Carhartt 50 Years Anniversary OG Active Jacket
To mark 50 years of the iconic Active Jacket, Carhartt WIP has created four special edition designs. A symbol of memory and materiality, identity and adaptation, each new style honors the original.
Introduced in the US to serve a more casual consumer, the Active Jacket’s shape was based on the already popular Hooded Zip Sweatshirt, rebuilt with a tougher, reinforced exterior and insulated lining for warmth. In 1975, the style first appeared in denim – then considered an off-duty work fabric – with a bold red flannel lining. It was released in duck canvas shortly after, giving us the recognizable style we know today.
In 1997, Carhartt WIP introduced its own interpretation of this style, which would now be recognized as the OG Active Jacket, thanks to its loose, oversized silhouette. The item stayed true to its roots with a hooded bomber-style shape, triple stitching, and gold-tone hardware.
This year, Carhartt WIP will release four limited-edition, anniversary pieces: block color and camouflage canvas, as well as denim and leather. Retaining the classic details of the original silhouette, each edition is also fully reversible and bears a unique, commemorative Square Label.
