The Autumn 2019 collection incorporates new techniques and fabrics,
invigorating a selection of much-loved classics. These subtle changes
also have the benefit of reducing each garment’s environmental impact,
without sacrificing the renowned durable qualities of
Carhartt WIP
garments.
This includes their new organic
Dearborn Canvas, which was first
introduced to
Carhartt WIP collections last season. It’s still just as
robust and is created in a 12oz weight. This fabric has also been
through an ageing process that gives each garment a unique, lived-in feel
and leads to richer, more complex hues of canvas.
Additionally, the worn, patina-like effects
Carhartt WIP occasionally apply to their canvas pieces are now executed in a new way. Previously done by hand,
which was laborious, time-consuming work, this process is now done with
lasers, creating the whiskered detailing that we associate with
well-worn
Carhartt WIP pants and jackets.
As well as a selection of work pants and overalls, Autumn 2019 features a
number of outerwear options created in this manner. The
OG Active Jacket,
OG Chore Coat,
OG Detroit Jacket and
OG Arctic Coat have all
been treated in this way. Across these styles you can choose from rinsed
canvas and aged canvas, which has a more rugged finish.
What exactly does the OG signify for each of these product names? Simply
put, they’re boxier and a little more oversized than their non-prefixed
counterparts. They hark back to some of the earliest
Carhartt WIP
collections, when silhouettes were slightly looser. Between this new-old
fit and ageing treatments, these garments carry the appearance of a
cherished piece worn over several years. Except, we’ve already done the
hard work for you.
