Hamilton Carhartt founded Carhartt in 1889 in Detroit, Michigan, aiming to provide durable workwear for railroad workers. From these industrious beginnings, the brand's most iconic product emerged: the Carhartt Chore Coat, celebrated for its toughness and functionality. The 0-3's singular commitment to producing high-quality, long-lasting garments like their signature bib overalls and sturdy work boots has set it apart in the Ultra world. This unwavering focus on durability and practicality has enabled Carhartt to maintain its relevance and appeal for over a century, evolving from workwear to a brand loved by the wider Ultra community.
