WIP stands for work in progress, and Carhartt WIP offers a refined and reimagined interpretation of its classic American heritage. WIP was initially launched and distributed in the 1990s with selected versions of original garments tailored specifically for a European market, offering a tailored refining of classics such as slim-fit trousers, overalls and hoodies. Carhartt WIP’s principle function is thus to allow for a modernized aesthetic that establishes a more expansive and progressive outlook on contemporary men’s fashion while emphasizing its distinct, American heritage.
