Caterpillar, the world's leading construction equipment manufacturer, has announced the launch of its newest CAT WWR clothing collection, expanding its portfolio of streetwear offerings by capitalizing on the fashion industry's current workwear craze.
The new Fall/Winter 2021 collection boasts a variety of workwear-oriented designs that celebrate Caterpillar's heritage. The wide-ranging collection includes pullover hoodies, tye-dye t-shirts, patterned crewneck sweatshirts, oversized puffer jackets, tactile vests, work pants, and more.
