Brown duck was the genius creation of Hamilton Carhartt. His brown duck bib overalls for railroad workers revolutionized clothing for the working class. These overalls were first recorded in a 1915 newspaper article that described the new “wonderful brown Carhartt’s.”
This brown duck bib is still in the Carhartt stable and remains as popular as it was when originally introduced. Hamilton Carhartt’s brown duck serves as a reminder that great quality never goes out of fashion.
Today, Carhartt has increased their duck line across the board for men’s, women’s and accessories.
WHAT IS DUCK FABRIC?
Since the introduction of Carhartt’s original brown duck in 1915, Carhartt has developed 8 different variations of their famously durable workwear fabric — currently in use in over 200 rugged Carhartt products. With distinctive properties ranging from fabric strength, weight, rigidity, and color, to the advanced technologies and finishes used to fortify the garment, there’s a hardworking duck fabric for every task.
FIRM DUCK
Carhartt’s strongest cotton duck is the most durable canvas out there. Built with added toughness, firm duck is water-repellent, wind resistant, and rugged. If you like to break in your jackets and pants, firm duck is for you.

DUCK
Good ‘ol duck is stiff, ring-spun cotton. If you like your Carhartt solid, classic and durable as the day is long, this is the duck for you.
WASHED DUCK
If you like sandstone duck, you’ll like Carhartt’s washed duck. This fabric feels exactly like it sounds—Carhartt took their durable, classic duck, and washed it for a broken-in look and feel. It breaks in faster than duck, and looks newer, longer.

SANDSTONE DUCK
Sandstone duck is sanded and brushed for softness and comfort. The more you wear it, the more it breaks in—it’s comfortable the first day you put it on and more comfortable and worn-in on the 50th.
QUICK DUCK®
Quick Duck® is durable, and lighter than traditional sandstone duck. It’s built with a durable water repellent, so water beads up and rolls off, and it doesn’t require breaking in like sandstone—so your gear will always look fresh.
