Carhartt
Discover the stories that lie behind the strong bond between craftsmanship, heritage, and friendship with our portraits for Carhartt Workwear. From the five generations of Mobach collaborating since 1895 in their historic building in Utrecht, to Jippe from De Bonte Hen, who learned the trade of a miller from a young age and now combines his passion with work as a mill advisor and sailmaker. And finally Maarten and Boudewijn from Yomabouw, two friends who have known each other since their days of studying on Terschelling and who now use bio-based materials to fulfill their artisanal passions.
These portraits not only highlight the rich history and craftsmanship but also the powerful bonds of family and friendship that form the backbone of the Carhartt work community. Each image tells a unique story rooted in heritage, work ethic, and the essence of human connection.
