I’ve worked in Carhartt work wear for over 40 years. From my first job as a boilermaker apprentice to my last job as a coal miner I have always been lucky with this brand of clothes. In fact my daughter used to tease me about having a Carhartt fetish because that is what she saw me wearing nearly every day of my life. The funny thing is I have given my less worn items to my son who has a similar build to me and has a small farm (but is a high school history teacher). He swears by his bibs as the best clothing for chores around his farm. And I admit that I get a little wistful when I see him chopping wood or running the tractor while wearing my old work clothes.

Heritage style: durable casual clothing Workwear: durable clothes to work in Wearing heritage clothing doesn’t make you a hipster. Most people just want durable clothes that will last awhile. Why can’t we just appreciate that people can wear what they want? When i get off of work I take of my dirty double fronts, shower, then put on some selvedge denim and iron rangers and take my wife out to dinner. I respect both styles, it’s not that hard.

As someone who is 6' tall and (when I was doing construction atleast) was 150 lbs, all these slim cut clothes actually fit me with full range of motion. Normal clothes were always too baggy for me. Its the difference of fitting correctly vs falling off of me in some cases. More expensive, but if it actually fits, it may be worth it? Different perspective I guess. 🤷♂️
@rumplefourskin67753 жыл бұрын
I've found they don't limit my mobility at all either and I'm a little over 180 pounds. I find medium is too short and large is too baggy so if I can find medium tall I'm always so happy. Heritage clothing, because it is cut slimmer, fits me way better in general. Usually when I'm buying sweaters and denim jackets I buy them in medium now and they fit me fine.

LC King is workwear, just not with a modern cut or using modern material mixes. They’ve become insta darlings in the last number of years and offer different lines for that crowd. Mixing materials in clothing and footwear makes them much harder to recycle or break down into usable components, and I know that regular cotton and leather are huge pollution problems in their growing and processing but at least end of life scenarios won’t extend over millennia as they break down. Another thing; relatively speaking practically all consumer goods are way cheaper than they used to be, we just buy more of everything and repair less.

I work as a professional chef, and now that I've moved up from line cook I'm allowed to incorporate a little of my own style into my uniform. I went for some moc toe boots, a nice fade, and some nice canvas/duck aprons. It's all utilitarian stuff, built for work, but still more stylish than the rubber clogs and baggy parachute pants most folks wear in the kitchen. I honestly hate the look of a lot of the higher end culinary apparel, and a lot of it isn't even that practical in my view. So I like that old school work wear gives me stuff that does what I need it to while also letting me look sexy on the job. I work 50+ hours a week, why look like shit that whole time?

Don’t write off all “heritage” for work, sometimes, that high quality makes a huge difference, and justifies the price.

Sounds like you're sort of talking about the fit of the garments. Keep in mind, back in previous decades all clothes were made slim, or "true to size". Something happened in the 1980's clothes started to get bigger to accommodate growing American waistlines due to the advent of fast /processed foods. Problem was the size labels pretty much stayed the same. Personally, I'm thankful most designers went back to "true to size" because that's what fits me the best. It's also what fits the majority of people in the world.

Ok, there is clearly a difference between european and american workwear. Because here carhartt would be considered hipster clothes, and something no serious craftsman would wear. Usually the workwear companies here market the clothes not to individual consumers, but directly to the employer, or stores specializing in workwear. Often the workplace is required to provide work clothes, especially if high-vis or other protective clothes are required. Work pants here usually consists of pants made of cordura or some other hard wearing fabric, flame retardent, pockets for knee-pads inserts, and those external pockets hanging on the outside. If it's not high-vis it's usually blue or black. Never seen someone use anything like carhartt in a situation that would require workwear.

I like the look of some heritage style clothing. I got some from my Paw when he passed away, and some from my dad when I moved. But, the workwear of today does allow for me freedom of movement. I have a Carhartt full-swing coat that I love. I typically combine it with my bibs in winter time or with my fleece lined pants if it's a bit nippy out. However, I got a jacket from my paw, forget the brand, that I love wearing more than anything. It's a "winter" jacket that I usually use with a pullover or a vest. But it has buttons, and no gussets, etc. Very stiff feeling. Love it though. It can be worn casual, but it was designed for work when he worked in the trades. Now, my other favorite coat is an older style that would be considered heritage. Got it as a gift from an exes dad. Not sure it's a thing, but he called it a dock jacket as it was mostly worn by dock workers and on boats in the day. He got it handed down to him. While it does zip, it doesn't have a lot of maneuvering capability. No gussets, it's stiff, and has a button up flap that covers the zipper. But again, I love it and do tend to wear it more than my Carhartt.

Definitely crossover. Iron Heart began as a brand seeking to solve the problems of motorcyclists. They’re one of the few brands that do both very well (albeit at a price).

Hey, I know you have negative opinions on anything in Filsons catalog that isn't mackinaw wool, but is there any of their flannels that seem to be a good deal to you? They have a $100 shirt that I'd love to hear your opinions on known as the "Field Flannel Shirt".
@gsdlvr1233 жыл бұрын
I'm not Carl but my son owns several of these shirts. They are a nice shirt - a bit pricey, and not USA made (that is a good way to tell the better Filson Products - Tin Cloth and Mackinaw Wool are still great). I've been wearing Filson items for 25-30+ years. The Field Flannel shirt is a nice weight (beefy but does not weigh you down) and it holds up well. We own a horse farm and my son wears them as he works around the property. I think the shirt would be a good price if it was 50 - 60 bucks. If you buy it on Moosejaw they will (usually) give you 10% in Moose Bucks (can be used for future purchases) and they also give 20% off for Military Discount - for us that makes it a decent value. The shirt runs true to size - most of the Filson USA made products run large.

@@gsdlvr123 I bought quite a few different flannels lately and by far my favorite was the Carhartt one. That was versus Duluth, Filson and Legendary Whitetails( LW are terrible btw avoid them at all costs) I have come to the same conclusion Carl has, Filsons wool stuff is good, avoid the rest.

@@yeenosaur2620 we own a ton of Carhartt items - great for around the barn. In fact both my son and I have Carhartt seat covers (front and back) in our trucks. Filson is unfortunately going after the Hipster crowd...as a long time customer (early 80s)...I hate it. I still like their tin cloth, as well as Mackinaw Wool. We also have a bunch of luggage, field bags and a couple of briefcases....though most of those are very old. The Carhartt shirts / the heavy ones are great and Carhartt gives a great military discount (off their site)...I think 25%. They we’re running a great sale last week on the shirts (heavy weights) and with the discount they were about 20 bucks each!

One factor for me in choosing workwear is how it looks when it gets stained by work/paint/ mud. I like to be able to replace it when it starts looking too rough. Affordability means i can replace stained and worn clothes

I would think the thicker material of Carhartt would keep you warmer in the cold than thinner, softer material on the other. The skinny belt loops on the heritage pants are laughable!! At least they're wide enough for wider belts, which would be advisable for workmen.

This would’ve been better if you’d used a stupid brand like carhartt wip, a pair of carhartt pants on there are about £150 I’m not saying I like the wip because I hate the concept but it’s just stupid that people think these types of garments were made to skate or to wear because it looks edgy, no they’re made for work

Yeah I'm not a fan of WIP either. I tried to just use what I had available, but that would have been a good idea.

Just my two cents: workwear has become popular in skateboarding fashion because the garments last longer. Tell me a group of people that have a better relationship with slamming into concrete than skateboarders. They wear loose, cheap clothing because it's easier to move in and they are going to rip holes in the clothes.
