Carhartt, America’s premium workwear brand since 1889, today announced it has joined forces with Mark Zona, one of the most recognizable faces in outdoors television today, as its latest hardworking industry partner.
With this partnership, Carhartt will sponsor Zona’s Awesome Fishing Show on the Outdoor Channel and MarkZona.com. Zona will wear and test Carhartt products during his adventures both on and off the water. Carhartt is launching its new Outdoor Apparel line this fall and Zona will help the product development teams by providing feedback for development of fishing apparel for the Spring 2017 collection.
Over the years, Mark Zona has become an immensely popular television fishing show host because of his authentic style and a willingness to take on any kind of weather to get the job done.
“We are honored that Mark has selected Carhartt as his apparel partner. His honest, hardworking approach to life both on the water and off is a great match for our brand, especially as we bring some of our new outdoor products to the forefront,†said Tim Humes, senior brand manager of outdoors at Carhartt.
“Growing up in Michigan, I wore Carhartt coveralls whether I was chasing smallmouth bass in Traverse City or drilling holes in the ice near my hometown of Sturgis. It seemed like everybody that hunted and fished wore Carhartt,†Zona said. “This opportunity to represent a Michigan-based brand, that is so incredibly respected worldwide, is one of the most humbling partnerships of my career.â€
