Carhartt WIP Icons: Spring/Summer 2026

Icons are defined by their ability to stand the test of time. They endure – not just physically, but culturally too. They live on in our collective memory, transcending geographies and generations.

Carhartt WIP Icons have stayed true to their decades-long, utilitarian origins. Over the years, these styles may fade and fray; eventually replaced by newer iterations, in unseen colors and fabrics. Their form, however, stays solid; details instantly recognizable and unchanged.

The Michigan Coat continues to bear its typical four-pocket configuration. The Detroit Jacket is still characterized by its waist-length, zipped front and zipped chest pocket. The Double Knee Pant maintains its signature double-layer knees, tool pockets and hammer loop. For Spring/Summer 2026, these signature styles appear in new shades of dusky turquoise, green and mauve, offset by long-standing core shades of Hamilton Brown, black and navy.

But our Icon styles also give rise to new adaptations; a starting point for exploration and evolution. The Women’s Maeve Skirt nods to our Double Knee Pant through its panelling and metal rivets; the Clapton Jacket has a silhouette inspired by our Michigan Coat, updated in nylon canvas with an additional sleeve pocket; and the Women’s Clark Jacket offers a subtly oversized take on the Detroit Jacket – a synthesis of its boxy workwear origins and how these jackets are worn today.

Carhartt WIP Spring/Summer 2026 Icons are available now at select global retailers, Carhartt WIP stores, carhartt-wip.com and the Carhartt WIP App.

About Carhartt Work In Progress

Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) develops its own collections based on original Carhartt workwear. The brand combines authentic adaptations of these robust American archetypes, while engaging with the subcultures that have embraced it. This, in turn, has seen Carhartt WIP place itself in a new context and bring forth its own classics.

Carhartt WIP opened its first store in London in 1997 and today operates over 80 brick and mortar locations worldwide. It also has its own skate team and music department, while supporting an array of artists and releasing various in-house publications. Since 2010, Carhartt WIP has worked with a number of like-minded collaborators, including A.P.C., Converse, Fragment Design, Junya Watanabe, Nike, Underground Resistance, and Motown.
