Carhartt Review, Duck Canvas Review

After 5 years of use, I give some thoughts on the Carhartt Duck Canvas Sherpa Lined Work Coat.
It's served me well over the years and Carhartt has added a few touches that make this work jacket an easy grab for fall, winter, or on cool summer nights.

Thx for the info. On the coat Zack crafted.. I'm going to look into these coats.. but not good in wet weather is a drawback ?

Hi Zack. i have a quastion for you regarding resiliant channel. I watch your video installing them. So getting to the point. I drywalled my basement with 5/8 inch sheetrock walls and the ceiling plus resilient channel on the ceiling. I regret not installing resilient channel on my walls. is it ok to install them between two layers of drywall now? will it still work? what is your thought on that thanks

[@zackcrafted]

Hi there, Good question. I don’t see it being a problem, adding resilient over the existing drywall, as long as the resilient you add does into the framing, not just the drywall. This would help with sound deadening for sure, could also just double up the 5/8ths so there’s 1 1/4” of drywall, that also helps a lot

[@januszwrobel1166]

Hi! thank you for the reply. it is not a problem for me as well. but i did some research on that and some of the people claim that adding resilient channel on top of the existing drywall diminishes effectiveness of the channels because it is place on the sheetrock directly. what do you think? thanks

I have the same. Old edition with leather label. But for me this jacket is not work wear, more of a casual jacket.

Do you have a better jacket suggestion for work wear along the same general look?

[@user-ue1nq8pm1t]

@@liberals_destroy_everythin2497 Now I wear layers of clothing for cold conditions. The first layer is a polartec 100 or 200 jacket. The second layer is a jacket with synthetic insulation (the best Arcteryx Atom hooded). The third layer is an anorak made of durable canvas. This works for me. I can add a base layer of Polartec PowerStretch and make it even warmer. This way I always stay dry and warm. I also find it easier to wash my outer jacket. Perhaps the view is not as cool as in Carhartt, but in the forest no one cares about me))

I bought a pair of Carhartt work pants and they didn't even last a year before the ass got a rip in it and the main button/clasp (the thing above the fly) popped off.

[@zackcrafted]

Oh that’s crappy, I bought this jacket used too, so it’s probably closer to 10 years old, wouldn’t surprise me if the quality has gone down over the last few years

[@classCexplosive]

@@zackcrafted I have heard that. At some point they started having most of their stuff made in other countries, I think Vietnam and Mexico are the main 2. You can still get good quality stuff made there, but I think the quality control is lacking so lower quality products make it through more often. I think some of their coats are still made in the US.

[@liberals_destroy_everythin2497]

What was the size of the pants and what is your waist size? Did they feel snug when you wore them just walking about?

[@classCexplosive]

@@liberals_destroy_everythin2497 they fit just a little loose, as that's how I like my pants.
