Carhartt Reworked Resale Program Expands to Retail Stores

Expansion of recommerce program will cover entire U.S. by accepting mail-in trade-in starting in late 2023

Following the successful pilot launch of its resale program dedicated to extending the life of workwear and reducing clothing waste, America’s premium workwear brand Carhartt, in partnership with Trove, announced that it will expand Carhartt Reworked to accept trade-in at 35 company retail stores effective immediately and begin mail-in trade-in starting in late 2023.

Beginning July 19, participating Carhartt retail stores will begin accepting in-store trade-ins. The expansion of the trade-in program comes after the company piloted the program in six stores across the U.S. Beginning in late 2023, Carhartt will expand the program to cover the full U.S. as it begins accepting mail-in trade-in.

Aimed at building a better world by creating a circular recommerce model that extends the life of its durable gear and reduces clothing waste, Carhartt has extended the life of over 9,000 garments and kept more than 40,000 products out of landfills since the initial launch in March. The Carhartt Reworked program, which is the first branded resale site in the workwear industry, has engaged with nearly 4,000 hardworking people spanning all 50 states across the U.S.

With the industry-leading experience that Trove has as a market leader in branded resale, Carhartt Reworked does just what the name suggests: reworks previously worn or slightly imperfect gear that isn’t done working and gets it into the hands of people who can put it to good use.

Here’s how it works:

• Consumer Trade-In: The Reworked program will accept trade-in of select Carhartt products that meet the requirements. All accepted products must meet condition standards, must have been a style sold by Carhartt within the past 10 years and are required to have had an original MSRP cost of $50 or more. The product categories include: outerwear, shirt jacs, bib overalls and coveralls, hoodies, sweatshirts, pants and jeans. For those who bring eligible gear to participating Carhartt stores, the customer can exchange their gear for a digital gift card, which can be used on reworked.carhartt.com, Carhartt.com or at any Carhartt Company Store. Any gear not eligible for trade in will be properly recycled or donated to keep fabric out of landfills;
• Mail-In Trade-In:Beginning in late 2023, the Reworked program will accept mail-in trade-in of select Carhartt products that meet the eligibility and condition requirements. Consumers who do not prefer to bring their worn items to a store will have the option to begin their trade-in online on the Reworked website and then mail it in. Upon completion, receipt of product and inspection, Carhartt will send a gift card for any accepted gear; and
• Returns/Imperfect Inventory: Depending on the garment’s condition, the product will either be cleaned, repaired and reassessed, immediately available for resale, or be properly recycled.
