The steel blue colourway

Blue-leaning colourways like this appeared in limited production and rarely surface in vintage stock. They photograph differently to how they read in person — usually deeper.

Era and identification

The K87 is the most produced Carhartt garment ever made. Older examples use noticeably heavier cotton than current production and carry the small square label on the chest pocket.

Condition — work-worn

Graded work-worn: real character. Marks, softened fabric, uneven fade and possibly honest repairs at stress points. This is the grade collectors actually want, because none of it can be faked and no two broken-in pieces look alike. Priced at $24 against an original retail of $42 — 43% below new, for fabric weight and construction current production no longer matches.

How it fits and how to wear it

Cut boxy and often wider than modern tees at the same label size. Many buyers size down one for a fitted look, or wear as-is for the boxy silhouette. Wears as a standalone piece in warm weather or as a base layer under a jacket. The heavier cotton drapes rather than clings, which is the main difference from modern tees. Message us with reference TS14 for pit-to-pit, length and waist or inseam measured flat, plus extra photos.

Care

Wash cold and hang dry to protect the fade you paid for. Heat is what dulls vintage cotton and shrinks the boxy cut you want to keep.
