Carhartt Whitsome Shirt Jacket

Seen here in an autumnal-inspired shade of boysenberry, this Whitsome Shirt Jacket from Carhartt actively embodies all there is to admire about the brand’s workwear rich heritage and their dedication to upholding their utilitarian aesthetic. Made from 100% cotton corduroy with a heavyweight 8-wale vertical-quilted exterior and a breathable nylon-taffeta interior lining, this long sleeve shirt jacket is set to make light work of any demanding lifestyle. Styled with adjustable cuffs, a straightened hemline and with a full-length 6-button placket that flows through the centre of the chest from its pointed collar, this uniquely garment washed jacket boasts an industrialised undertone that pays homage to the brand’s age-old roots. Reinforced bartack stitching throughout helps provide more rigid structuring, whilst the addition of two welt-style pockets above the waist and two button-down patch-style pockets either side of the chest help provide ample storage space for must-have essentials and smaller, more valuable items. Signed off with the brand’s iconic ‘C’ patch tab across the left chest pocket and with a honourable urbanised vibe, this go-to jacket is set to become a staple year-round choice.

Welcoming all-organic cotton into its collections in 2019, Carhartt has continued to prove its contemporary worth for the past 130 years. Launched by Hamilton Carhartt with just two sewing machines and five humble employees to its name, the brand is known as one for the first-ever to pioneer America’s workwear industry, whilst their blue-collar charm and admirable desire to maintain utilitarian relevancy is something that we truly admire here at Flatspot.
