themselves as the standard for quality workwear.
By 1910, Carhartt had grown and had factories in Georgia and South Carolina, as well as sewing facilities in cities like Atlanta, Detroit, Dallas, and San Francisco. The international expansion began with facilities in Walkerville (Ontario), Toronto, Vancouver, and Liverpool, followed by a center in Paris and an office and workshop in New York.
During times of conflict, Carhartt showed its support for the nation. During World War I, it offered seven of its factories to the government to produce uniforms for the U.S. Army. In World War II, the company produced coveralls for soldiers and support staff, camouflage uniforms for Marines in the Pacific, and workwear for women working in factories on the home front.
Today, many items in Carhartt’s line still have historical roots. Their archive includes advertisements for the famous Carhartt Chore Coat, dating back to 1917, which, surprisingly, has changed very little since then.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Carhartt became popular beyond manual workers, especially when hip-hop figures began wearing its clothing. This sparked interest in Europe, and in 1989, the Carhartt Work In Progress label was created.
Currently, Carhartt operates in the United States and Europe, with its European headquarters in Amsterdam, and employs over 3,000 people worldwide.
