Carhartt WIP is a fashion focused side brand, for people who want to pay extra to cosplay as a laborer.

Wait, Carhartt is a stereotype of the left wing now? I’ve always associated it with very blue collar, outdoors type work. The kinds of jobs that you wouldn’t typically associate with left wing extremism.

The only item I’ve ever owned from carhart is over 12 years old and still looks new. Its a real shame too, since i can’t figure out how to work it into a femme outfit of any sort.

I associate blue collar workers with leftism

One example does not prove a trend.
Plus, I’m just talking about perception, not the reality of the actual political leanings of every single Carhartt customer.

Where I live, stoners wear carhartt, skaters wear dickies and blue collar people wear Engelbert Strauss.

Carhartt “went woke” and the left likes quality cloths too so I guess it didn’t take a whole lot to change perception (blue collar workers that aren’t insane still wear Carhartt btw, lol)
