Duluth Trading has great stuff...have a fleece-lined flannel on me right now from them. I too will be moving forward without any new Carhartt products.
@@jcspaz4l Duluth is overpriced so much that even when I was working there and got a discount, I still wouldn't buy much because I still couldn't afford it. That said though, their quality is legit. And if you live here and can physically go to their outlet center, you can get brand new clothes for half price. Any time someone returns an item, whether used or not, it automatically goes to the outlet center simply because it's no longer technically brand new. I have pants that have lasted 10 years and aside from slight discoloration from lots of wear, they're still in excellent shape! 🙂🙂🙂
I’ll buy extra because I give zero shits about politics and I’m not a baby snowflake. This is fucking hilarious. We gonna see some burning carhartts in the future lol
People like you are why the left is taking over our country and indoctrinating our kids, because you are all about “me” and aren’t man enough to stand up for freedom or anything else. “ Just give me my stuff”…. I bet you would wear a mask to sleep in if the government told you to.
NO MORE CARHARTT FOR ME. I was so disappointed to hear about their stand against the supreme court decision. Thx for the alternative lists. I'll check them out
Sadly, this all seems to be the doing of their CEO -Carhartt not being a publicly traded company - who really put himself in a bind pushing this unpopular mandate.
@@jeremiahwhisler766 ohhhh damn that's bullshit! Didn't Coca cola do that to??? I'm ok with Walls I just picked up a Black and a Tan one from Walmart for $17 a piece on clearance
Please explain to me the comparison to a company sourcing their materials from another country and informing their employees they take a vaccine or find a new job?? How dumb are you?
A couple of viewers mentioned Walls Apparel being owned by Dickies clothing. It seems that Dickies acquired Walls in 2013 and VF Corp acquired Dickies - thus Workrite, Kodiak, Terra and Walls - in 2017. Thanks for the clarification! I have made note of this in the description.
I suggest adding Keen to the 'No-Go' list: I had been wearing pair after pair of their footwear, ordering straight from them. When the George Floyd thing happened, they sent out an email decrying systemic racism and touting how they were going to be a 'better' company. I stopped ordering their shoes right there. Their site currently has loads of virtue signaling including the declaration, "We are social and environmental justice action-takers who make shoes to make a difference". One link on their site is titled "Fly Fishing While Black" and has the photo of a tatted black guy holding a rod in waders, who is also wearing a plate carrier (with no plate in it) and a chest rig with a Glock. Reading his story, as an avid fly fisher, who has been assaulted, harassed, and threatened with death so many times while enjoying the outdoors, he declares "This is why I have to don my flak jacket and holster my weapon to go to a beautiful place on public lands that nature has provided for all of us..." The thing that really gets me is that all of his gear he is wearing in the pic: looks like it just had the tags pulled off of it.
I see what you mean. "THOUGHTS ON THE KILLING OF GEORGE FLOYD AND BEING BLACK IN THE OUTDOORS" How ridiculous! What about the fish? Trout are inherently racist!
Get some ACAL Apparel, not only is it American Made he's also a very outspoken Patriot and one hell of an American. Reasonable prices for American Made shirts, hats and even socks. If you haven't heard of Adam Calhoun or his music you may want to give it a listen. He's the owner and man behind ACAL Apparel. I don't get a thing for saying this but supporting those that love this Great Nation is what we need to be doing. We need stop giving money to those that hate us and want us gone/dead. Giving the other side the benefit of the doubt is a dumb idea considering they will never reciprocate. People really need to look into what our Lord and Savior meant when he said turn the other cheek as it sure as hell wasn't so that the enemy could strike it as well... God Bless and God Bless the USA...
we need more people like you and more videos like this making people aware. My son came home with nike sneakers about a year ago and I made him return them! I have carhart clothing that I'll still wear, but they'll never get another red cent from me.
Was just about to buy some Carhartt pants. From now on I'm going to check the website of any clothing manufaturer before I buy their stuff. Thanks so much for the heads up.
I attempted contact with Duluth Trading inquiring about employee mandates and they refused to answer my email. I tried chat but was cut off from the chat when I asked the question. I did get a response from Dickies parent company VFC and they required all employees be jabbed by Jan 1, 2022.
Just bought Berne jacket today! Thing is insanely thick, fits good and is warm. We will see how it holds up. I had a carhartt jacket in my hand at the store but put it back for a cheaper and seemingly better option.
Just subbed after seeing the video via the Integrated Preparedness channel on RUclips/Patreon. Thank you for the information. My closet is over half full of some of the no go brands and I will continue to wear them because they are good products, however I will not be buying any new products from here on out until they change their stance. I will be emailing the corporate offices of Columbia and Patagonia right after I finish this post. It is our time to help fight for the workers of these companies. We will affect change through the purse. Stay safe, healthy, and FREE!🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸
Thanks, Brad. Same here. I have a lot of these woke/coercive company brands in my closet, which are good products. I'm not throwing any out, either, because it's my property that I have use for. Won't be going back to those no-go brands, though.
Thank you for the excellent video! I am a former auto mechanic, and consequently I am looking at the possibility of intercepting snap on and mac trucks at local auto shops for purchasing coats and socks. Redwings and redback are also alternatives for footwear, redwings having no hint I can find of such mandates or socialist leanings, and redback being stuck behind enemy lines in Australia where it probably doesn't mean much what their managers want, and their quality is much higher than carhartt for the same price.
Red Wings went woke but I'm not sure about the v mandates. During the G Floydd stuff they virtue signaled hard. They still make great boots but idk. I prefer Whites or Thorogood now. Whites claimed they are only following State mandates in Washington and offered testing.
I’ve had great luck with Walls and worn Walls and Dickies almost all my life .My Walls Workwear jacket is surprisingly warmer and more comfortable than my Carhartt jacket and wear it more than my Carhartt.I bought it 5 years ago at Walmart on clearance for $29 and it’s still holding up .I wear it every winter .Dickies is a great brand as well
Well, I just ordered a couple new jackets, flannels, shirts, and accessories for myself from Duluth this afternoon! My son just landed an apprenticeship with a huge construction company, and I took him to get some boots and cold weather work clothes from Duluth yesterday as well (coveralls, bibs, pants, jackets, shirts, wool socks, etc.)! If I had taken him shopping a week earlier, he would likely have ended up with at least half of that being Carhartt pieces. I ante'd up an extra $100 bucks to get him a pair of Thorogood boots instead of the Carhartt boots I would have recommended for him. It's a shame, because they do make good stuff. Carhartt lost over 1,000 of my dollars alone this week!!! Support freedom loving companies, and try to buy Made in the USA whenever possible/practical !!!
I actually work for a living, and honestly you’ve done him a disservice by buying him an alternative. He would be better off wearing street clothes than not having Carhartt. No offense because it was nice of a father to buy their child anything, but if he’s in it for the long haul there’s a huge difference in wear. I wouldn’t give up my Carhartt clothing if it was spun by the Devil himself. Carhartt Dickies and Ben Davis for life. Keen work boots 🥾 to top it off and you can handle anything.
@@MyDigitalJourney I actually work for a living as well. Been a tool & die maker my whole life, and done plenty of carpentry & electrical as well. My oldest son has been wearing Duluth for years and says the Firehose pants hold up better than any other pant he's owned. I own plenty of clothes of both brands, and have no complaints about the quality of either. I don't like when companies get political, or in this case anti-freedom of choice, so I choose to stop supporting them. Personally, I like the Duluth better because they have proportions that are more comfortable for ME. My experience with Keen boots is that they are garbage. Never had a pair that lasted 6-months. I prefer Georgia, Danner, and Thorogood. More comfortable than Red Wings, which is the only boot my oldest will wear, but aren't comfortable for me. If Carhartt reverses their direction and makes things right, I would have no problem purchasing their products again...
@@OOMAN I have a pair of San Jose. Keen that are basically mock redwings. I do house remodeling (roofing flooring tile painting etc.) I can’t speak for every pair but they have the same feel today as they did 3 years ago. I respect your position. But seeing people who have too much burn clothes that could go to someone who works for a living really burns me up, no pun intended. My dad was a pipe fitter 60 years ago and he could never afford the fancy construction clothes. I’m sure that’s still going on today. Maybe instead of burning they could drive their Lamborghinis to an actual job site and hand out the clothes to some hard workers.
@@MyDigitalJourney I never advocated burning your perfectly good Carhartt clothes, or even to stop wearing them. In fact, I have commented on multiple videos about not being an idiot by doing that. Burning perfectly good stuff does nothing to hurt Carhartt. I said that I will not buy any more of their stuff until they reverse their policy, restore their employees' right to choose, and hopefully issue an apology. When Carhartt sees people burning their stuff, they're probably laughing their butts off because they know most people will forget about this in a few months (if that) and go out to buy new Carhartt products to replace the stuff they've burned... In the mean time, I am happy to buy quality alternatives from their competitors, whether that's Duluty, Walls, or some other brand. I am not married to a brand name, I just need it to be good quality and to work for me...
Ours is a Capitalist society, where we vote with our dollars. And I vote for Conservative/Patriotic values. And I applaud you for your passion and for providing this great information that helps guide me (and others) in making important decisions. THANK YOU, GREAT PATRIOT!!!
There is so much crazy going on here. I stumbled across this - and it is so demoralizing to know people are mired in conspiracy culture and hyper political buzzwords.
What's demoralizing is being threatened with your job if you don't decide to be a lab rat. All while clowns like you see what's going on and still call it a conspiracy for some reason..
Thanks for now I'm removing tags on the Carhartt stuff I do have, I will no longer buy their products. I'm pretty sure where I work is moving to another brand in work wear too.
My carhart stuff is made in Mexico thank you for looking this up brother I'm a union bricklayer with over 40yrs I'm in Indiana I have walls stuff that's cool an the wolverine stuff sounds great to thank you again brother.thanks for your research an the information stay safe my friend appreciate you
My boss buys us Carhartt and Columbia jackets and I really don't think he cares about their feelings on the mandate because he's been trying to get us to get vaccinated since the beginning. I will wear the clothing he provides but I personally will not purchase any myself.
I recently bought some Ariat M4 work pants. Every bit as comfy as carhartt. Only disadvantage, they don't have a mid leg pocket in the left side (which is where many people carry their spare mag.) Other than that, 100% a great alternative.
Good video. Unfortunately I have a lot of products from Nike and other brands bit I don’t have the luxury of having a billion clothes so until then I will probably still wear it for the time being. Thanks for the info
Thank you for sharing these better brands. I would also like to suggest that if you have older carhartt clothes that you bought in the past before the company changed, you can cut off the logo or sew an American flag patch over it and still wear it, as it could be a lot of money to invest in new clothes. Just don't buy from them anymore.
Your video helped me choose a much more expensive option over Carhartt. Im fortunate enough to be able to do so while making my dollars support basic human rights. Thank you.
I removed the logos from all of my carhartt products and certainly won't be buying anything from them in the future. I certainly don't want to give advertisement to such a crappy company. I would recommend everyone else to do the same.
I'll never buy another Patagonia product ever again. I had a lot of their clothing but have since sold and bought elsewhere. Will not stand for all this woke bull crap
To clarify, Carhartt is not forcing employees to comply with an unconstitutional mandate. It is simply deciding to make such a mandate its company policy. As of right now, there is no one telling them that they can't do that. SCOTUS merely said that the government couldn't.
@@cobbler88 Yes, the OSHA private sector federal vaccine mandate is unconstitutional. That was the SCOTUS decision. Private companies like Carhartt can ignore that at their own peril but they are vulnerable to civil damages if class action suites emerge from employees injured from being coerced to take the jab.
@@AmericanFreeState The court found that the federal government and its agents cannot issue such sweeping mandates. That's completely different than whether a private company can require vaccinations of its employees. There will certainly be civil cases that work their way through the system (almost all of which will be thrown out or lost), but the decision here does not establish precedent regarding those cases. This was limited to the scope of the federal government.
@@cobbler88 The Brandon vaccine mandate, stuck down by SCOTUS, wasn't just limited to federal government agencies and their employees, but extended to private sector companies, and their employees, facilitating government contracts. And that's where private companies like Carhartt have legally stepped in it. Yes, private companies servicing the private sector can force a vaxx mandate, but not without cost if the vaccines they mandated cause harm to their workforce. It's a situation where SCOTUS didn't specifically address vaccine mandates for private employers not servicing government contracts, but they kind of set a precedent saying it's not a good idea.
This is the one and only reason I will NEVER buy Carhartt ever again for the next 50-60 years (hopefully) I have left on this earth. I liked to support the made in US stuff but Im done forever. My family will be told the same as well as any children I hope to have. I actually recently bought a Berne jacket. Seems just as good quality and warm as Carhartt but cheaper and more colors to choose from.
Hey John. Dickies, which was my daily workwear, is under the VF Corp label. VF Corp, as I type this, is mandating the jab to all employees. Ridgecut is Tractor Supply's clothing line. In Feb 2021, TS offered it's employees $50 to voluntarily get jabbed, but has not mandated it. www.cnbc.com/video/2021/02/10/tractor-supply-ceo-pays-employees-50-to-get-covid-19-vaccine.html
Any one have any experience purchasing from Origin USA? Origin is America’s next big brand. We make everything from dirt to shirt right here in our Maine and North Carolina-based factories. Workwear, Huntwear, Fightwear, and Lifewear are the core of our business, and we are the first brand to manufacture footwear in Franklin County, Maine in the last 30 years. We pride ourselves in making heirloom quality, durable goods right here in America.
I love how invested people are in the politics of clothing companies lol. It's like they have not much else to worry about. So against cancel woke culture, but love to cancel companies when they have different politics than you. I love it lol.
Was gonna look at dickies, thanks for clarification. I was given a bearne coat a few months ago and I knew in my mind it's better than carhartt which is all I've worn 25 years and now carhartt Gave me a reason besides bearne being warmer and equal type of outer build at a cheaper cost
Good to know. I've been looking at Berne a lot lately. I replaced me Carhartt pants with Berne after returning the 2 pair pants and 4 shirts to Carhartt. Also returned my carhartt vest via Agway. I'm thinking about the Berne heartland canvas vest too. Berne also has great CCW apparel.
Carhartt has turned into a fashion brand for hipsters anyway. Don’t burn your old stuff, but I won’t be buying any more from them. 👍🏻 To all the collectivist Brandon Sheep bashing this guy: aren’t you late for your next booster appointment?
I was going to go with columbia for a jacket to avoid my usual carhartt buy, but it seems columbia has been known to say some pretty nasty things about people like us who have traditional views and values. I will ALWAYS spend my money with a company that keeps its nose out of politics and focuses on doing better buy it's employee's and its customers. Leveraging food on their employee's tables (a job) to get those employee's put a substance into their bodies that has no long term tests is borderline heartless and i will never buy a single carhartt thing again for as long as i live. It's always "my body my choice" until it effects the other side of the political isle. Double standarts seem to be a theme with the left and these companies that shouldn't stick their noses into politics.
Yeah. the old jackets and pants were tanks, and the new stuff seems built to break, at least relative to their old stuff. Not sure if it was intentionally done that way, or just the result of the stuff being made cheaper.
@@VaderViktor I've been wearing KEY hickory shirts for 20 years 😂 and now there pants 😎 totally awesome should have been wearing them the whole time ! .
thank you for posting this. this is the 2nd one ive seen. i wont be buying any more work gear from these companies. there are plenty of great alternatives.
G”day. You’re missing out on a good company - Want rugged ethical? Cactus - sure you spend a bit on shipping to get it out of New Zealand but can’t go wrong. Check out Hard Yakka too.
This guy's acting like a Carhartt is the first company to require their employees to do something. That's how employers work, they're dictatorships, you have to follow THEIR rules and what they require to do the job.
Uh, no. Companies aren't dictatorships. They can't "rule" your natural and constitutional rights void for providing an income. You're providing them a service (remember??), not simply there to collect money and be a Pfizer's lab rat. And, in case you haven't been paying attention, there is a tsunami of class action law suits coming for companies that have forced employees to choose between getting jabbed and feeding their families, which isn't going to turn out well for these vaccine-mandating companies.
Duluth Trading has great stuff...have a fleece-lined flannel on me right now from them. I too will be moving forward without any new Carhartt products.
Yeah, it's too bad. I really liked their stuff. Bought a Carhartt tool roll a couple of weeks ago.

In the mean time, I am happy to buy quality alternatives from their competitors, whether that's Duluty, Walls, or some other brand. I am not married to a brand name, I just need it to be good quality and to work for me...
New normal… a world without Carhartt…
Get Woke Go Broke!…
I don't know if they'll go broke but hopefully we'll get their attention.
Acal is not only made in the u.s. it also gets more then 90% of thier material from here.
Yea I just looked it's only 1 style of hoodie for now though..
I'm done with Carhartt. I don't even care if they stop and apologize.
Seems like they're committed to the present course.
Y'all check out Adam Calhoun's clothing. He's doing it right.
1620 is one of the best brands that I have come across. Sourced and made in America.
Thanks! Will check them out.
Carhartt quality has been declining anyway, I’ve been wearing roundhouse and Duluth for a while and have been fairly satisfied.
I haven't noticed a drop in Carhartt quality as all my C stuff is holding up. I just had to cut em lose over their crazy jab mandate.
LC King makes some badass stuff all American and they don’t stand with tyranny
Will check them out, thanks!
Ours is a Capitalist society, where we vote with our dollars. And I vote for Conservative/Patriotic values. And I applaud you for your passion and for providing this great information that helps guide me (and others) in making important decisions. THANK YOU, GREAT PATRIOT!!!
There is so much crazy going on here. I stumbled across this - and it is so demoralizing to know people are mired in conspiracy culture and hyper political buzzwords.
I know. I can't believe Carhartt took the path of alienating so many of their once loyal customers.
What's demoralizing is being threatened with your job if you don't decide to be a lab rat. All while clowns like you see what's going on and still call it a conspiracy for some reason..
ACal Clothing. Adam Calhoun. MADE In The U. S. A.
Very well done video! Thank you for taking the time to put this together for us
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How about Cornerstone?
Looks good. Couldn't find anything about mandates.
Thanks for now I'm removing tags on the Carhartt stuff I do have, I will no longer buy their products. I'm pretty sure where I work is moving to another brand in work wear too.
Yes, I found those Carhartt tags easy to remove.
My carhart stuff is made in Mexico thank you for looking this up brother I'm a union bricklayer with over 40yrs I'm in Indiana I have walls stuff that's cool an the wolverine stuff sounds great to thank you again brother.thanks for your research an the information stay safe my friend appreciate you
Thanks, Richard!
Walls is also VF corp. Look at Berne. They are based in your state and specifically said they have no mandate when I called them
My boss buys us Carhartt and Columbia jackets and I really don't think he cares about their feelings on the mandate because he's been trying to get us to get vaccinated since the beginning. I will wear the clothing he provides but I personally will not purchase any myself.
I guess you could say those companies are a "good fit" for your boss.
I recently bought some Ariat M4 work pants. Every bit as comfy as carhartt. Only disadvantage, they don't have a mid leg pocket in the left side (which is where many people carry their spare mag.) Other than that, 100% a great alternative.
If comfort is what we're talking about, I've got some sweatpants that are way more comfortable than both of those sets of pants. 🤣
Ariat makes good stuff. Don't know about their politics, though.
Carhartt quality is terrible anyways. Their pants specifically. I love Duluth pants. They have held up very well for how lightweight they are.
Carhartt quality has always held up for me. Just not buying their stuff anymore.
Also Acal clothing. Adam Calhouns company. Everything except the hats are made in America.
Thanks for that!
Good video. Unfortunately I have a lot of products from Nike and other brands bit I don’t have the luxury of having a billion clothes so until then I will probably still wear it for the time being. Thanks for the info
Same here. Being more selective with my shopping from now on, though.
Thank you for making this video
1620- fully American made start to finish. Very expensive though.
Hey, thanks. I'll check them out!
@@AmericanFreeState o bought some. Amazing quality. Honestly worth the price if it lasts longer than my carhartt junk.
5.11 Tactical is also GREAT company and offers a lot with the exception of "work" outerwear unless you're in law enforcement.
I like, and use, their stuff.
Well thats my entire wardrobe. Shit.
Yeah, I really like... liked their stuff.
Thank you for sharing these better brands. I would also like to suggest that if you have older carhartt clothes that you bought in the past before the company changed, you can cut off the logo or sew an American flag patch over it and still wear it, as it could be a lot of money to invest in new clothes. Just don't buy from them anymore.
No more for me. Bye Cartfartt! I’ve boycotted Nike 20 years ago. And I used to live in San Francisco.
I left Nike over their inferior running shoes. Before they went woke....
All my clothes except underwear, are from thrift shop.
Your video helped me choose a much more expensive option over Carhartt. Im fortunate enough to be able to do so while making my dollars support basic human rights. Thank you.
What about Roundhouse??? Quality products at a fair price and American made!
Had a lot of recommendations for Roundhouse in the comments.
I removed the logos from all of my carhartt products and certainly won't be buying anything from them in the future. I certainly don't want to give advertisement to such a crappy company. I would recommend everyone else to do the same.
So did I. Well, I have a few more labels to remove but will get 'em all!
Nice work sir. I am also in the process of removing all Carhartt labels. I will get my first Berne order tomorrow.
@@AmericanFreeState it is tedious work. Now I have to find a good sized envelope to ship em back to the traitors
@@jeremiahwhisler766 Thank you. I'm not returning or burning anything. Just removing labels, and not buying Carhartt again.
@@AmericanFreeState sounds fair to me...
Thank you for this! So sick of the brand Carhartt has become!
Thanks for watching.
I'll never buy another Patagonia product ever again. I had a lot of their clothing but have since sold and bought elsewhere. Will not stand for all this woke bull crap
Yeah, Patagonia is the wokest of the woke.
To clarify, Carhartt is not forcing employees to comply with an unconstitutional mandate. It is simply deciding to make such a mandate its company policy.
As of right now, there is no one telling them that they can't do that. SCOTUS merely said that the government couldn't.
Yes companies can still force emoyees to choose between the shot and their incomes. That was the motivation for calling out Carhart.
@@AmericanFreeState Yes. But it was described as unconstitutional in the vid. Right now, that's not true, so I clarified.
@@cobbler88 Yes, the OSHA private sector federal vaccine mandate is unconstitutional. That was the SCOTUS decision. Private companies like Carhartt can ignore that at their own peril but they are vulnerable to civil damages if class action suites emerge from employees injured from being coerced to take the jab.
@@AmericanFreeState The court found that the federal government and its agents cannot issue such sweeping mandates. That's completely different than whether a private company can require vaccinations of its employees.
There will certainly be civil cases that work their way through the system (almost all of which will be thrown out or lost), but the decision here does not establish precedent regarding those cases. This was limited to the scope of the federal government.
@@cobbler88 The Brandon vaccine mandate, stuck down by SCOTUS, wasn't just limited to federal government agencies and their employees, but extended to private sector companies, and their employees, facilitating government contracts. And that's where private companies like Carhartt have legally stepped in it. Yes, private companies servicing the private sector can force a vaxx mandate, but not without cost if the vaccines they mandated cause harm to their workforce. It's a situation where SCOTUS didn't specifically address vaccine mandates for private employers not servicing government contracts, but they kind of set a precedent saying it's not a good idea.
also acal apparel, american made
Wolverine for me. Thank you
Don't own any Wolverine, yet, but I will!
My first work boots were Wolverines. They were great! I’ll have to look into them again.
This is the one and only reason I will NEVER buy Carhartt ever again for the next 50-60 years (hopefully) I have left on this earth. I liked to support the made in US stuff but Im done forever. My family will be told the same as well as any children I hope to have.
I actually recently bought a Berne jacket. Seems just as good quality and warm as Carhartt but cheaper and more colors to choose from.
Same here on Carhartt. Haven't tried Berne yet, though.
Carhartt only makes 10% in USA
most of carhartt made in mexico and asia
Dickies or Ridgecut?
Hey John. Dickies, which was my daily workwear, is under the VF Corp label. VF Corp, as I type this, is mandating the jab to all employees. Ridgecut is Tractor Supply's clothing line. In Feb 2021, TS offered it's employees $50 to voluntarily get jabbed, but has not mandated it. www.cnbc.com/video/2021/02/10/tractor-supply-ceo-pays-employees-50-to-get-covid-19-vaccine.html
Duluth,Filson are great
I'll check out Filson, thanks!
Well my friend what about dicky they are another alternative to the carhartts do you do some more research on it okay bud thank you
Dickies, which is (was) my daily workwear, is under the VF Corp label. VF Corp, as I type this, is mandating the jab to all employees.
Check out the Adam Calhoun lineup. All Made in America.
I know it, thanks.
Thanks for doing this video. Appreciate it.
Thank you
Tough duck has great quality work wear and its Canadian made
Looks like a well made brand.
Any one have any experience purchasing from Origin USA?
Origin is America’s next big brand. We make everything from dirt to shirt right here in our Maine and North Carolina-based factories. Workwear, Huntwear, Fightwear, and Lifewear are the core of our business, and we are the first brand to manufacture footwear in Franklin County, Maine in the last 30 years. We pride ourselves in making heirloom quality, durable goods right here in America.
Will look into it, thanks.
“Medical tyrant” 😂😂 conservatives are the biggest drama queens on the planet lol. Yall are funny with your silly little outrage
Well, now my feelings are really hurt!
Thanx for the info and keep up the good work
Thank you!
L C King is made in Tennessee
Origin Maine is American made also
Yes, I list LC King in the follow up video. I'm a future buyer!
I love how invested people are in the politics of clothing companies lol. It's like they have not much else to worry about. So against cancel woke culture, but love to cancel companies when they have different politics than you. I love it lol.
Was gonna look at dickies, thanks for clarification. I was given a bearne coat a few months ago and I knew in my mind it's better than carhartt which is all I've worn 25 years and now carhartt Gave me a reason besides bearne being warmer and equal type of outer build at a cheaper cost
Good to know. I've been looking at Berne a lot lately. I replaced me Carhartt pants with Berne after returning the 2 pair pants and 4 shirts to Carhartt. Also returned my carhartt vest via Agway. I'm thinking about the Berne heartland canvas vest too. Berne also has great CCW apparel.
I've done a lot of business with Berne Work wear lately. I'm very happy with them.
I hope Carhartt goes bust lol
Ariat too
Never again will I buy a carhartt product.
Same here!
I switched to noble outfitters. I will never buy carrhart again
Thanks. I'll check out Noble Outfitters.
if someone can post a simple list of these companies. it will be easy to spread through the work force.
Interesting perspective...was thinking about getting a Carhartt Detroit jacket-not now!!! Let's go Brandon.....
Get the jacket bud. You'll be ok
Good clothing line, but I'm done with em.
Burned all the Cunthartt stuff I ever bought on flag day this year. Good riddance. Thanks for the reviews.
Is that a Carhartt toupee? It's their colour.
Hoes mad
No. It's one I bought from an official horse hair toupee dealer.
@@AmericanFreeState Wow...........vintage.
Thank you very much for this information. Solidarity working American brother !
Thank you.
Carhartt has turned into a fashion brand for hipsters anyway. Don’t burn your old stuff, but I won’t be buying any more from them. 👍🏻
To all the collectivist Brandon Sheep bashing this guy: aren’t you late for your next booster appointment?
Ha! True. Thanks for the support.
That Patagonia piece is something . I don’t own any of their clothing and definitely will never buy anything of theirs now. Just disgusting.
They make quality clothing, but couldn't keep their woke politics to themselves.
@@AmericanFreeState not really the most durable stuff though. Best i can say is that if they catch fire they wont melt onto the skin.
I was looking for a Carhartt review for the chore coat for purchase but now I refuse to buy anything from those woke companies, thanks for the upload!
I was going to go with columbia for a jacket to avoid my usual carhartt buy, but it seems columbia has been known to say some pretty nasty things about people like us who have traditional views and values. I will ALWAYS spend my money with a company that keeps its nose out of politics and focuses on doing better buy it's employee's and its customers.
Leveraging food on their employee's tables (a job) to get those employee's put a substance into their bodies that has no long term tests is borderline heartless and i will never buy a single carhartt thing again for as long as i live. It's always "my body my choice" until it effects the other side of the political isle. Double standarts seem to be a theme with the left and these companies that shouldn't stick their noses into politics.
Thank you.
Thanks!
Not to mention the quality has gone down down down 😔
Yeah. the old jackets and pants were tanks, and the new stuff seems built to break, at least relative to their old stuff. Not sure if it was intentionally done that way, or just the result of the stuff being made cheaper.
@@VaderViktor I've been wearing KEY hickory shirts for 20 years 😂 and now there pants 😎 totally awesome should have been wearing them the whole time ! .
Red kap all day
Will check them out, thanks.
I use 511 and 9 line.
Good stuff. Don't know where either are on the jab mandate, though.
Thank You For This.
Thank you!
thank you for posting this. this is the 2nd one ive seen. i wont be buying any more work gear from these companies. there are plenty of great alternatives.
G”day. You’re missing out on a good company - Want rugged ethical? Cactus - sure you spend a bit on shipping to get it out of New Zealand but can’t go wrong. Check out Hard Yakka too.
Checked em out. Thanks!
I heard Duluth also mandated the jab
They blow anyway!!! I've totally kill a pair in less than 4 months 😮💨
Yes, and they celebrate juneteenth if that matters at all. Left a bad taste in my mouth at first, but over time I've let it go.
Thank you for sharing the list.
This guy's acting like a Carhartt is the first company to require their employees to do something. That's how employers work, they're dictatorships, you have to follow THEIR rules and what they require to do the job.
Uh, no. Companies aren't dictatorships. They can't "rule" your natural and constitutional rights void for providing an income. You're providing them a service (remember??), not simply there to collect money and be a Pfizer's lab rat. And, in case you haven't been paying attention, there is a tsunami of class action law suits coming for companies that have forced employees to choose between getting jabbed and feeding their families, which isn't going to turn out well for these vaccine-mandating companies.
Keep following them sheep
Duluth trading
I haven't tried Duluth, yet.
