Carhartt sources its outerwear from Rosetis, a manufacturer in Managua, Nicaragua that produces over 150,000 garments weekly. Rosetis maintains a library of 450 stocked styles that can be modified with lower minimum orders, though new designs require higher minimums due to pattern-making and sampling work.
Here's how Carhartt makes a lot of their outerwear. Rosetis is a clothing manufacturer based in Managua in Nicaragua. They're a fully vertical clothing manufacturer that knocks out over 150,000 garments per week. They offer everything you can want, including pattern making, sampling, embellishing, and so on. Their specialty seems to be everything in canvas and cotton. Their minimum order quantities are rather high when you develop something entirely from scratch. However, they have over 450 styles already stocked, and if you alter them a little bit, you can definitely lower those quantities going into the project. This is because pattern making and sampling is extremely time intensive. Contacting them is really easy. They have a button for it on their website and they typically answer within 48 hours.
