Carhartt Should Be Embarrassed!

Get some high quality hand made leather goods that aren't embarrassing here - bit.ly/44jXLNu
Carhartt Boot Review - Carhartt is known for their workwear overalls, jackets, coats, pants and boots but recently they have become more popular in the fashion industry with everyone wearing their Carhartt beanie and overalls (including me). Has Carhartt turned into a fast fashion brand? If not, these boots are a step in that unfortunate direction.

When workwear becomes trendy, quality goes down and prices go up.

The funny thing is that most people who use workwear as a trend have probably never even worked a hard day in their life and because they want to look cool it can effect the rest of us that do need those items for work.

[@bluegrassman3040]

@Captain MufDyven Carhartt has pretty much outsourced their clothing during the last 10 years or so. I worked at their large warehouse in Hanson, KY back in 2005-2006, and before I left they closed their last cutting facilities down in the USA. They also started their women’s clothing line and a line of boots, back about that time. I think someone else makes the boots and puts their name on them. I still wear some Carhartt jackets and bib overalls in the winter, but I work in a large auto plant so I don’t really abuse my winter wear, but man I wished they still were made in the US.

So I used to work at Carhartt and one major thing to note is that they don't actually make the boots that they sell.

I still stand by Carhartt's clothes but most of the accessories are pawned out to a cheap third party maker.

[@danielleflorack7616]

That makes a lot more sense.

It struck me a little bit odd that a otherwise pretty good brand would have really bad quality boots but a worse third party companies making the boots explains it well

[@jaime_lee_g]

@Right Round This is true about factories in general. But in terms of being made by a 3rd party I believe what Austin is referring to is that a separate US company is in charge of the overall design, development, etc. And carhart then just slaps their label on it. Most US companies develop their own product and work with the factories overseas to have it built to their specifications.

[@ckm-mkc]

That's no excuse. At some point in a companies' supply chain, everything comes from 3rd parties as almost no company nowdays has full vertical integration. Companies that care about quality will make sure all their suppliers are delivering up to their standards, even when they are sourcing in China from ODMs. I seriously doubt that Carhartt owns most (any?) of their production facilities given the volume they sell. And, in my experience, most brands have ODMs pitch them products all the time, it's up to the brand to demand goods that live up their brand promise. Clearly Carhartt has chosen profit margin over brand value - this is conscious decision, not a fluke. Just because it is made in China (or anywhere else in the 3rd world) doesn't mean it has to be crap - it is up to the buyer to specify and pay for the quality they want - if you buy cheap, you will get cheap crap. Factories in the US are plenty capable of making cheap crap if that's what buyers want....

[@jeffmitchell72]

Thank you Austin I knew the boots were 3rd party, but having brand confirmed is nice. As for clothing I guess my question wouldn't be if it is good. I guess it'd be if it is as good as it used to be, and how far back your knowledge goes. I feel like they sell something not as good as it used to be @ a higher price. (still good, but not as good)

Paid $166 for my first and last pair of Carhart boots. After 3 months the soles were soft enough to push upward with my thumb approx. 1/2" to 5/8" . Walking over rocks, you could feel anything 3/4" to 1-1/2" like you could wearing cheap tennis shoes.

[@barnanimal30]

$155 for a poorly made shoe? I could swallow some crap leather and glue and regurgitate a better product....

This is what happens when you get greedy and give permission to the Chinese to manufacture your products.

[@johnwade1095]

They make black market product on production tooling

[@MonoGmc]

Chinese products are never good quality 👎👎

[@bbbildhuu]

They didn’t give permission, it was a decision by Carhart to cheap out. China didn’t fuck you over they did.

[@tinetannies4637]

@@bbbildhuu 100%. And China is capable of very high quality. Like whether you like iPhone or not, they're definitely high quality & they're made in China. But if you ASK China to make things on the cheap like Carhartt is, that's what you'll get. People rag on China when much of the time it's Western companies trying to give their customers as little as possible while charging as much as possible. If Carhartt asked for higher quality and was willing to pay for it, that's what China would give them.

[@RyTrapp0]

@@tinetannies4637 Absolute truth. The politically obsessed/jingoists won't like hearing this, but the cold hard fact is that China is at THE forefront of manufacturing technology, capability, and quality potential - and, frankly, that shouldn't be some great revelation. What, you think the country that is undebatably the manufacturing epicenter of the world isn't investing into IMPROVING their industry so that they can maintain their leadership? Don't be so naive.

Classic case of a great company watering down the soup for short term profits at the expense of their reputation. Short term shareholder value seeking is going to put more companies out of business. Once you abuse that trust, it is not coming back.

I got a Hoody from them about a year ago. Because i needed something rain proof... Glad to know i should just stick with the hoodies

I stumbled upon this video and use to own a pair of these so I decide to watch. This video explains a lot about my experience wuth these! I normally wear Georgias or Ariats but decided to try these Carhartt wedge style and they were comfy for the first little bit then my heels started hurting So bad, like physical pain walking around. I bought another pair of Georgia's, threw these in the trash and never looked back!

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

Great analysis! 👍

[@bas.artistry]

I hate how brands sometimes get popular and as a knee-jerk reaction they mark up their prices and lower the quality... I feel like this also happened to Champion, they used to be sold at Kmart and now their shirts are at Nordstrom for $35.

[@jambajoby32]

@Phillip Chun Right!!? They used to be the brand of the poor

[@pizza7738]

Champion was a brand that would see you get bullied at school for wearing it. I bought some of the reverse weave t shirts and they weren't great after a few washes.

[@NatalieValentina6]

Champion sweatshirts USED to be around $40 30 yrs. ago...I don't know if the company got sold off, or what, but suddenly they flooded the market with inferior products & secondary lines sold at discount stores. Now, with the return of all things 90's, they became popular again. I don't know if their current quality matches their pricing though...

[@johnschunk3412]

Had a chain of stores in the northwest called GI Joes. Loved to shop there until they chased the yuppie dollars and got to good for their loyal customers. They've been out of business quite a few years now🤔

[@eupel1]

I discovered the Carhartt brand about 20 years ago when I was given a pair of jeans from a rep for the company. Loved em. Because of that I bought a Carhartt ranger jacket that I still have. Great jacket. I obviously have purchased a few other bits over the years. I didn’t know they were a workwear brand until a pal told me (I’m from the UK so had no idea), always thought they were a fashion brand. It looks like even as a fashion brand they’ve lost their way

I’m 57, been wearing Carhartt brand clothing, coats, jackets and hats since the was 16. They consist 85% of my entire wardrobe. Over these years the Carhartt quality has been going down and the prices have gone way high. I’m not at all surprised by what you found in these boots. I don’t know who is running the company today but that person needs to go. Quality, comfort, durability, fit and materials have been downgraded and the prices keep climbing for these made overseas in third world nations. Their legacy and reputation don’t seem to be important today.
