This all started with the best Christmas present I ever gave my husband - a tan Carhartt jacket. He opened it on Christmas to many “oooohs” from everyone around the tree. I ate this up, of course. Everyone wants to be “the best gift giver”. Then he wore this jacket everywhere and the compliments just ROLLED IN. It’s like the jacket was covered in magic sauce. So I put it on and you know what – it was AMAZING. And that’s where our story begins. Let’s get into it!

Workwear has always inspired fashion. High waisted pants? Thank the sailors for your snatched waist. Gold buttons? Soldiers. Racing stripes? Boat neck? Throw out a fashion reference, it probably comes from a job. So whether you’re looking for full immersion, or some fresh inspo for 2025, it’s time to dress for the job you probably don’t have (but might enjoy!)
