The $16 hat that made Carhartt fashionable

[LittleLebowski]

I had no idea... I love my Carhartt stuff, but might pass on the hat. It looks like Carhartt is capitalizing on this, good for them.

Yawn

(but I will admit to having an attachment to my Santa Fe jacket)

Looked at a Carhartt hat once in a Tractor Supply. It was synthetic and I wanted merino wool so I passed. I really wasn't looking for fashion nor did I know it was fashionable.

My Carhartt jacket still has coyote blood on it, uber fashionable.

I like my double knee pants, the rest of the stuff I can pass on.

I was buying their stuff for years, but not as much anymore - quality took a real dive starting around ten years ago.

Same here.

After watching that video I feel better about dropping them.

Too bad. I wore their jeans for about thirty years until I couldn't keep them from ripping at the corners of the back pockets.

What did you start buying instead?

I grew up in a place where a solid carhartt coat was damn near required. Upstate New York is balls cold, and has widespread economic hardships... in laymens terms it's a poorer area.

A carhartt was important. You needed a coat that was warm, but wouldn't get ruined doing firewood. Mine is a green collared coat, handed down from Mom when she got a new one. It's just rugged as hell clothing. I didn't even know it was popular with urbanites.
