Progress Makes Icons
Carhartt WIP Icons are a record of continuity. Pieces largely unchanged from the American archetypes they were adapted from over a century ago.
You know them by their construction: 12 oz cotton Dearborn Canvas or sturdy denim. Triple stitching. Metal rivets. Debossed shank buttons and zippers. Hamilton Brown and black remain core colorways with each collection. For Fall/Winter 2026, the palette expands with ‘tobacco’ and ‘dark navy’, in both rinsed and rigid finishes – one softer from the start, one that breaks in over time. Each Icon carries a set of hallmarks that make it distinct.
Detroit Jacket
Inspired by a classic garage jacket, the Detroit Jacket is cut slightly shorter in the body, sitting at the belt line. The details: a zipped front, a corduroy collar, and two welt pockets, plus a signature zipped chest pocket.
Michigan Coat
The Michigan Coat draws on the classic chore coat, a shape with a storied history. The hallmarks are all there: a corduroy collar, triple stitching, and a buttoned front, plus three patch pockets and a button-flap chest pocket.
Active Jacket
Introduced over 50 years ago, the Active Jacket took its shape from the Hooded Zip Sweatshirt, rebuilt with a reinforced exterior and insulated lining. First made in denim and later in Dearborn Canvas, its drawstring hood, kangaroo pockets, and zipped front carry through today.

Double Knee Pant
The Double Knee Pant is directly adapted from an archival work pant. You’ll see it in the construction details: reinforced knee paneling with metal rivets, multiple tool pockets, and a hammer loop. This was the blueprint for our Single Knee and Simple Pants.
Classic Vest
The Classic Vest borrows its kangaroo pockets and zipped front from the Active Jacket, adding a rib-knit collar and subtle drop-tail hem. It works as a standalone piece or a mid-layer, depending on the season.
These pieces have passed through generations and subcultures, adapted without losing their outline. Each has endured. The blueprints remain. What changes is what every wearer adds: every wrinkle, fade, and crease. Broken in, or worn out. Because progress makes Icons.
