“Dating back to the launch of our Super Dux hunting line in 1930, hardworking people have taken Carhartt into the woods for over a century and we believe that hunting is about the preparation, shared wisdom and the legacy that is passed down from generation to generation,” said Tony Ambroza, senior vice president of marketing at Carhartt. “Keeping traditions alive and sharing them with those you love and with those you love to hunt with is what the experience in the rugged outdoors is all about."
