vicente 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2019 They're ok, not anything outstanding, actually kind of lacking in the jacket department as well as anything with a hood is too hot to wear most of the time at least in the canvas. I have a pair of pants my brother gave me, they're ok but from past experience working with other people who bought carhartt I expect them to last half as long as my 20$ jeans from Ross.

CasualAngler 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2019 Worked in Construction for 10 years. Wore Carhartt's most of the time because they were durable, comfortable and did the job. A local Surplus store always having them on Sale helped, too. The kicker? Wearing blanket quilted, insulated Carhartt's whilst Ice Fishing in -15° temps. Stayed nice & toasty, & never got cold. But, once they were washed a few times, they seemed to lose some of their oomph. So... I stopped washing them. I figured they were good, once they started to stand on their own, without any visible means of Support. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dominecker 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2019 I live in Carhartt stuff most of the time, and have for most of my life, since wearing the original bibs for busting briars while coon and rabbit hunting as a teenager. Add in several decades of working outside, and it's a no-brainer. It's tough, long-lasting, and fits right. Jeans, canvas britches, jacket, fleece hoodie, insulated and uninsulated bibs, t-shirts, and even got a Carhartt belt on right now. I buy it and use it because it works for what I need and survives my life of working and playing outdoors 7 days a week, and other stuff just doesn't. My favorite thing they have came out with in the last few years are the Force tshirts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I initially thought they would be the perfect cold weather, sit around the campsite after fishing jacket. The problem I had was with the cheep metal zippers that seem really outdated and always bind. If these jackets had a more modern nylon zipper, like a YKK, I would give them two thumbs up. Instead, I ended up donating my jacket to Goodwill.
