Yep I love my Carhartt! The only thing I hate is the elastic wrist band thing. It always curls under and that drives me nuts. But my god are they warm!
tried Real ranch, key, a couple other knock offs and none compare to my carhart overalls. they dont shrink up the first time they get washed and look like capri's.
Charhartt had a few UNION plants in Kentucky of all places.
They have moved a lot of there production to Mexico the last few years.
Most of the textile and clothes work that used to be produced in Tennessee and Kentucky , Union or Non union has all moved to Asia or some far away place. Acme Boots, Brown Shoe, Dyersburg Fabrics... the list goes on as long as a man's arm-- all have closed up or moved off- shore in the last 25 years.
Just thought I'd share that to flesh out the "big picture"

I hear ya Larry. Not a Carhartt example, but every time I find a new pair of jeans that are comfortable and durable, they get discontinued.
Just recently found out about Wrangler Riggs Wear jeans, which had the option on some of a second layer of material from the thigh down to the shin. Found out because Atwoods was having a "Buy 3, get 1 free" sale.
I went and got all I could in my size, and asked the lady if there were any more. "Nope, they're discontinued now".
At least I got about 10 pair before they disappeared to anywhere but Das EffenBay.

Poor sales are Carhartt's fault for making a coat that lasts.
Exactly, the same goes with anything. If you make a product too good you don't get repeat customers becasue it last forever. I think John Deere use to have this problem
