Carhartt, Inc.
 PROFILE
Carhartt is all business. Founded in 1889, the clothing manufacturer offers a line of rugged overalls, flame-resistant work wear, outerwear, sweatshirts, sportswear, and work pants favored by farmers and blue-collar workers. Teens and young adults, however, have adopted Carhartt clothes as streetwear; its clothes have shown up in such movies as "Mercury Rising" and "Men in Black". Carhartt also has a line of T-shirts and jeans for workers in warmer weather. Authorized retailers sell Carhartt's apparel in the US, Europe, and Japan. The family of founder Hamilton Carhartt owns the firm. Carhartt has discountinued its line of hunting clothing, a decision it maintains does not reflect a position regarding the sport.
