Too fucking accurate!!! When I was a factory/warehouse worker I would constantly see this brand but then I started seeing college kids wear it and then skaters. Now I work at Amazon and all I see getting shipped are white/pink carhartt beanies/sweatshirts (never in my life had I seen one before). This is basically doc Martin boots, poor people wear something then celebrities wear it and then everyone wears it and it decreases in quality. Can't wait for wolverine/redwing boots to be "fashionable".
This is what I've always said and then I proceed to get slammed with derision. When you actually need durable workwear for your career, it's frustrating when the price goes up but the quality goes down, but oh well, at least companies like Carhartt, Filson, Timberland, and Red Wing are making good money from the cosplay community. It kills me when you see people saying "I've had my X jacket for a million years, and it's still in perfect condition! You should buy one, because I wear it to my office job and to grab my daily Starbucks, so I can confidently attest to it's durability!".
@@timsutherland4033 And there you go. You're absolutely right to go ahead and wear "whatever the fuck you want to". That's always the defense of somebody that wears work attire or something that they don't really need. You don't see people hyping up brands like Walls, Berne, or Red Kap because they actually want to wear durable work attire casually: it's really all about that little patch on the pocket or hat. It's fine if someone wants to appear a certain way: I really don't care. What annoys me is that when it's time I need new boots or new pants for my career - what I may have bought a year or two ago is almost always not the same, causing me to have to stock up because it sucks to have to seek out new attire that I'm unfamiliar with. So, unfortunately, it seems I'm in the minority as far as the target customer base for these companies. Its a legitimate concern, and yet I've been called a hick, redneck, or blue collar, like it's an insult by the people wearing brands like Carhartt or Filson in order to appear to be those very things! So if it makes me a hick because I need them for my career, I'd gladly be a low life hick piece of shit garbage or whatever makes them feel better than a fake poser that's probably never swung a wrench or had mud on their hands.
Carhartt was never affordable really, at least not by my estimation. I've been wearing it since I was a baby and times were tough then, but if you could get 10 years out of an $80 coat, that was pretty good. the prices haven't really changed much in the last 20 years. I just bought a detroit jacket MIU brand new for $75 less than 2 years ago. Even their staple B01 pants are still under $100. Not entirely expensive but definitely not cheap either. I think you guys just like to find things to complain about.
I’ll never understand why people try and gate keep clothing brands. If you really like a clothing brand wouldn’t you want other people to enjoy it too?
@@Xenoghoul28 I'm a loading dock worker and a yard dog. I work nights and shit gets cold.....I tried some other brands but Carhartt is the only brand which gets the job done and lasts....specialy those rain defender hoodies.....they use to be reasonably priced....not so much anymore....pretty soon I won't be able to afford Carhartt....I guess it's back to Dickies
When I was a teen, I thought brands are all about their history and heritage. For example Vans is for skateboarders, The north face is for mountaineering, carhartt is for construction workers and farmers. But turns out every brand could with ease twist their directions and abandon their principles for the sake of income. The way I see it, Carhartt became another fashion brand lately just like many other.
@@BravestCoward Sure you can. But for me seeing these left tiktok kids wearing stuff tough men and women wear to do their job is kinda off. I don’t really dig ‘em.
Dude, your satire is top notch! Funny how I keep my Carhartt gear clean, coz in Europe it is quite expensive. But then again, when I use it for work I feel like I am doing something right!
@@kents.2866 I like the Big Bill work cloths. Well constructed and have some nice features that carhartt didn’t, like a full zip front. That’s my “go to” now, but I’ve checked out the Berne brand bibs at the local farm store and to be honest I’d probably have to look at Berne and Carhartt side by side to decide which Vietnam made pair I’d buy.
Hey man, mild carpal tunnel syndrome is no joke. Blue collar workers have it so easy...they dont understand how hard it is to sit for 8 hours strolling youtube when youre supposed to be making a powerpoint presentation 😢
@@MrKelly-ll1lx I got a carhartt sweater I bought in 2010. I'm so mad because I want to buy another and I can't find it anywhere....best 65$ I've spent on a sweater!
I wear carhartt brand at work. A guy thought I was at the assisted living facility to fix their electrical problems. I told him no. I'm a Home Health Physical Therapist 😁 who's wearing carhartt polo shirt, carhartt khaki pants
Yeah, I guess I used to be on board with this satire lol. All these (not so) HARD WURKIN FELLERS wearing their dang'ol CORHORT. But then I jokingly tried on a jacket one day (at tractor supply of all places lol) and found out hmmm there's something to this lol I'm a husky guy and this stuff fits well and feels good. So . . . now I have a collection haha
Carhartt means you can spend 50 bucks on a Sweatshirt and comfortably wear it in 25 degree weather. Or you can spend 2 grand on a Canada Goose jacket but I guess I’m the douche bag 🤷🏻♂️
I don’t get why people wear Canada goose in 10° this ain’t Antarctica, people in Utah look at me weird when I wear a thick leather jacket over a hoodie like wtf we ain’t waddlin with the penguins y’all (I’m from the south)
I remember when this trend started. I’ve always worked in the trades and mistakenly thought a guy I met at work did, too. Turned out he was a manager & he didn’t come from the field. Mind blown. I remember him bringing up some kind of nonsense like what my favorite hammer was. 😂
I wore Carhartt in the 90s when I was a forklift Operator for US Gypsum. I hated that job. Nothing like loading wall board onto flatbed trucks with the bay doors open, no heat and it’s 5 degrees with the cold wind blowing off the Hudson. Nothing keeps you warm. Not even Carhartt.
Wool, wool, wool. Wool layering will keep you warm. For wind, rain/snow, and durability, wear a lightweight nylon shell. Carhart is bulky, heavy, cheap, polyester and cotton garbage.
As someone who grew up in a blue collar family. I relate to this video...because now everyone I grew up with is now white collar...and so am I...and I wear my Carhart's while working my 8-5 Info Sec Job giving power point presentations lol.
I can ABSOLUTELY relate to this! 😂😂 It is rare to see me teaching any of my Cybersecurity classes at the University without at least one piece of Carhartt clothing on.
@@Slinkyy1234 I do labor and DO wear these jackets. Most guys i know wear canvas jackets. Its literally the few materials that are abrasion resistant. And no one can say shit to me. Because my company name is stitched on the jacket itself.
dumpster diving in places where blue collar jobs are more common than white collar jobs are probably bound to guarantee you some carhartt clothing now 😂
@@TNCelt1 no, I just definitely trolling you and the rest of the whiners.... carhartt clearly doesn't care.... just like the nfl didn't care, nascar didn't care, nike didn't care, yeti didn't care and so on.... the little right wing temper tantrum boycotts don't work
@@Big_Wamu Corporations used to care about their bottom line. I really miss corporate greed and cash is king. CEOs drinking ESG koolaid will lose in the end. The sooner the better.
I've seen alot of Skateboarders wearing it so I usually associated the brand with that especially since Carhartt does have its own Skate Team, I also found it turns out they do a variety of different types of clothing
With their recent decision to continue to push vax mandates on their workers, I thought that was a slap in the face to the everyday hard working men and women that support their brand. But apparently they knew the people that wear their brand better than I did.
Ever since United Airlines had their vaccine mandate to continue employment they haven’t had anyone die of Covid. Maybe it’s a business decision to save money on training new hires to replace the ones who die from Covid. But I digress, I’m not an everyday working man who wants to die of Covid, I’m an everyday working man who got his vaccine so I can continue working everyday and living my life.
@@FOSSIL13drums Where is this information available? Also how many employees died of Covid-19 versus other causes during this time? The CDC freely admits they can't give an accurate count since so many alleged Covid-19 deaths were actually from other causes. They are presently in the process of correcting the actual statistics. Also the Covid-19 shots won't be dependable for the next version of Covid-19. Please define what " being vaccinated " means.
I’m 36 and I been wearing carhartt as longest I remember. Here in Chicago is normal thing, specially in the winter. Mostly warehouse workers, factory workers and gang bangers rock carhartt. So wear whatever the fuck you want. Just don’t wear the wrong colors specially in Chicago.
Wow you sure showed them. Well at least you aren't a walking billboard for a conglomerate. Idk why anybody would wanna give any company free advertising unless they were a loser who bought into some made up ideals from the company. Why do so many old people feel betrayed from a brand that makes silly little clothes.
The sad part it's so true I actually work as blue collar (welder) and I go through so much carhart burning the hoodies and shirts and now it's getting so damn expensive I started getting duluth stuff.
Wait…didn’t Carhartt mandate All the employees to get the poke back in January 2022, and said “We stand behind our decision because we believe vaccines are necessary to protect our workforce,” Carhartt co.
Kids these days are wearing carhartt now because it's the only brand that'll let their nuts and balls breathe. Everyone's still making skinny jeans except workwear brands.
I bought a walls jacket once. Within a couple days two snaps fell apart then the zipper broke. Only wore it a few times. Not working in it either just wearing it.
I don’t get this video. I been in the trade for 16-17 years and we all wear carthartt because of the durability. Didn’t know it was a “thing” for guys living at home or office guys
Good stuff. I work a white collar job now, but spent over ten years in blue collar work (factories, landscaping, construction/surveying) and I just haven’t found a brand that holds up the same way so I still wear it. Can afford it better now too, ha!
The reason sakters started wearing carhartt was because it was durable you could take anfall in their jacket and keep your skin intact. Its not new either skaters have been wearing it since the 80s. There are alot of coffee shop carhartt but i dont really mind tbh
I work maintenance at a university. I do just about everything manual and skilled labor. Carhartt is basically all I wear. Not to work though, I wear 20 dollar wranglers and dickies t shirts.
Sorry to tell everyone I’ve been in construction for over 20 years and I can honestly tell you they don’t make Carhart clothing like they used to back in the day, it’s a joke now it’s lighter duck cloth, Some of the jackets have less down in them, The quality isn’t there like it used to be, just look at some of the vintage jackets if you got any of them what a difference in what they make not like nowadays facts!
That's true. Here in Germany it's pretty much impossible to get a pair of good old duck trousers. They're only selling this weird stretchy ones. I order most of my workwear from the US, because over here nothing really comes close to classic made carhartt workwear.
I totally agree with you. I bought the Bartlett jacket 8-9 years ago and it was so warm and lined with a very quality Sherpa lining. I lost weight and wanted one more fitted and bought the newer ones and they are so thin and no longer a jacket that holds up to the Chicago winter on it’s own. Looks nice but not warm at all with a thin cheaper Sherpa lining
It’s funny how they’ve exported the work force to places like China whilst keeping the same prices and lowering quality. Carhartt is hardly even a workwear brand anymore as much as it is fashion.
I bought my father a pair of Carhartt canvas pants for his 50th birthday....they are still worn frequently with the torn knees and left butt cheek showing....I think he stopped washing them because the dirt probably holds the fibers together, coming up to 25 years tho
Many people are boycotting Carhartt now that they made vaccines mandatory for their employees. Even though the supreme court said OSHA vaccine mandate was unconstitutional. Never will we support Carhartt again. Many better alternatives anyways.
It's a heavy duty, quality, sweatshirt. I quit thinking about it after I bought it because it's my 3rd or 4th one. I know what I'm going to get out of it so I don't have to think about it. Not thinking about projecting an image or trying to be part of a tribe. It's a freaking sweatshirt . . . that's all.
I use my dad's carhartt jacket because it's so warm and nice. He got it from his older brother and has had it for a few years. New ones are nice, but worn ones are better!
lmao watched this on my work computer, and when that Teams ping chimed in, I thought it was MY boss chiming in for a second! Then I realized that I was watching this after work hours, so it couldn't have been her.
I went in and tried ARIAT, CATERPILLAR, REDWING, RIDGECUT, WOLVERINE, TUESDAY, and TIMBERLAND. Guess what??? CARTHARTT blew ALL of them away by a mile !!!! how? like this: Instantly as soon as you slide your foot in, they feel "Insanely SUPPORTIVE" and "Insanely COMFORTABLE" at the "same time". That is the MAGIC combo, they even have ARCH SUPPORT!! which you can only get on orthopedic shoes. NOBODY comes close, and nobody tells you this about them. Bottom line is NOBODY EVEN COMES CLOSE to the CARTHARTT, they now have a customer for LIFE with me as long as they don't change.
Nah man carhartt just makes great stuff, I do landscaping and in the fall where I live it gets mad cold so a nice carhartt jacket is always welcomed, only reason I made it through this past fall
Car hart use to represent the hard working freedom Americans, now they force mandates and support the woke community. People across the country are boycotting Carhartt for turning their backs on Freedom. I'll buy another piece of Carhartt.
Been a mechanic for 20 years. Been wearing Carhartt for 15. I only wear it at work and during the work week. The weekends I dress nice. I live in the burbs and all of my friends are white collar. I laugh at the country guys who wear 2 tiers of Carhartt. They wear the ones stained and have holes in them to work. And the new ones to a nice restaurant or wedding lol. I like the clothes because they look nice and last a long time. I call bullshit on all of you people who have Carhartt for year and years . You obviously are not using it for work or hard work. My best friend is white collar but dresses country. He has a Carhartt jacket 15 years old. He only wears it to the home depo and always makes sure it never gets dirty. Maybe I am picky. But my Carhartt last about 1.5 years except for my jackets etc. All of my Carhartt that gets stained or holes in them go to my garage for work around the house. Last year I went camping and everyone was wearing Carhartt. I told all of them they are not Blue collar and look silly. I also said. I don’t wear my Seven hemmed jeans and a nice polo to camping….. 20 years ago. Only tradesman and welders and country wore Carhartt. Now when I go to Starbucks or Dutch. They are all wearing it.
I mean from Carhartt wip site: Carhartt Work In Progress (Carhartt WIP) forms a division of the American brand Carhartt, one of the first companies to pioneer workwear in the USA. Founded in Europe in 1989, 100 years after Hamilton Carhartt established his business in Detroit, Carhartt WIP has been carefully adapting and modifying Carhartt's core product characteristics for a different audience of consumers who value refined design and quality while still remaining true to Carhartt's brand origins. This was their goal
@@brendon126 I think it is more a survival thing than a real choice especially in the context of a full scale global market. You may say that it is exactly because they are weak minded or they play the safest option - like the video shows - that they decided to produce in Mexico, India - probably Bangladesh too - not because they are what they claim to be, meaning a honorable company with great heritage and strong values. What I suspect is that Carhartt is doing exactly what most clothing companies are doing: they don't own any factory outside of the US. They only sign contracts with institutions located in low wage countries and ask them to provide a specific amount of branded clothes at a dirt cheap price. What I claim is that there is a subtle attitude from Carhartt in deceiving costumers by making them to believe that they hold strongly to their traditional principles of quality and craftmanship when in reality they are just like most other companies: a brand already present in the memory of most Americans that is worth to exploit up to the last penny at the expenses of the unaware costumer. A nice twist in the evolution of this 100% American family business from trustful company to masters of deception.
@@safewaycart nah it isn't a survival thing. there's brands like red wing and solovair that are still domestic. they just remain true to their roots by staying a decent size. in the end they'll benefit
