Carhartt WIP Spring/Summer 2026 Collection Preview
The Spring/Summer 2026 preview collection from Carhartt WIP reflects the gradual shift out of winter into the warmer months, with a focus on raw and washed denim pieces, overdyed jersey and canvas, and heritage-style outerwear.
This season, denim becomes a blank canvas for exploration, emerging in a myriad of washes, tones, and blends. Classic, rigid denim remains a cornerstone, applied to styles like the double-layer Women’s OG Arctic Jacket and men’s OG Double Knee Pant.
The collection also introduces a grind-wash denim, which offers a faded, worn-in look, which has been created by hand. Additionally, a hybrid polycotton denim, applied to Tigan Shirt Jacket and Women’s Louis Shirt Jacket, takes cues from industrial uniforms, and features a semi-lustrous, rigid finish with contrasting white topstitching.
Canvas and jersey pieces also appear in an array of washes, executed in dusky shades of burgundy, brown, and gray. These are complemented by tactile flannel shirts in earth-tone checks.
Meanwhile, outerwear references heritage silhouettes, such as the Adair Coat, which is inspired by a traditional fireman jacket and bears metal clip detailing, and the Shepton Jacket, which nods to a classic B-6 flight jacket.
The Spring/Summer 2026 preview collection will be available at Carhartt WIP stores and selected retailers, as well as carhartt-wip.com and the Carhartt WIP App.

fdecarlo@carhartt-wip.comAbout Carhartt Work In Progress
Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) is a clothing brand that adapts and modifies the core products of the pioneering American workwear brand Carhartt to create its own collections. Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, the brand’s audience is just as likely to associate its iconic yellow C motif with late 90s hip hop videos or skate clips, as they are with factories or manual labor. This distinction is key in defining what Carhartt WIP does. Carhartt WIP engages with different cultural spheres: from Detroit and Berlin’s symbiotic techno scenes, to skateboarding and its communities that span Paris, New York, and Seoul, to the contemporary art world. The brand channels these influences, representing the culture which has formed around it. This can be seen and felt in its collections, its imagery, and its choice of partners and collaborators. Today, Carhartt WIP operates over 100 brick and mortar retail stores across Europe, Asia, and the US, as well as working with select wholesale clients.
