I've been wearing Carhartt pocket tee shirts for over 10 years. They were always 100% cotton. I went to buy some from Carhatt.com recently and noticed some were 60/40 cotton/poly. Not what I wanted. Some said 100% cotton, some said 60/40 based on color. So I picked my colors carefully to get 100% cotton and ordered 3. What I got was 1 cotton, one 60/40 labeled as such, and one 60/40 labeled as 100% cotton. The 60/40 material is very thin and stretchy and obviously different from the heavy 100% cotton. Obviously the information on the Carhartt site is wrong plus the labeling at the mfg plant in Guatemala is incorrect. Pretty disappointing. I'm done buying them unless I can lay my hands on them first.

They even did away with the button fly on the bibs. Welding spatter and cement don't work well in a zipper.

Gilden Tees are nice I had a buddy give me a shirt for his business and if felt so good I had to look at the label to see who made it!
Soffee makes military tees and I like the fit they offer also!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!
