About Carhartt
Carhartt began making overalls for railway workers in 1889 and its duck canvas jackets are standard on American building sites. The company has resisted redesigning them for the fashion customers who adopted them. Its distinctive brown duck fabric is a cotton canvas woven tightly enough to resist tearing, and the company still makes some garments in its own American factories.
