company profile:
Over one hundred and fifty years ago, America only had 33 states. The nation was in the early days of oil and gold rushes and in 1859 Henry Wood Carter would establish the H.W. Carter Co. in Lebanon, New Hampshire. That same year, Abigail Carter invented the first ever Overalls for use on railroads. Over the next ten years, H.W. Carter presents the original "Lebanon Overalls" for sale across New England.

By 1890 H.W. Carter & Sons became the premier manufacturer of denim overalls and "work wear". Carter's Overalls were famous throughout the United States. The company expands to marketing boy's overalls, as well as railroad overalls, painter pants, coats, jumpers and shirts eventually putting everything under the simple trademark "Carter's". Growing again a few years later to selling their new ski jackets, sport jackets and wool mackinaw coats, Carter's would soon acquire the Watch the Wear Overall Company of Keen, New Hampshire and its trade name "Watch the Wear".
