As someone who has spent countless hours outdoors, working under the sun and battling against the elements, I can truly appreciate Carhartt’s commitment to supporting hardworking individuals like myself. The expansion of their Montana series, offering jackets, outerwear, t-shirts, and mid-layers for every working condition, is a welcome addition to my wardrobe.


He stars on the hit series Yellowstone, which is filmed in Montana – and, happily, returns to screens in November to finish up season five.

Instead of Kevin Costner, actors like Cole Hauser, Kelly Reilly, and Wes Bentley (along with several others) are set to appear.

Now Luke Grimes has starred in a short movie about what Montana is really like. 

On a Tuesday, DailyMail.com was granted an exclusive preview of the seven-minute video titled “Made In Montana.” This video showcases Grimes and features farmers and diligent individuals who have been cultivating the land for many years. Additionally, they generously donated $350,000 to The Nature Conservancy.

Luke stands behind the common man amidst a period when billionaires are buying vast tracts of land, seemingly for amusement.

In their statement to DailyMail.com, Grimes remarked that it’s simple to get lost in the routine of daily life, not considering the effort involved in providing food, but living where they do, it’s a constant reminder as you witness others working hard to grow or gather what ends up on your table.

‘Without those people and their hard work, the rest of us wouldn’t be able to eat.’

The mini movie was made with Carhartt, America’s premium workwear brand. 

The statement emphasizes that farmers and ranchers have consistently played a crucial role in America’s well-being by supplying us with vital food and natural resources, as noted in a press release sent to DailyMail.com.

Connecting through mutual respect for hardworking individuals in agriculture, Carhartt, a renowned American workwear brand, and Luke Grimes, a well-known actor, musician, and Montana resident, are collaborating to honor and strengthen support for the resilient men and women across rural generations. This partnership is an extension of Carhartt’s ongoing campaign, “History in the Making.

Highlights Montana-based artisans who diligently preserve the vibrant essence of the Old West.

As narrated by Grimes, this video pays tribute to the unrecognized heroes whose tireless work ensures our land remains abundant with food, and safeguarded for the benefit of generations to come.

In the heart of Bitterroot Valley, Montana, a tight-knit town, the creative arts highlight the importance of craftsmanship, the agricultural community, and local families who are forging legacies through diligence – factors that drew Grimes and his family to settle here and remain the driving force behind his career as an actor and musician.

In the brief movie, residents of the Bitterroot Valley stress the significance of preserving the land in this region, explaining how it directly influences their day-to-day activities as farmers and ranchers.

As a passionate advocate, I’m thrilled to be part of the journey where Montana’s Bitter Root Land Trust (BRLT) empowers private landowners and our community. Through their invaluable support, we harness conservation tools meticulously designed to help us realize our dreams of preserving and nurturing our precious lands.

Through collaborating with landowners who are open to establishing conservation easements on their properties, the BRLT (Bitter Root Land Trust) plays a crucial role in preserving operational farms and ranches, critical animal habitats, and valuable water resources, ensuring clean drinking water for upcoming generations.

In addition to the ‘Made in Montana’ tagline, Carhartt’s Montana series – a collection inspired by the tough, hardworking folks of the American West – has unveiled fresh gear incorporating cutting-edge advancements that embody the essence of Western fashion while maintaining the renowned durability and practicality synonymous with Carhartt.

In Carhartt’s worldwide manufacturing network, they’ve introduced fresh items such as jackets, coats, t-shirts, and mid-layers to enrich the variety of the Montana collection, catering to all types of work environments.

In order to reinforce the commendable hands-on spirit demonstrated by U.S. ranchers, Carhartt has decided to donate $350,000 to The Nature Conservancy (TNC), a well-known international environmental charity, to aid in their conservation projects focused on land preservation.

In Montana, The Nature Conservancy protects working farms and ranches that sustain current and upcoming generations of farming families, prioritizing advantages for the environment and local communities.

As a lifestyle expert, I can share that The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has made a substantial difference in the Northern Great Plains of Montana through their unique grass-banking program. This program is a collaborative effort that allows ranchers to utilize designated grasslands for grazing their livestock, in return for them taking active steps towards conservation on their own lands. Remarkably, this initiative has resulted in the positive conservation of approximately 300,000 acres in the region.

As a committed advocate for sustainable living, I’m thrilled to share that Carhartt is proudly strengthening our bond with The Nature Conservancy. Together, we’re making strides in preserving natural habitats, particularly in Montana and our cherished home state of Michigan.

‘The preservation strategies they’ve established on a local level will fortify the lasting impact of the dedicated farmers and ranchers, who depend on the land for their livelihood across generations.’
