Carhartt

[indigo_junkie]

I was up in the Carhartt store at the TVG in Sydney today and I was shocked at the similarity of the stuff they had with IH. They had similar style flannel shirts, hickory stripe, work chambray, their version of the IH cordura windbreaker. I was like, woah. Nothing like the quality of IH though, about 1/3 the price. I'm guessing these are staples of quality work clothes, so it would only be natural for both companies to come up with similar kinds of clothing. I was going to take some pics, but I figured wouldn't go down so well with the sales staff (I was the only one in the store, and it was a small store).

Yeah, I saw that Carhartt Hickory shirt in the store in London. Construction was a pale shadow of IH, no thanks Carhartt. Wasn't cheap either.

Work-related gear has been hot for a while now… Lotsa brands having their go at chambrays and workshirts and all that... Of course, it's like a cow reading Wittgenstein: they don't know what the fuck they're doing...

If I wanted to abuse workers by buying stuff made in Asian countries to pose as a 'worker', I'd buy Carhartt though, sure!..

[hectic]

"Cow reading Wittgenstein" - LOLed properly!

[Beatle]

moving this to other brands - and rename Carhartt ..makes sense ?

[hectic]

natch, sense made.

[Seul]

Doesn't really make sense - do we need a Carhartt thread??? Thread was about work-related gear now being produced by 'bigger corps' (read as: effin phonies)…

[hectic]

Dude, it can be a whipping thread if you wish.

It's fairly obvious I'm not a fan, innit

Carhartt does make some pretty good duck pants..maybe it's worth having it around..

Duck pants? 

I've browsed through their site recently but the ones I've found are either double leg or some type of cargo variety.

Just looking for a slightly slim cut duck pants. Haven't seen one so far.

I don't think Duck pants are ever really slim …but anyways

I picked up a Carhartt Roper Canvas pants from UnionMade SF and had it chainstitched at Self Edge.
Quality is decent, 12 oz canvas with a slim fit.  I needed some black pants other than my 22oz Super Black.
Someday, I will take pics…

This thread should definitely be here. Carhartt has a place in my heart. I actually have this coming seasons catalog for the Euro line at my place. Maybe I will scan some images in when I get back there tomorrow.
