Carhartt is not on the short list of flashy gifting brands — Le Labo, lululemon, John Derian. However, they’ve garnered a loyal, devoted fan base because of how durable and reliably neutral their designs are. Socks are a boring gift. High-performance, well-made socks from Carhartt gift someone the ability to spend $60 on a new tie rather than stocking up on basics.

Carhartt is much more than a brand for warm beanies. They’ve got outerwear, flannels, heavyweight T-shirts, and a plethora of other menswear that’s unlikely to disappoint the men on your gifting list. High-quality neutrals aren’t the most exciting, but for men who value practicality, and durability over all else, they’re a perfect brand to lean on.
SPY Editors make a living off zeroing in on brands that are worth spending on. We hold the same standard for the goods we recommend for gifting, and Carhartt is a brand worth indulging in for the men in your life who want nothing. The SPY team has hand-picked some of our favorite pieces from their current selection that we’d love to receive this year.

Super Dux Relaxed Fit Sherpa-Lined Camo Jacket
Buy Now
“I unironically love camo,” said SPY editor Tyler Schoeber. “What makes it weird is that I was born and raised in a New York City suburb and have zero connection to the Great Outdoors (that doesn’t include honking cars and gum-stained sidewalks). Nonetheless, I continue to rock camo.”
Why this jacket in particular? “It stands out in the sea of other “regular” camo patterns I’ve already got in my wardrobe. Plus, it’s built for pretty frigid temps which is needed in my now-called-home Chicago neighborhood.”
Loose-Fit Firm Duck Blanket-Lined Chore Coat
Buy Now
“I’d love to get this loose-fit firm duck blanket-lined coat as a gift. Anything lined with a blanket feels like the height of winter coziness to me, and the “2 warmer” rating makes this a good in-between coat for when it’s an awkwardly brisk 40 degrees,” said SPY Editor Jason Lalljee. “The firm duck canvas feels super durable and the corduroy collar adds a nice pop of texture to the typical Carhartt look.”
Loose Fit Midweight Hoodie

“Painting with a broad brush, I’m not really a hoodie guy. But it’s about to be freezing all the time, and even non-hoodie people need a hoodie,” said Tim Latterner, SPY’s style editor. “For that purpose, Carhartt is the only brand I’d trust for something that doesn’t feel fake on the inside, but that can stand up to bodega runs and taking the trash out without looking like a mess in case someone spots me.”
Belt and Wallet Gift Tin
Buy Now
“A 2-in-1 gift is always a clever way to make a present more special without adding extra work to your plate,” said SPY editor Taylor Galla. “This gifting tin from Carhartt comes with one of their slim Bifold Wallets and their basic nylon belt that’ll look right at home on a pair of utility or cargo pants.”
Waterproof 6" Steel Toe Wedge Boot
Buy Now
“These boots look a lot like a certain brand out of the midwest that I think are comically overpriced,” said Galla. “A good waterproof boot is a non-negotiable for anyone in a snowy, frigid climate, and these cost about a third of what their competitors cost and perform just as well. Plus, the oil-tanned brown goes well with almost any trouser or denim color, and the textured sole adds stability when navigating icy sidewalks.”
