Collection: Carhartt WIP

Carhartt WIP Skateboard Apparel

Carhartt Work In Progress represents the successful adaptation of genuine American workwear heritage for skateboarding applications, maintaining the durability and construction quality that made Carhartt legendary among workers while adapting fits and styles for contemporary skateboarding needs. The WIP line demonstrates how heritage brands can enter skateboarding through authentic product adaptation rather than just adding skateboard specific branding to unchanged designs that don't serve actual skating requirements. Carhartt's workwear construction translates naturally to skateboarding because both applications demand durability, freedom of movement, and construction quality that handles physical demands rather than just aesthetic appeal. Skaters appreciate Carhartt WIP for its ability to provide genuine workwear durability in fits and styles that work for skating while maintaining the authentic heritage that separates Carhartt from brands that appropriate workwear aesthetics without understanding functional requirements. The brand appeals to skaters who value authentic heritage and construction quality over fashion trends that compromise durability for style considerations that don't enhance skating performance.
