Carhartt WIP Spring/Summer 2026 Collection
The Spring/Summer 2026 collection refines Carhartt WIP’s signature Dearborn Canvas and denim styles, combining rugged outdoor influences with references to 50s archetypes, while exploring new takes on prep and uniform-inspired silhouettes.
As ever, the collection features classic Carhartt WIP icons – such as our OG Double Knee Pant, OG Active Jacket, and Detroit Jacket – rendered in a core palette of Hamilton Brown and black, with shades of green, blue, and teal in subtly worn-in, ‘stone canvas’ finishes. Echoing Americana and heritage outdoor styles, these appear alongside oversized, lumberjack checks and hunting-inspired jackets, such as the Prescott Coat, which combines a contemporary car coat shape with large hunting pockets.
Inspired by the natural patina of archival items, the season also emphasizes faded treatments and unique washes, applied to colored denim, twill, ripstop, and cotton waffle. These are complemented by a new bleached hickory stripe fabric, seen in pieces like the Mercer Single Knee Pant and Women’s Mercer Chore Coat.
The collection takes a mid-century turn, with contemporary interpretations of 50s mod archetypes, where boxy collared shirts and cinch-back work pants are rendered in steely blues and greys. Additionally, the collection introduces the Belmar Jacket, which retains classic ‘Type 2’ denim jacket details, such as stitched pleats, donut shank buttons, and a back cinch adjuster, while updating the design with our signature chore pockets on the chest. Meanwhile, nature-inspired elements emerge in a new laser-printed ‘camo snake’ pattern, which appears across jackets, pants, short-sleeve shirts and accessories.
At the height of summer, the collection combines loose-fitting silhouettes across short-sleeve shirts and shorts, with a neutral palette of khaki and beige – illustrated by the Postal Jacket and Postal Double Knee Short. Color and texture continue to define the collection, through allover print poplin shirts, lightweight space-dye knits, and piqué structures.
The Spring/Summer 2026 collection will be available at select global retailers, Carhartt WIP stores, carhartt-wip.com and the Carhartt WIP App.

Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, Carhartt WIP (Work In Progress) 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 locations worldwide. It also has its own skate team and music department, while supporting a slew of artists and releasing various in-house publications.
