To be fair they literally say on their website that they exist to protect hardworking people. So it’s semi fair to point out that you’re not their demographic

u/BoondockUSA 3h ago
Spoiler: It’s called marketing. They market to people who like to think they’re hardworking.
With the exception of some of their winter outerwear, Carhartt quality has become trash for actual blue collar hardworkers.
For the Nike pants comparison, it would be like if Nike started making pants with lounging as the primary goal instead of being actual sportswear.
1
u/lemonjuice707 3h ago
Funny enough, I just said their quality had gone down too. I haven’t gotten new Carhartt since 2020 because it doesn’t last any more like it used to.
I agree overall tho, Carhartt is going more towards a “hard working brand” but it’s just designer over price garbage now.

What a terrible example, a hard working person or athlete (using your Niki example) can still lounge around.

The super long deployments were a result of the “troop surge” in Iraq in 2007 and were not “normal” but are technically legal as US law has a maximum of 23 month activation periods for reserves.

u/Eren_Yeager52 5h ago
I have no problem with deployments during peacetime. But in general you should be able to take your wife if they extend beyond 6 months as long as you are deployed into a non-combat zone. The military frowns on infidelity but they seem to make all the decisions that make it easier to happen.

Army occupy a base so when the deploy they’re deploying to replace the previous command that was there.

u/BoondockUSA 3h ago
It’s not something that you’re imagining. Carhartt transitioned from being a workwear company to being a fashion company, meaning out with super durable heavy denims and in with less durable denims that are more comfortable than durable (like stretch denims).
Actual blue collar workers took notice and stopped buying Carhartts like they used to.
Online retailers also changed what blue collar workers are buying. They aren’t limited anymore to what their local farm store sells, nor are modern blue collar workers less adverse to buying online.

In my area, If they can keep one and he works his ass off everyday, you’ll catch the lady stepping out of a Tahoe she can barely drive at Dicks, to get their kids some Carhartt shit.

They used to make quality clothing that keeps you warm and held up to abuse. Ever since the yuppies started wanting to look like they were useful, they downgraded the quality and jacked up prices. I still have my carhartt jacket from 2011 and other than some oil stains, its still going strong. The newer stuff is noticeably worse. Just does not hold up to the wear and tear on job sites like it used to. I dont buy carhartt anymore, it would be more useful to set the money on fire.

Depends on what you get. I still buy their thick pocket tees. $19 to $25 for a shirt and i on average get 5 years or more out of them depending on the abuse I put them through. I dont buy any of their thinner cheap shit that's stylish. Thick wind and resistant zip ups and pocket tees. All I need

There just aren’t very many people in trades and especially farming. Also people in other fields often have more disposable income since trades are actually not great for pay until you’re working 500+ hours of OT, and then you don’t have time for free time. Lots of people in office and service jobs still enjoy activities for which Carhartt makes a lot of since, and there’s 4x as many of them.

How much did he work and how much of his compensation was pay and not benefits? The problem with a lot of these numbers you see is they’re reporting union workers working 50-60 hrs/wk with a huge healthcare plan are making $100k, but when you dig in, that’s a $30k or more healthcare plan and the hourly pay is $25/hr for their regular hours. At my work our low level salaried employees “make” $100k if they have a family on the health plan from the cost of the plan while being well short of $100k.

I strongly disagree with this. Where I live in northern ontario, plumbers, millwright, electricians, carpenters….make absolute bank. For reference a full time max salary RN or police officer would gross 110k before OT. While the plumber would make that in 6 months.
1
u/SmootherWorm 2h ago
IDK about Canada, but in the US a full-time RN is 36 hours (3 shifts) a week and pay is entirely dependent on location and specialty. ICU or anesthesia aren’t near the long-term care nurses on pay. Police are often not paid particularly well until they put in their 1000 hours of readily available overtime in most areas too. Meanwhile the only plumbers making $200k are master plumbers owning their own business with employees; 80% of plumbers are Rotorooter journeymen making $60k before work a ton of OT if it’s available to them.

That's not true at all. Our local pipe fitters union has a pretty great package. Starting as an apprentice at $25/hr (take home wage. $47/hr total package) with $6-10/hr annual raises, all while having 0 college debt is a pretty sweet deal. Most journeyman take home an easy $120k.

Funnily enough I’m finding I don’t care for Carhartt too much. Their long sleeve shirts and beanies are really nice but their sweatshirt’s hoods are too small.
They like aren’t big enough, if I pull the hood down to where my hard hat sits over top of the whole hood then it is straining my neck after a few hours. But it is also uncomfortable if the band of my hard hat is around the tip of the hood if that makes sense?
I find that regular sweatshirts from Meijer with my states college football teams are a lot more comfortable and have bigger hoods

I'm a woman in the trades but I don't live at the sawmill. This may shock you but you should know that teachers also don't live at school.
When I am off the clock I don't wear the full hi-viz but I'll wear the good winter gear because there's usually some left in the car.

The fuck you mean lol? No blue collar worker wears Carhartt. You want me to wear a good looking plain shirt to get ruined while I'm trying to unclog the drain?
Also, talking like the men who wear Carhartt aren't bums who haven't worked a day.

It's time to stop measuring the value of people based on how much sex you think they're getting. It's weird.

That’s for white collar workers, us blue collar workers still use dip and chew and loose snus

Is the joke that women don't work blue collar jobs...because the mill near me is 60% female employee in ratio, so....that would be false...

Yeah, they could have easily joked about people who wear Carhartt are mainly bums who have never done blue collar work, instead of just targetting the women who wear it. No blue collar worker I know wears Carhartt. You don't ruin a mid priced shirt by wearing it to work.

We were in the UK a couple years ago and saw Carhartt was blowing up there as a fashion statement. It was weird seeing Carhartt sold in clothing boutiques in London and Copenhagen knowing in the US people wear it to stay warm while digging ditches.
