Soft, breathable, lightweight workwear: Carhartt launches Tencel™ Fibre Series for women

Carhartt recently unveiled its new Tencel™ Fibre Series for women – a collection designed to meet the growing demand for lightweight, breathable workwear that doesn’t compromise on durability. Developed using Tencel™ Lyocell fibres, the range blends comfort, performance and sustainability.

The series was created in direct response to feedback from tradeswomen seeking lighter workwear that could handle tough conditions without feeling heavy or restrictive. The result is a collection that’s softer, lighter and more versatile than ever before, with each piece built for long-lasting performance.

Every item in the range is designed to transition seamlessly between work and downtime. The T-shirts feature a relaxed fit, lightweight feel and practical details like rib-knit collars and chest pockets. The short-sleeve Crewneck T-Shirt (106122) is available in colours such as soft rose, barnwood, oat milk heather and wisteria, offering a fresh take on traditional workwear tones. A long-sleeve version (106121) is also available, cut for extra mobility and made with the same breathable Tencel™ fibres for comfort in warmer conditions.

The collection also includes a midweight French Terry Crewneck Sweatshirt (106179), which balances softness with strength, and is ideal for job sites or off-duty wear. A midweight Half-Zip Sweatshirt (106451), available in black or oat milk, features a relaxed fit for easy layering. Powered by Tencel™ fibres, both sweatshirts deliver an ultra-soft feel with the durability to withstand repeated wear and washing.

Tencel™ Lyocell fibres, made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, are biodegradable and environmentally responsible. Despite their softness, they offer impressive strength – ideal for workwear built to last. The fabric’s breathability plays a key role in keeping wearers comfortable in warm or physically demanding environments. It allows airflow and wicks moisture from the skin, helping to prevent overheating and keep wearers dry throughout the day.

With more women entering the trades, the demand for high-performance, purpose-built gear is greater than ever. The Tencel™ Fibre Series reflects Carhartt’s ongoing commitment to supporting this workforce with smarter design, better materials and workwear that goes beyond expectations.
