Refining the Core
For Spring/Summer 2026, Carhartt WIP sharpens its identity by refining the core of the brand. Signature workwear and outdoor styles are reworked with fresh influences, blending mid-century silhouettes with easy, summer-ready pieces.
Heritage Staples
Iconic styles remain central to the collection. The OG Double Knee Pant, Active Jacket, and Detroit Jacket return in a classic palette of Hamilton Brown, black, green, blue, and teal. Select pieces are treated with a subtly distressed stone canvas wash, while oversized lumberjack checks and hunting-inspired outerwear, including the Prescott Coat, reinforce the brand’s American outdoor heritage.
Texture and Wear
A strong focus on texture runs throughout the season. Exclusive distressed washes are applied to colored denim, twill, and ripstop fabrics. New fabrications emerge, including a bleached hickory stripe used on key items such as the Mercer Pant and chore coat.
Mid-Century Influence
A 1950s-inspired narrative introduces steely blues and soft grays across boxy collared shirts and back-adjustable trousers. The new Belmar Jacket modernizes the classic Type 2 denim jacket with functional chore pockets at the chest. Pattern play comes through a laser-cut camo snake print, featured on jackets, shirts, and trousers.
High Summer Ease
As the season progresses, the collection shifts toward a more relaxed feel. Short-sleeved shirts and shorts appear in a neutral khaki and beige palette, highlighted in styles like the Postal Jacket and matching shorts. Lightweight textures, including space-dye fabrics and piqué structures, add a final layer of detail suited to peak summer wear.
