Hamilton Carhartt

 

Hamilton Carhartt was an unusual man for his time. Some would call him forward thinking, a visionary. In 1889, when horse & cart ruled the road and trains still ran on steam, Hamilton Carhartt was already thinking about the working man. His concept? Work clothes that were designed specifically to make working better. To that end Hamilton started talking with railroad workers about what they needed in work clothes. From that personal research, Carhartt bib overalls were born.


Hamilton didn’t stop there, as business expanded, he added more plants in areas that needed jobs and by 1910 Carhartt had grown with mills across the U.S. and Canada as well as facilities in New York and Paris. Carhartt, paid a decent wage, considered worker safety and allowed his employees to unionize. All at a time when these things were the exception and not the norm.
