Partly, and only for specific items. Carhartt says it still runs three manufacturing facilities in Kentucky and Tennessee. Its statement is about those facilities, not about every jacket, bib and tee it sells, so the label on the exact item is what counts.
We don't list Carhartt as a brand-wide American-made pick for that reason. If you're shopping Carhartt, look for the item's own Made in USA label and country-of-origin line.
“Three manufacturing facilities are still operating in Kentucky and Tennessee to this day, and the original Irvine, Kentucky factory – completed in 1932 – now houses the operations center for Carhartt's supply chain.”

Look for the country-of-origin line on the product page and the label on the item itself. The FTC's standard for an unqualified “Made in USA” claim is “all or virtually all” of the product made here; phrases like “assembled in USA” or “with U.S. and global components” mean something narrower. If the listing doesn't say, ask the brand. Read the FTC's standard →
We attribute every claim to the brand's own words, with the source and the date we read it. We don't certify products ourselves.
