Carhartt WIP (Work In Progress) was founded in Europe in 1989 with a simple idea: to bring durable American Carhartt workwear into streetwear and skate and hip-hop culture. At Blue Express, it is one of the most sought-after brands: here are the iconic pieces to know and where to find them in Verona.
The iconic pieces
- Detroit Jacket: the quintessential workwear jacket, made from durable canvas with a contrasting collar. Wear it all year over a sweatshirt.
- Double Knee and Single Knee Trousers: designed for people who work on their knees, with reinforcement at the front. Today they are the ultimate street trousers, comfortable and almost indestructible.
- Acrylic Watch Hat: the beanie with the square logo patch. One of the most recognizable accessories of all.
- Chase Sweatshirts and Logo Hoodies: the foundation of any outfit, with the small embroidered logo.
- Cargo Trousers and Pocket T-Shirts: heavyweight fabrics and simple lines, designed for everyday use.
How to wear Carhartt WIP
The fits are generally comfortable and straight. Trousers such as the Double Knee have a wide cut: if you want a cleaner look, choose your usual size; if you want a looser fit, go one size up. Sweatshirts fit true to size, while jackets leave room to wear a sweatshirt underneath.
How to style them
- Complete workwear: Double Knee trousers, a hoodie and Detroit Jacket, with a Watch Hat beanie.
- Street mix: a Carhartt WIP piece with Levi's or Diesel jeans and an HTC studded belt.
