Carr hart went down the drain when the hipsters got hold of it and made it a fashion statement. Went to their store in Italy recently and the quality did not seem like it use to.

I’ve heard that overseas WIP stuff is horrible, which sucks because I feel like Carhartt, as an iconic American brand, should represent American toughness and quality manufacturing, not shitty American manufacturing

Latest pants we got from them were not made in US and also developed holes crazy fast.

The only pants they still make here are the duck double front pants, the non stretch ones.

That is exactly what we buy. And last four pairs have been made overseas. The rugged flex are not even worth considering.

It’s not just the overseas stuff. They sold out years ago, have friends in the biz that have confirmed the same. Once they got a taste of the money that could be made catering to this counter culture lifestyle they were like, well.
