ENGINEERED FOR WORK, DESIGNED FOR COMFORT
‘Sturdy and warm, flexible and built to last’, Carhartt says its range of denim is ‘the perfect choice’ if
you’re working outdoors on site.
For cooler days when you need some extra warmth, the relaxed fit Denim Fleece Lined Snap-Front Shirt is
described as ‘tough on the outside but snug’. It comes with an ‘iconic’ Carhartt blanket lining made from
100% polyester printed fleece, two chest pockets with button closures and a dedicated pencil opening, as
well as two lower-front pockets for essential items. This ‘shirt jac’ is said to be ‘an ideal choice for those
who want something sturdy yet comfortable, lightweight but warm and roomy enough for layering over a shirt
and sweater’.
Denim’s resilience, coupled with its classic comfort, makes jeans, overalls and shirts in denim the ideal
workwear wardrobe staple, and with the great choices in Carhartt’s range, the clothing supplier says there’s
something to suit every task. www.carhartt.com
