Background
Carhartt is an American workwear brand founded in 1889 in Detroit, Michigan, originally producing durable clothing for railroad workers. The chore coat — a hip-length, four-pocket work jacket derived from French agricultural workwear — became one of Carhartt's signature pieces and a crossover staple adopted by streetwear, skate, and fashion communities beginning in the 1990s. The bottle green colorway is one of the more fashion-forward options in Carhartt's palette, departing from the brand's most utilitarian browns and khakis. Carhartt's WorkInProgress (WIP) sub-label formalized this fashion crossover from 1994, producing updated versions of core Carhartt silhouettes including the chore coat for a European streetwear audience. The chore coat format also became a staple of workwear-influenced fashion more broadly, referenced by designers ranging from A.P.C. to Engineered Garments.
