After 135 years in business, it’s safe to say Carhartt has identified what makes quality workwear.

GP100: Gear Patrol’s annual roundup of the most important releases collects key watches, cars, outdoor gear and more. Browse the full list or catch up on last year’s winners.

Throughout the generations, the brand has outfitted the men and women that define craftsmanship – so it would only make sense that the Crafted Series, which combines archival details with purposeful enhancements and skillful construction, would help to continue Carhartt’s legacy by reimagining its coveted archival pieces with premium, heavyweight materials.

The defining release of a collection built upon the foundations of a legacy in craftsmanship is the Chore Jacket, which is a thoughtful combination of two Carhartt icons: the renowned Detroit Jacket, and the respected Chore Coat, both stalwarts of the legendary American brand. 

Lined with warm sherpa and available in either timeless denim or iconic 12-ounce duck canvas, the Chore Jacket is built upon the slightly cropped foundation of the Detroit Jacket, and utilizes the patch pockets of the Chore Coat. There’s also an ultradurable #10 zipper to guarantee longevity.

Archival details like Carhartt’s heart button, which is a prize on the collector’s market, appear on the jacket, but this new style is as rooted in modernity as it is legacy — and that’s a direct reflection of the Crafted Series as a whole.

Consider this the defining workwear of our new world, and just remember — when your work is done, the Chore Jacket will pick up with your kids and grandkids, just like the Carhartt workwear before it.
