Care For Carhartt Water Repellant Workwear


Many of our garments are treated to provide water repellency, including Carhartt traditional duck garments. While they may be laundered according to the instructions above, the fabric must be retreated after one to three washings to maintain its water repellant feature.

There are several products on the market you can use to retreat your Carhartt water repellant workwear, usually available at your local grocery or hardware store. Follow the instructions on the bottle when applying.
