Reply to comment by _SlowRain_ in Which of the international clothing brands have durable quality? by _SlowRain_
I dont know, sorry. I just looked up carhartt wip and i guess its a european market offshoot that started making their own clothes in 1994. So its carhartt in name but im not sure if its the same stuff.

I like the LL bean chamois shirts, they were constructed of an 8oz cotton fabric, it might not be 8oz any more though.
Carhart double front loggers and duluth firehose pants have been go to work pants in my industry, but the secret truth is the dickies double fronts last just as long if not longer. I still have a pair of dickies pants and workshirt from my first year on the job that have lasted longer than half a dozen pairs of carharts. I also have a coleman shirt that has lasted me forever, but i dont know what its called or where to get another. Oh, Key and Hickory are another two brands ive found to be really affordable and make good work clothes.
Ive also had great luck with the 5.11 ripstop tac pant, but beware, i blew out the crotch of a non-ripstop pair right away.
In summary: LL bean, carhart, duluth, 5.11 are solid and will run ~$60 in the USA. But dickies, key, and hickory will get you just as far imo for half the price.

We say trip acid in my circle, but regardless their post is really wierd and just screamed bullshit the other 4 times they posted it too. And their defence being "is it reallly that unbelievable?" Is the nail in the coffin for me. Dudes just trying to farm karma on a cool story
"Theyre hacking our brains man"
...buddy, ive never even been on tiktok. Maybe theres your solution.
