Unfortunately, most Carhartt products are made in Mexico and Vietnam, but the American-based brand does utilize some of its workers in the United States. Whether this will continue in the future remains to be seen as they have continued to downsize their manufacturing in the United States over time. I'm actually cool with the jobs being in Mexico. Mexicans need jobs too.

I haven’t noticed anyone mentioning Duluth Trading’s Fire Hose clothing. I’ve had many years experience wearing Carhart bibs as a welder in Dow but after I retired I stumbled upon Duluth’s Fire Hose clothing. I wear their shop coat and apron while in the shop working and if the weather is on the warm side, I wear the Fire Hose pants trapping and have done so for 22 years using the same pants!

Their t shirts and jeans last and most importantly, dont fit like little girl pants like so many do anymore. Ive had a heavyweight zip up hoodie for about 22 years and other than stains from stupid things ive done, its perfect. I dont have any heavyweight stuff, but i will second the Old Mill cheapo coat-mine was 20 bucks and insanely warm. I have three older Walls coats and the zippers are absolute pieces of crap. Zippers seem to be the cheapeast thing on any coat. X2. The pocket t-shirts are very well built and fit well. They just plain last. Compare a Dickie's brand pocket t-shirt to a Carhartt one and you will see a big difference in quality. Their jeans hold up as well.

I'm sticking with Carhartt. I like their clothes and have quite a few. I still wear a pair of insulated overalls that are almost 30 years old.
Isn't it great to have that choice?
How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

for hooded sweat shirts I see the Carhart ones are on sale for 50 dollars
I have been wearing Russell sweat shirts for several years they seem to wear well
just bought some more the navy blue seems to be made in Honduras and the black made in El Salvador , not USA but not the PRC
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

No time to answer right now.
I need to throw on my Carharts to get to Target to buy my Bud Light.

I quit buying their stuff back when they stopped making camo, what....20-25 years ago?
I figured they went woke back then to stop making camo, a big seller around these hills anyhow.
There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.
