Built to Last: A Fireside Chat with Carhartt’s Archive Dave

Dive into the history of Carhartt garments at this special event! Dave Moore, Archive & Digital Asset Manager at Carhartt, will be at Billings Farm & Museum for an evening all about history, fashion, and, of course, Carhartt. Dave will be bringing original, rarely seen, and historical items from the Carhartt archive!
Visitors are invited to bring in their vintage or well-worn Carhartt garments, and Dave will go into the history behind the origin, creation, and background of each piece.
Visitors can enjoy a fascinating presentation and fireside-style interview, followed by an audience Q&A. Light appetizers and refreshments will be served.
Visitors can also explore Farm Fashion and discover the enduring influence of agricultural workwear on contemporary style, from Carhartt to local textile mills and beyond.
Tickets are by donation, with suggested donations of either $20/ticket or $10 with winter wear for a local clothing drive.
