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

Thursday, October 29, 6:00PM – 8:00PM

Dive into the history of Carhartt garments at this special event. Join Dave Moore, Archive & Digital Asset Manager at Carhartt for an evening all about history, fashion, and, of course, Carhartt. Dave will bring original, rarely seen historical items from the Carhartt archive.

Bring your own vintage or well-worn Carhartt garments, and Dave will go into the history behind the origin, creation, and background of each piece. Enjoy a fascinating presentation and fireside-style interview, followed by an audience Q&A.

Light appetizers and refreshments will be served as you explore the Farm Fashion Exhibition and discover the enduring influence of agricultural workwear on contemporary style, from Carhartt to New England textile mills and beyond.

Tickets are by donation, with suggested donations of either $20/ticket or winter wear for a local clothing drive.

Tickets will be available on September 16.
