Ooooh, that's killer riff! Wow!

Nice Riff is the fabric thicker than Barbour?

[riffblaster general]

No it's similar to Barbour flyweights.

Thanks DS.  Now if it wasn't 80 degrees here I could wear it haha.

Always been a Carhartt fan. They make great duck cotton shorts… I've sold Carhartt at the retail level. I was amazed at how they keep Europe and North America product lines different.. I know of a Canadian company that had the rights to make unlined versions of their popular duck cotton jacket(s).. Weird.. I have a lot of Carhartt kicking around the house. My favorite is a vintage unlined denim chore coat. Never seen one like it. Note the red stitching touches at the pocket corners..

Coat repaired 10/10/2011 - (Little Korean lady at the tailor down the road. She laughed at my 634XHS "no sewing those no!")


This is the outside of the big repair..

Looking good…
I took the coat off the moment i ripped it and had it sewn unwashed so that the tear didn't run.

Update
LOL Found the union label in the pocket today..

Great work coat there JS, Carhartt ages so well. Just got a pair of brown bib overalls and I love them!

Express that love with heaps of not washing..

I washed them once to get the new look off of them, now I'll be beating the crap out of them!

Was a big fan of Carharrt back when it was Union Made and Crafted With Pride In The USA but now most of the workline seems to be made in Mexico that i have seen. The Euro line was aimed at skaters when it was first launched and did contain bits and bobs of the proper US workline before those were eventually watered down, i'm sure the HQ is still based in Germany.

Still have black ducks, tee and my much beloved hoodie which due to it's pretty beat up nature is used only for heavy work these days.

Any UK workwear fans remember a store called The Duke??
