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.

Where Are Carhartt Factories?
Covering all of Carhartt’s partners and factories, we will have a look at how they spread the manufacturing with this company to better understand it:

Origin # Factories % of MFG.
USA 10 11%
China 1 1%
Mexico 18 21%
Vietnam 14 16%
Cambodia 4 4%
India 10 11%
Bangladesh 4 4%
Guatemala 8 9%
Honduras 1 1%
Indonesia 2 2%
Jordan 1 1%
Nicaragua 4 4%
Colombia 1 1%
Pakistan 2 2%
Italy 1 1%
Canada 1 1%
Taiwan 1 1%
Dominican Republic 1 1%
Mexico makes up the largest manufacturing number for Carhartt at 21 percent with Vietnam in second place at 16 percent. Behind them are India and the United States tied for third. We were pleasantly surprised to at least find the United States in third place. Unfortunately, the information doesn’t show the exact manufacturing levels. Nevertheless, it does give you an idea of where they operate around the world.

In total, Carhartt has 84 manufacturing partners that it works with. Keep in mind, only a small portion of them are factories that they directly own. This makes it difficult to say exactly how much business goes through each of the third-party factories.

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!

Seldom, my kids bought a pair of Duluth underwear for Christmas...shall we say they are very well designed. We have a store in the area and I checked them out...their stuff ain’t cheap but the quality is obvious. I can these Duluth products lasting a long time.

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.

Isn't it great to have that choice?

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.

Everyone is all American until it comes time to shop. Then it’s the cheapest we can buy because made in America is too expensive.

Seriously guys -- With a spokesman like this, why wouldn't you buy Carhartt?

Treat this brand like you treat Bud Light and the WOKE Ideology. AVOID IT AND SEND A MESSAGE!!!! Vote with your wallet.

I haven’t bought Carhartt since they mandated the jab for their employees.
