Carhartt Work In Progress is a clothing brand that modifies the core Carhartt workwear line to build its own collections. Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh and based in Weil am Rhein, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, it positions itself at the crossroads of workwear heritage and street-style culture. It engages with diverse cultural communities—from Detroit and Berlin's techno scenes to skateboarding and contemporary art—and reflects these influences in its imagery and collaborations. The brand operates more than 100 stores across Europe, Asia, and the US and also works with select wholesale partners. Carhartt Workwear remains a separate entity with headquarters in the USA, underscoring the organizational distinction between the WIP label and traditional Carhartt. In 2026, Carhartt WIP released its Fall/Winter 2026 Preview Collection, signaling ongoing product development and seasonal storytelling.
