[@sebp400]

yeah, but the WIP collection is so expensive.

Use to be a Dickies dude until I tried Carhartt. The little details matter! Carhartt is really worth the extra money in the long run. Plus they are friendly to us tall fat dudes. Great video boss!

[@presterjohn71]

The reality is that Dickies is always on sale somewhere and Carhartt rarely is. When money is tight, what are you going to do spend $40 for a jacket or $100?

[@northwestgardener5076]

Dickies is always better

[@peterv1318]

Northwest Gardener - yes they are. Sizes actually fit. Carhartt has off sizing the XL isn’t like any other XL.

[@chrisgullett4332]

Not sure if you've heard of Sierra Trading Post, but you can find Carhartt cheaper there than anywhere, Dickies too. I literally just bought 2 pair of Dickies coveralls the other day for $35, and the actual price is over $90. Just go to Sierra dot com. Dickies is a lot cheaper on Sierra.

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

Lots of brands have a wacky notion of what an ideal fit is. Carhartt thinks you either have a gigantic gut or are wearing a dozen insulating layers underneath your jacket.

[@kylekayser2291]

You might also add plans on putting a backpack under the coat too much extra fabric on the mid back.

[@peterv1318]

The pant legs on carharrt are lot wider than other pants. It makes them look funny when you are wearing them.

[@abrahamlange7306]

Also Carhartt's clothes never fit short people - 5'7 here and it's pretty sparse

[@jessemcnutt7852]

They don't offer much for a medium tall. Most of their clothing line starts at large tall. I fall in the same category, medium size but after a few washings, my shirts are belly shirts and large is awkwardly big to wear.

[@justinlong271]

Idk about vests but they do have jackets in medium tall

[@leesuschrist]

I've worn Dickies work pants for the past 13 years working as a machinist. My last pair that I purchased I noticed that they changed their fabric of ALL their pants and not for the better. It feels a lot thinner to the point where they almost fell like dress pants. I might be switching to a different brand soon.

[@coreyd5329]

I know exactly what you mean. They also used to be thick and crisp and basically stand up on their own for a couple months even after washing. Now they are just thin right from the start. They still fit the same but they definitely changed the fabrics.

[@unknownff15]

I’ve always loved carhartt because of my dad. Used to buy their stuff when I was younger and worker as a commercial building mover. Now that I’m blue collar, I still go back to them because workwear has exploded in streetwear recently. Kinda cool to see them cater to other markets like their WIP lines.

[@Jammerjim]

In Cheyenne Wyoming here. Was 100% Carhartt, then discovered Duluth. Quality is no comparison Duluth all the way

Dickies jackets are sold in walmart. Which means your lucky to get 1-2yrs out of them depending on your line of work. I've worn carhartt for 25yrs & I'm only on my 3rd jacket. Outdoor construction & driving a truck. Carhartt 100%

[@ricardocavazos4061]

Walmart's Dickies jacket's are purchase by bulk .... Dickies Originally brand only by Walmart ... price point $$ you know the story of economic's ... quality's it's ok too .... But if you ever have a chance to visit any of the Dickies Corporate Stores or web side ... you will absolutely be convinced how better they are ... Dickies are own know by Carhartt Corp. Both are great !!!

[@JohnSmith-ot9sc]

Walmart doesn't sell authentic dickies (aside from dickies 874 pant) They sell a brand called "genuine dickies" and the products look very similar but the quality isn't the same.

[@blakeumthun8128]

In 20+ years in the construction trades... I have owned 2 Carhartt work jackets and 2 pairs of bibs. I still own both jackets (one of which I bought as a 3rd yr apprentice 19 years ago, the other is over 10 years old) and a pair of bibs (19 years old). The only reason I bought a 2nd pair of bibs is because I caught the leg on fire cutting steel pipe as an idiot apprentice. I owned 1 Dickies coat that lasted less than 2 years. Carhartt Wins, Hands Down!!!

I’ve got a 15 year old Dickies brown duck jacket I just can’t kill but have got quite a few Carharrt items, including rip-stop pants. They’re both great brands. Went in between both of them and bought a Gibson canvas jacket that’s unbelievably warm. Good catch on the knitted cuffs - they do wear but then again my Dickies jacket has gotten a bit worn down all over from constant use. Their canvas carpenter pants are good value too. Great video!

@@CarlMurawski i still haven't even worn it yet lol

[@Jonnyfixedgear]

I can definitely see a difference in the jackets. And around here Carhartt is what most guys wear. I'm a fan of the Dickies cotton duck carpenter pants over the similar Carhartt. Nothing wrong with the Carhartt's just don't fit me as well. There is a difference between the black tag Dickies made in Mexico or Honduras vs the red tag ones at Walmart. Definitely better off going to the local farm store and getting the black tag model for a couple dollars more.

[@TheDieseldog]

Diesel mechanic here. I’m Carhartt all the way. I do have one dickies Eisenhower jacket I wear occasionally, but not for work. My hooded Carhartt and my Carhartt Detroit are my go to coats. Great vid!

[@CarlMurawski]

Much appreciated man! In my mechanic days we had those terrible Red Kap uniforms which would light on fire whenever we welded. Plus their jackets were just lightly quilted polyester and weren't good below 40 degrees, which made me get my first Carhartt jacket. Dickies is great and if you work in an especially dirty industry they might be a better buy, but if you keep your clothing for a few years I think Carhartt is better overall.

[@robertreisner6119]

Hello from Alaska, I use Dickies work slacks, Woolrich shirt over my long johns. Soft socks, insulated Carhart overalls and coat. Fur hat, arctic expo mittens, and insulated boots. Snow plowing, and many other outside duties here. Works well enough for comfort and protection.

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΔημητρακοπουλος-ε9ζ]

Working outside and by the sea,I really needed a warm workwear jacket.First i bought Dickies Portland which is poly flannel exterior and poly padded quilt inside for 35 usd.I was amazed how warm this thing was in temperatures between 40 and 50F.But I wanted an upgrade since it started showing some tear and wear so i ended up buying Carhartt Traditional Sandstone jacket with arctic quilt lining for 140 usd.Fit was perfect so is the looks.But..it's not as warm as the flannel dickies one which really disappointed me.I probably blame the sandstone duck cotton exterior which even though is much more tough against abrasion,doesn't seem to provide enough insulation against constant blowing cold sea breeze.I know that they 're not comparable not even close.Carhartt is a proper-proper jacket with excellent details and stitching and Portland Dickies is a flannel shirt-jacket.But because of the "field testing"results i ended up wearing the carhartt on all other occasions but not at work.. Your videos are great and a very useful guide for all who work or do stuff outdoors

The attention to detail/features or hidden features in the these videos is killer these are the best comparisons/reviews.

[@scinto23]

I like Carhartt but I've always worn a regular non hooded Dickies work jacket and will continue. The sleves being slightly shorter make it easier to work on equipment/vehicles without the cuffs getting filthy.

not a hipster thing. I bought trendy carhartt items in a more fashionable store in the late 90's. I was a teen into drum & bass going to raves wearing those.. now I work using the same type of clothes...It's just that now they have the WIP line which so fucking expensive and they sell at streetwear stores. Same thing with Dickies. All the indy kids as well as hiphop heads used to wear those in the 90's. Hipsters never discovered shit.

[@jaekamacho1416]

ive mostly always used dickies uniforms and have always loved the Eisenhower jacket, last yr i bought a dickies rigid duck blanket lined jacket that looks very similar to my older Detroit jacket, paid under $40 for it and honestly if it wasn't for the logo tags, i wouldn't be able to tell them apart even the blanket lining has the same feel and look, so that was a surprise to me. But i do love my carhartt active jackets, got one in thermal, one in quilted nylon and one in sherpa lining, also have my chore coat which looks great on the weekends, my double front work pants are still solid as hell too. i grew up with dickies and still every day use it as part of my uniform, but it doesn't compare to the quality of them U.S made carhartts!

[@realnewsthatmatters9319]

I've worn Dickie my whole life, I bought carhartt for the first time just recently. The differences between the two were obvious to me from the start. And I can tell you without hesitation that carhartt is definitely a better product. And well worth the extra money. I'll never go back to Dickie. Dickie used to make a good product, but it seems that over the years the quality has diminished. I guess that's what happens when you start producing your products in China.

Because they make them in china? Or because the material is different and not as great?

And the Carhartt is much nicer than the job issued Dickies jackets.

[@RossBoss90]

13 years ago I got the Dickie jacket from Walmart when I was 17/18. It was super cheap and just needed a winter jacket for work as a general labour. I've since retired the jacket to an outdoor home work jacket since I have to wear FR. Ive had the jacket for for almost 13 years and it is finally starting to wear out. Their are a few small small holes in the shoulder and the cuffs are starting to fray. Back then the quality was much higher and had a pen pocket and better stitching etc. When i rebuy a new work jacket I'll be getting a Carhartt.

[@Cuppabeers]

I wear dickies trousers and carhartt tops. Both are great quality. I think these videos really help people decide which will suit them better for there use. I use them as everyday use as they are affordable and long lasting. Great for everyday use and work purposes.

[@ChrisLoganToronto]

Glad to see the updates on the Carhartt. I think this is the jacket I had while working on the Rail Road. I worked out of Toronto where it is cold and very damp. The coat was warm. The exposed cuffs did wear badly around the wrists and a bit around the waist. The thing I hated was the waist cuff. Any big movements, like climbing ladders on rail cars had it climb up your torso, leaving you exposed. I currently have a Carhartt Full Swing Relaxed Fit Insulated Coat. I love it. Unfortunately, the YKK zipper has a crooked tooth at the very bottom and it gives me problems. Have to see about a replacement zipper. BTW, square zipper on this one.

Duluth offers medium tall in almost everything they offer which is important to me. That being said, I purchased the DTC Superior Fire Hose Hooded Jacket last year and It is worth every penny paid ($179.99). I'm a fabrication painter and wear quite a bit of equipment for 12-16 hours so comfort is a priority. Anyone who has worn the Duluthflex fire hose canvas pants knows how comfortable and tough they are. The jacket is no different.

[@tiptopdadddy]

I wear both and have for years. The Dickies insulated vest is more functional (zippered breast pocket) and true to size. I have worn mine for 10 years and it’s begun to get pretty ratty. I tried on a Carhartt insulated vest in the same size as my chore coat (XL) the vest was VERY SMALL, more like a medium. Carhartt is better quality for the most part but that is offset by their BIZARRE SIZING. Carl you should do a video of Carhartt shirts, jackets, vests to compare just how much sizes can vary. Dickies sizing is more consistent but quality is slightly lower.

i've been a loyal Dickie's customer for over 13 years, but i'm switching to Carhartt in the future & probably not gonna go back. i probably owned 30+ Dickie's garments in the past 13 years, including pants, shirts, outerwear. i must say, they are not really comfortable, but because they are very durable & care-free & very cheap, i still chose Dickie's. but in recent years, i witnessed the gradual deterioration in their quality. the final strew that broke my loyalty is the extremely poor stitching on their hook & loop patches. last year i bought a pair of shorts, the hook & loop patch on the shorts' thigh pocket was torn off within 2 weeks of use. this year, i bought the Dickie's Pro Cordura bomber jacket & the inner pocket's hook & loop patch was torn off after 2 USES. FUCKING. 2. USES. on a Dickie's "Pro" garment. you call this durable workwear? this is just absurd.

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

I'm an electrician in commercial construction and I use both brands. For winter or outside work, or if I'm on the floor (literally) all day then it's Carhartt work pants or overalls because the padded knees and bulletproof materials. But in the summer or if I'm inside, I wear Dickies slim fit pants (after 10 years the only issue is how they look. Some industrial adhesives just don't come out) and lightweight jacket. Carhartt has nothing for summer and it's all heavy duty which is tiring up and down 3, 4 or 8 flights of stairs all day. Over 10 you get an elevator, so think of walking up and down up to 9 flights in that jacket 15 or 20 times a day. I'm not loyal, I'm practical. Edit: Milwaukee has some heated vests and jackets that are amazing. Nothing is worse than working outside all day, out in the elements and the electric jackets make it much nicer.

Thats a good point, and the price per wear is low with that cost. If you get especially dirty at work or maybe your clothes only last a season maybe Dickies is a better option. For $28 how could you go wrong?

[@Jason-zw2dg]

@@CarlMurawski also i get the rustler brand jeans from Walmart and wear them for work. They're less than $10 a pair and last about a year and a half. Basically free work pants

[@StivNagen]

Dickies jeans also have fewer belt loops than Carhartt, but the biggest difference I've found in the two brands is in their hooded sweatshirts. The Dickies brand the back always shrinks after washing and exposes your back, even in the supposed "tall" sizes.

I've have the dickies hooded shirt jacket for a few year. Used in every season when cold enough. The jacket may be a little heavy but it is duck canvas with insulated inside. Paid about 70 for it. Would recommend for others to pick one up. Extremely warm and durable

I have a cathart western style over shirt jacket , made of black and beige duck cotton that I used working on an old volunteer job at a warehouse and it hasn't even got a hole in it yet.

[@mortenolsen1111]

I've been wearing Carhartt since I were in 3rd grade in public school, I love it, I won't wear anything else... Carhartt is my brand, and I'm loyal to the bone...♥️🤓

Alpha Industries M 65 jacket ,also good workjacket !!

[@cypress1334]

Good video, I usually stick with Dickies, but this Carhartt Jacket is definitely more premium

[@SaudadeSunday]

Carhartt for jackets, Dickies for pants.

[@MattMorris481]

I use to be a lineman, love these jacks only mine had to be FR I still buy them even though I don’t work anymore.

[@eugenejackson9956]

The only people I knew that wore Dickies were nurses ,janitors that work in hospitals and boiler room engineers...

[@CarlMurawski]

Hahaha I know exactly what you're talking about: the brown pants and work shirt combo.

[@juliomendoza9882]

Hello Carl, I would like to get more information on trade school, your video from the past really intrigued me.

[@birdlandbill7867]

Hi Carl. Learning a lot from your videos about real work clothes. Speaking of which, I see you like the Carhartt Cryder. Sounds good, but I'm wondering how snag and tear resistant it is? I work pretty much every day (including MN winters) in the woods clearing buckthorn trees. Pretty gnarly tree. I'm inclined to go with the Active Jacket. However, also like having a little length to jacket to provide more protection to midsection when reaching/bending. Your thoughts most appreciated.

[@milolabrett6549]

Carhartt is just a better engineered product in all items in the Hard Finish Brown Black also The Extremes Ballistic Nylon line. All the small details add up fast for value. I have a pair of Heavy Duty YKK Double Zip to Hip Extremes Ballistic Nylon Bib Overalls that have an insane amount of special features. The Double Zip system allows you to get into your pants pockets easily and allows you to take the bibs off with out removing your Boots for starters, but also has button down wind flap that I only when on my Motorcycle. Definitely the Shizzle for Bibs. I wear a pair of Hiking shorts under them since they are too warm with pants in Arctic environmental temps and zippers don’t freeze up. The Hard Finished Jackets and Coats do come in tall sizes that you might have to special order from dealers. I prefer tall size at 6Ft. in Carhartt Jackets.

[@CarlMurawski]

An interesting point about that Extremes Ballistic Nylon: Carhartt does extensive testing and couldnt wear through that stuff with their abrasives!

[@milolabrett6549]

@@CarlMurawski The Balistic Nylon or Cordura that they use in the Extremes is 1500 Denier, which is a measurement of thickness or density of thread count I believe. For example Klim, which is high End Motorcycle Gear use 800 D to 1000D Cordura. So Carhartt Extremes are for Extreme conditions, but also on Extreme end of Denier scale.

[@jimperry4420]

Always bought carhart until this year when my arctic zone zipper died. 2nd winter and it’s junk.....

[@ricardocavazos4061]

Jim .... you have life time warranty on that jacket like them craftsman tools No question ask ... plus u will get a new one ... best of luck !!!

[@jeffleblanc8850]

Ricardo Cavazos I don’t know were you live but I’ve never seen lifetime warranty the cause I’ve never seen it if you buy at TSC or marks workwear house who carries them in Canada I’m pretty sure they will not exchange cause broken zippers a year later or ratty sleeves from repetitive driving rubbing on steering wheel so I don’t know that triple stitching in the sleeves is shit mine are the heavey insulated artic zone garbage zippersmand sleeves in a year and a half for me in Canada

[@johnelledge6574]

Wow! Really enjoyed this detailed video.

[@eviljoker303]

Walls for me .I’ve had my Walls Workwear jacket for 4 years bought at Walmart on clearance and has held up very well.I had a Carhartt but sold it it just didn’t fit me as well as the Walls .If you need a affordable work jacket at a great price,get a Walls 👍

[@gregoriojuarez1579]

I have Dickies shirts and Carhartt shirts. My dickies shirts faded quickly, after 4 washes. Carhartt shirts didn't fade, half a year with them and they look like new. I use them for work and fashion. I pair them with Levi's 501 Jean's and some thorogood moc toes and bam!

[@RodneyNicotine]

Just discovered this channel today and I think I have a new favorite YT channel. All videos are about the stuff that I like. Guy shit. Carhartt is the 🐐 BTW.

[@michaeltheewolf]

Nothing beats Carhartt!! …but Dickies does have the matching shirt and pants sets 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@cabbyhubby]

I like my Dickies "Bus Driver" jacket , Im a carpenter and the short jacket let's me get into my pouch better than a long one.

[@multitaskgamerpro6980]

Which one is the bis driver jacket?

[@cabbyhubby]

@@multitaskgamerpro6980 .... That's what I call it anyway, I think they call it Eisenhower, blue nylon, zipper only, short lightweight jacket, im in Texas, we never see snow or really cold weather here

[@cabbyhubby]

No , I was wrong, Dickies calls it the Lined Team jacket

[@doester423]

I'm not too familiar with Car harrt, but I could say that Dickies last longer if/when you tuck your shirt in and not allow your shirt to rub against your pants/shorts. I'm a truck driver and have Dickie everything, replace the shirts and pants maybe once a year

[@regjarrett]

What do you think of Dri Duck jackets? Have you ever tried them? I am looking at their Maverick or Force Bomber jacket. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
