How to Choose the Right Carhartt Gear
Here’s what to look for when picking the best Carhartt kit for your trade, season, or setup:
1. Jackets Built for Weather
Look for Storm Defender® or Rain Defender® coating. These canvas or insulated jackets keep you dry and shielded from wind, with triple-stitch seams and thermal lining for backup.
2. Work Trousers That Move With You
Rugged Flex® trousers give you kneeling space and stretch. Choose models with knee pad pockets, reinforced cuffs, or hammer loops depending on your day-to-day tasks.
3. Layered Hoodies & Basewear
For autumn jobs or layering up under jackets, fleece-lined hoodies and heavyweight cotton tees give you breathable insulation with site-ready toughness.

Carhartt FAQs: Sizing, Durability & Site Use
Is Carhartt workwear actually suitable for trade sites?
Yes — Carhartt was built for jobsite use. The UK line stocked by ITS is trade-rated, not fashion. Jackets and trousers are made for kneeling, loading, carrying and layering through site shifts.
What’s the difference between Carhartt and Carhartt WIP?
Carhartt WIP is a fashion version — it looks similar, but isn’t designed for tools, grit or site abuse. ITS.co.uk only stocks the authentic trade-level Carhartt Workwear line.
Is the sizing generous or tight?
Most Carhartt gear is cut roomy to allow layering and movement. If you’re between sizes, go down for a close fit or up if wearing thermals or hoodies underneath.
Is Carhartt waterproof or water-resistant?
Look for terms like Rain Defender® or Storm Defender® in the product name — these are coated for water resistance or full waterproofing depending on model.
Why is Carhartt more expensive than other gear?
Because it lasts. Triple-stitched seams, premium canvas, and trade-level builds mean less replacing. Carhartt gear is a longer-term investment for daily use and harsh conditions.
