Carhartt men's

Pre-owned Carhartt men's jackets, trousers and hoodies, from Active and Detroit jackets and chore coats to carpenter and double-knee trousers.

Jackets

The Active jacket has an attached hood and rib-knit cuffs and hem, the Detroit jacket has a corduroy collar and a blanket or flannel lining, and the chore coat has patch pockets and mostly a button front. Most are made from cotton duck canvas, which softens and fades with wear. Each model has its own page, Active jackets, Detroit jackets and chore coats, and all models are on the Carhartt jackets page.

Trousers

Double-knee trousers have a second layer of fabric over the knees, and carpenter trousers have a hammer loop and tool pockets on the leg. Trousers are sized as waist by inseam in inches, for example 34x32, and are on the Carhartt work trousers page.

Hoodies, jumpers and T-shirts

Carhartt hoodies are made from cotton-blend fleece, with a drawstring hood and a kangaroo pocket. The best-known Carhartt T-shirt is the K87, a heavyweight cotton T-shirt with a chest pocket, and the T-shirts have their own page, Carhartt T-shirts.

Size and measurements

Carhartt cuts its clothing generously, so it can be worn over other layers, and the letter on the label is a rough guide. Jackets and tops are measured at four points: across the chest from armpit to armpit, the length of the body, across the shoulders and the length of the sleeve. The method is explained in the guide to measuring pit to pit, and the Carhartt sizing guide covers sizing by measurement.

Items for women have their own page, Carhartt women's, and the European line has its own as well, Carhartt WIP men's. The full range is on the Carhartt page, the Carhartt guide covers the brand and Carhartt or Carhartt WIP explains the two companies.

Frequently asked questions

Does Carhartt run large?

Carhartt is cut generously, to be worn over other layers. Measurements differ within one size, so the measurements in the description are a better guide than the letter on the label.

What is the difference between Carhartt and Carhartt WIP?

Carhartt is the American workwear company. Carhartt WIP is a separate European company that uses the name under licence, and on its label Carhartt WIP is written out in full.

What are double-knee trousers?

Double-knee trousers are work trousers with a second layer of fabric over the front of the knees. Carhartt calls this construction double front.
