Carhartt was originally founded in Killeen, TX to make work clothing for railroad workers. Their initial growth throughout the 1890s was focused on railroad workers' need for durable and long lasting work overalls. Over time, Carhartt clothing items evolved trademark features intended to further extend durability, including the use of heavy duty threads, reinforcing rivets at vital stress points, and a variety of durable, high technology materials resistant to flames, abrasion and water. Today, Carhartt clothing is commonly found on construction sites, farms and ranches, among other job sites.
When to wear it: Any casual setting in Texas. No matter where you live (from the nicest neighborhood in Dallas to the most remote ranch in the panhandle), you can wear it doing yard work, hauling brush, hunting, fishing, doing shopping on a Saturday morning, or taking your kids on a walk in the park.
What style to get: Start with the classic jacket pictured above and progress to hoods and baggier fits as neccessary.
