I used to like Carhartt. But it’s yet another rug pull
They made good stuff for a while. Then got bought out and now make dog shit.
Bought two Carhartt jeans. Both had the same rip in the crotch after a year of use. Just work pants. Sitting in an office.
You want good jeans? Roundhouse jeans. Made somewhere in America. I love em. Expensive but I’d rather pay 70 now then 59 every year.
Shirts? Eh. I have a few Carhartt and those are fine so far. But there’s a reason why old Carhartt clothes still go for a good chunk of change.
I’ve been trying to buy more made in America stuff. Local jobs and all that. Carhartt used to advertise that everything was made in the USA but stopped when they moved their manufacturing to China. They didn’t advertise that they’re now made cheap and probably just a white label on something but hey. It’s your money.
Buy local when you can. And fuck Duluth. I figured I’d get that in there while I could.
From what I understand they designate some of their stuff to be nice work wear they still make for folks who need it, and some they designate as more fashion.
That’s how they balance their huge increase in demand from what I understand, rather than just selling nothing but crap, or ignoring that lots of people want their clothes for the branding alone

Ah. So I have to hope I’m getting the good product and not the bad product while paying the same inflated price!
Fun. I love RNG in my clothes
It’s not RNG, the fashion forward items are labeled Carhartt WIP.
Thats fair. The world we live in is pretty stupid. There might be some way to check which is which, but I don’t remember
Generally where you buy it.
A place where they don’t cater to tradespeople? Fashion.
A store with several other brands of work clothes? Thats the stuff that lasts.
This just based off of my experience as a Millwright.
Apparently most Roundhouse jeans are made abroad. Only the ones you buy from their factory website are US made.
Ah. I only ever bought from their website. I didn’t know they sold them in stores.
