The Carhartt Heritage Line | Fall / Winter 2011
New to FUSShop for Autumn / Winter 2011 is the Carhartt Heritage Line, dedicated to Carhartt’s long history as a reputable workwear brand. Made of classic materials and colours to create that authentic vintage look and feel. This effect is made possible by special vintage washings and dyes only available in the Heritage line.
The first delivery has arrived, with more expected very soon. So far we have the Founders Sweat, Founder T-Shirt & Heritage Overalls Sweat.
The vintage-style yarn sweaters and t-shirts from the Heritage Line are made from slub yarn; a special yarn produced using traditional methods. The soft, thick nubs of the yarn appear as irregularities in the woven fabric, giving it a distinctive knitted surface and retro impression.
Hems and seams are stitched in time-honored fashion, employing the same patterns and methods used fifty years ago.
The Heritage Overalls Sweat (below) is made from classic materials and printed with traditional ink for authentic character. Using a new printing process combined with traditional textile ink recreates the appearance of vintage prints. This way, prints are fused into the fabric and don’t have the rubbery shine of modern designs.
All prints are reproductions of original graphics that honour the legacy of Carhartt Inc. workwear.
