Why I Quit Wearing CARHARTT

[@eadgbefreak]

I brought a Carhartt insulated construction jacket in the late 90's, it lasted me ten years. I was happy with it. The around 2010 I brought a second on it lasted 2 years before it started to fall apart. Someone got greedy and there quality went into the toilet. Never again.

For the last seven or eight years I've been wearing the Duluth Trading Company's Fire Hose work pants. After becoming accustomed to having twelve pockets, I found myself in a quandary one evening. I'd recently met and began dating a young lady who I was head over heels for. She was an 11, perfect in every way. We were "going out" that evening and after having "discussed" my usual attire and my lack of style or fashion sense, she insisted that I "dress up" and kindly helped me pick an alternative outfit by leaving it laying on the bed. Not wanting to get into another "discussion" with her, I decided not to point out to her that it was FRIDAY and what she'd picked out was usually reserved for Sunday, and so I did what all men do when smitten - whatever she says. After showering, I put on my Sunday britches, followed by my belt (having slid my multi-tool on it), and then commenced to emptying the pockets of my Duluth's, transferring everything over to my britches and putting it all in their proper pockets. That's when I came to a hard realization...though I'd thought she was perfect, she was eight pockets shy of being my girlfriend.

This is what one of his top advisor, Ehrlichman has to say about it. “You want to know what this was really all about,” Ehrlichman, who died in 1999, said, referring to Nixon’s declaration of war on drugs. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying. We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.” There is debate on whether Ehrlichman statement over simplified the issue. That statement has been public for a while and there hasn't been much to refute that stance.

The crotch, pockets, and hemp material is superior to the duck. The overalls would still be going but I need to have the crotch repaired from a nail crawling in an attic. Not much you can do about that. They fit true to size for me. I order the overalls a size bigger like Carhartts because I like them a bit looser. I liked the top bib pocket on the overalls. it has a nice zipper pocket and the front pocket fit my iphone pro max with the otterbox defender.

I hope that people will realise that western goods made locally are worth the extra cash but a lot of people simply to not care.

I'm retired Army Aviation, but I won't spend the money for Nomex clothes, so I have found Wrangler rip-stop cargo shorts and pants work great for me. I wear them for nearly everything when I'm not in my pajamas. 😁🤣

[@kgriff087]

You were ahead of the curve Cody. Now you dont have to post a Carhartt burning video this (current) week. LOL

[@thriftshopinvestor]

It's also great to not have to think about what you're going to wear

[@vailmcc]

It’s my understanding everything Carhartt makes is now made in Mexico. The Blundstone boots I used to wear were made in Australia or Tasmania.. they’ve moved manufacturing to Viet Nam. The leather is thinner, and the quality just isn’t very good. Politics aside, Patagonia’s clothing have lifetime warranties. I’ve sent a few things back to them and they’ll either fix the item, or send you a new one.

[@whitacrebespoke]

They would need too they are £90 a pair here in U.K. my first couple of pairs of Carharrt shorts have worn through they are 4 years old but as you say made in Mexico. I may have to try the Patagonia’s now.

The first video I saw of yours was about the Ram Pump. I never looked back. Thank you for several years of solid, reliable, and entertaining content. I recently moved my family from "Wine country" to a new state to the north. I will be trying out some of the hemp clothing for the first time. The Wrangler and Carhartt jeans I have used for decades are getting noticeably less good, and noticeably more expensive! I hadn't considered hemp jeans until just now.

[@scottboivin8507]

Hey Cody, great episode. I was wondering if you could post some websites to find those pants and the other goodies. Marvelous job, thanks again for everything.

[@kohinarec6580]

It's a good idea to stock up. I have a favourite brand of socks I've used for 15 years. The manufacturer went bankrupt a year ago and I felt worried I'll never get those socks again. Luckily their production continued under a new owner.

[@cedricboivin9422]

Those pants look nice but at 79USD on their website before shipping, it must be close to a 1000 cad for 7. It is not what I would call a bargain 😅

[@MNDmanIII]

Duluth Trading Company has some of the toughest pants in their "firehose pants". I was a groundsman for 3 years cutting trees alternating 2 pairs of firehouse pants & i beat the heck out of them. Toughest pants I've ever owned & ended up getting a few more. As far as comfort, I think wranglerstar's may outperform the firehose pants but Duluth Trading Company also sells flexible pants & their famous ball room drawers.

[@jobamasux]

I stopped buying Carhart when they went woke! But thanks for steering me to hemp, I am interested in trying some clothing as you have made a good case for it!

[@JRDavis-hj4si]

Quit wearing Carhartt pants in the early 2000s. Still felt and looked good, but kept wearing out in the same spots. One thing I still do buy from them is their socks. Once I put them on I don’t want to take them off; feel so good. Of course they’re like 5 bucks a pair now, but worth it to me. Have them on right now.

Look into Darn Tough socks, made in VT and life time warranty. Best socks out there!!!!!

[@glennjames7107]

They are comfortable, and they wear well, but they get funky and without bleaching to kill the funk (not feasible with a colored sock) I don't know what to do with them. I've got a dozen or so pairs of them sitting in my drawer, fairly new and can't stand to wear them because they make my boots funky. Not an issue with good quality white socks, the brand I've been wearing has last me 3 years so far and still going strong. I bought two dozen more not long ago, in case I can't find them when I need more. They are by far the best socks I've ever owned, and they aren't really any more pricey than Hanes or Fruit of the Loom, which by the way are pure garbage anymore.

[@DoctorPrepperMD]

You always have to buy ahead now with our fashion society. By the time you realize how good a product is they discontinue it. LL Bean used to make great stuff but no longer. I have some work pants nearly 15 years old that still hold up. It was called “Katahdin Iron Works” but no longer. I even called to ask if they could source the fabric or repair mine but they said no more.

[@tylermallory2504]

Yep I found found that with boots, so now when I find a model I really like oi talk in my old set for repair and buy 2 new pairs. The last 3 boots I really liked they discontinued after about 5 years. I'll stop buying them when I have 10 pairs in reserve, I figure that will at least cover me for the next 25 years or so lol

[@tomst9417]

@@tylermallory2504 I was an LL Bean customer for nearly 40 years but no more. Their products' quality has declined and virtually everything they sell is made offshore, with much coming from China.

Older Carhartt is the only thing I wear. I bought around 10 pairs of pants and I still haven't worn 8 of them yet. They don't even have the same stitching as the new pants I saw at the ace near me.

[@doxx2265]

Thank you! I bought 6 pairs of the wrangler ATX pants and as a larger guy with tree trunk legs, it’s the only pant that fits properly (looks good, not baggy) but is also comfortable and stretches a bit to form fit. Very breathable.

[@verynearlypure]

@@doxx2265 They’re my favorite pant for the last few seasons. Their Outdoor line makes a really comfortable nylon/spandex pant that’s great for shoulder seasons, depending on your use. Great for hiking, camping, casual, etc. This is not a paid advertisement, lol. Style Number: NW780SM More breathable and comfortable, lightweight. Tougher shell: NS837PT Outdoor work in high grass summer time breathable. Also lightweight.

Don’t buy Patagonia. They are part of the woke community. A lot of their profits go towards the woke left agenda.

[@acidfuzzpedals9986]

Patagonia is great quality, but too expensive for many. Have you tried Key brand work pants? Key is affordable & durable. Key is also flared/boot cut. Makes working with tall boots easier & looks groovy. Double Knee Duck Dungarees & RipStop Double Knee Dungarees serve me well. The waist tends to run a little big. Really enjoy your channel & appreciate your honest criticism of experiences with the church & unprofessional police. 👍✌

[@jasonpark5692]

Had I known, I wouldn’t have bought a pair!

[@blazemaster83]

I grew up in the 90s wearing carhartt for work wear and it was great. Nowadays a pair of the double knee work pants lasts about 6 months then they fall apart. I decided to try a pair of the patagonia double knee pants and I've worn them 3 days at my job. They seem great but only time will tell. Now if they would only make an insulated pair like fleece or flannel lined.

[@DanoFSmith-yc9tg]

Years ago I bought a pair of double front carhartt pants and a pair of dickies classic work pants with cargo pockets, on the same day, I wore one pare one week straight, then the next week I’d switch. The carhartt lasted about 5 years or so, while I still have the dickies today, they are basically done now, holes everywhere, but they out lived the carhartts by about 10 years, doing the exact same work, and they had one less layer of material on them.

[@Leggir]

I only buy Anson Belt, the ratchet is so awesome as it's always the perfect fit. Wear it everywhere, even at work for light tool pouches.

I bought a pair of Carhartt double knee from 1986 with a price tag on them from Mervyn's department store at a local gun show and they've lasted me 4 years now the quality is not as good as they used to be for sure

[@a.barker7792]

I'm glad you mentioned how soft hemp it. We need to eliminate all cotton because it's so water dependent. Plant hemp. Saves trees too for paper alternatives. Do you know why cotton is still around? Monsanto pesticides. Cotton is very Susceptible to bugs.

[@xblackdog]

Oh, I got a Patagonia barn coat in their hemp, and I couldn't believe how soft the material is (and by their claim it's more abrasion resistant than cotton canvas)! The coat also has so many pockets, which when doing stuff like hoof trimmings, or vaccinations I have somewhere for everything. I don't even need my bucket. They aren't joking though when they say the coats run large, lol. The back pocket always amazes me, because I keep a pair of leather glove in it, and when sitting down I don't feel them. I have genuinely forgotten they were there a couple times! Also by chance scored several Patagonia flannel shirts from Goodwill, brand new (or very close to new) for $14/ea, and they're some of the softest shirts I have that are also a light flannel.

[@brianrodman1033]

I love their button up flannel shirts. I think all of mine were purchased second hand too, can’t beat the price. For the heat of Summer their AC button up shirts are awesome, any hint of air movement goes right through them.

[@ageovquarrel8840]

That's what I do with 5.11 pants. I buy 3 or 4 at a time. So comfortable and light. I live in Arizona and even during summer months I can wear them. They dry quickly and are affordable.

[@Digger927]

Nice, I like those pockets, that's a cool idea! I started buying only large/tall shirts, I'm just 5'10" tall but they stay tucked in much better than normal length shirts and I hate a darn shirt that won't stay tucked in...most irritating thing in the world (or one of them).

[@robertholsopple9451]

That's the 1st time I ever heard anyone say Carhartt was lacking in quality. I've bought Carhartt 2nds and they still exceed anything I've ever worn. I love my Carhartt cloths. My whole wardrobe is almost all Carhartt. To each his own though.

Agree with the buying clothing in bulk especially as an adult. I've been wearing the same safety blaze assortment of t shirts since high school because they're cheap and keep me from being naked.

[@trentnicolajsen3731]

Tip: 1. always avoid the X stitch pattern that most pants have in the crotch area. look for the added patch that is on a lot of hiking pants. after one has to walk a distance, or move there legs over logs, or in dampness, eventualy the friction of the X pattern that crosses a major blood vein can cause latter in life serious issues. If one looks at typical blue jeans there is often a thick hard square in the middle of X pattern. I guess culturally around the world, we see why farmers or forest workers wore overalls, kilts, baggy pants ect.

But they don’t offer as much protection as denim which I had to find out the hard way. As for belts I absolutely love my grip6 work belt. I wear it all the time.
