From Florida here and i can tell you in these HOT summer days Ariat rebar and carhartt force all day long... Sweat dries right up and stands up to the washing 2-3 times a week... Tractor supply has sales on carhartt once a month.. There both around the same price so it does come down to preference... But I get more compliments on ariat then carhartt... All these reviews are great.. Keep up the good work
Carhartt quality went down. I have 2 maybe 3 shirts frommmm 2010-2017. Bought a long sleeve last week and it’s the same quality as a Gildan!!! A gilden. The shirts I bought a few years ago are still heavier
As a Wildland firefighter the 1620's thinner, tougher, and fire resistant fabric intrigues me. Usually I just end up wearing plain cotton under my nomex but I sweat a lot and it's not the most comfortable. I see a lot of guys wearing icebreaker and smartwool shirts but I just can't swing that much for shirts that, in my experience, are kinda delicate.
I work outside in the summer in SC and 1620 BY FAR are the coolest shirts I’ve ever worn and I’ve tried just about every brand from cheap to loopwheel Japanese shirts. 1620 hands down for working, are the way to go
Grab t shirt and something? Free ship from duluth on $50.. Have a collection of k87 yet still find the long tail from duluth just a cut above. May check out some of these others. Thanks for the quality info/vid once again!
The Patagonia are my go-to work T-shirts. Expensive yes but they really last and they're seriously comfortable to wear. Wouldn't wear for summer use for the reason you explained but as a 3-season T shirt or an under shirt in colder weather they're great. Expensive yes but "buy once cry once" I guess.
I work in a hot glass factory, in summer Temps are steady around our furnaces at about 120 to 130 depending on thr beginning of the shift to the end of the shift. I wear mostly the k87 year round and I can't tell the difference between those and my carhartt force t shirts in the heat. I bough about 10 k87s 8 years ago and I still have and still wear every one of them.
I love the K87’s, and my Force short sleeve Henley that apparently they don’t make anymore. Dickies also has some nice work shirts but I definitely have to size down more so on theirs. 1620 has me interested in their stuff lately but I just don’t quite need more workwear until I ruin what I have. I hope this fall or winter you do a stormy Kromer video, My Mackinaw hat is staring me down from my coat rack at the moment 🤣
Got a Duluth Pocket Tee in august and god damn is that the most comfortable tee I have. That’s one thing I’ve noticed with their clothing is that it’s all comfortable
What a great video! Thank you for that, I was completely unaware Patagonia now had a work shirt. For me for years it's been the K87, they fit bigger and can stand lots of weekly washes and I carry my bullet space pen in the pocket. I am going to try the Patagonia.
@@rqb6731 Well I find it comfortable. Thinner then I like. I would compare it pretty close to the Ariat work shirt, with a pocket. I believe its. Ariat rebar I could be wrong on that though.
The Carhartt "Force" Delmont is my choice. Doesn't shrink/stretch like the heavier cotton K87, and the raglan cut and "force" fabric is better for warmer weather, IMO.
I stick to basic grey in Carhartt shirts. Other colors I've had, including green, have bleached in spots from sweat. I like Duluth t's. I wouldn't pay 10 bucks to ship them either though. The others you featured seem fine. Maybe I'll try that last made in the USA one.
Thanks for the video. I have a 1620 hoodie that is my absolute favorite hoodie. Would definitely give the 1620 tees a try if they only had the chest pocket. Think I will give the ariat tees a try.
The Duluth shirts hold up well. Have a long sleeve crew and a long sleeve Henley from them, both 5-8 years old. Have kept their color, minimal shrinkage, soft and thick. With that said, the Carhartt ones are cheaper and will get as soft after a couple washes
So far I have three K87s and two force tees from Carhartt. Love them. How about a comparision video between K570 and force polo? Would like to dress a bit smarter
I wear the Ariat Rebar button up shirts in the winter time (they make a flannel type). They're awesome but all Ariat button ups run a size larger than normal.
Another good review Carl! I like DTC products, and have become spoiled by the F.O.M. panels in lots of their clothing. But I avoid DTC because of their shipping. Expensive and sets the bar for slowest shipping on the planet. American Giant has really nice fabric and colors, and that USA sourced and made feature. My less-than-athletic build makes them tight where they shouldn't be tight. I have always had great luck with Patagonia clothing. While I haven't worn their tee shirts, their winter parkas and flannel shirts NEVER wear out! Plus they stand behind their products FOREVER (they still repair my 33 y.o. parka for FREE with FREE RETURN SHIPPING.)!! I'm still wearing my Gilden Heavyweight tees as my go to for nearly 20 years. Good fabric and dirt cheap, but quality is a crap-shoot. I've had arms fall off Gilden tees the first time through the washing machine. I recently bought several Cotton Heritage heavyweight tees. Even softer 100% cotton than the AGs. Great fit and finish, and decent colors. A little long in the torso for me, but I'm pretty short. At $5.04 each, they are a great buy as well. Just my two cents. Enjoyed your video. Looking forward to the next one! Have a great week Carl!
I love the look of those 1620 but man 40-50$ shipping to me in Canada is rough... Ud think I was getting it shipped from new Zealand with those prices~
I'm looking for something with thr same fit/feel as the K87 but without any branding on the pocket or back (so I can screen print on them. The K87 over sized cut, shrink resistant fabric weight is spot on what I'm looking for but the carhartt patch on the pocket really gets in the way. Best recommendation to match the K87 but without branding?
Carhartt needs to get their poop in a group regarding the K87 sizing. It is absolutely ridiculous to have a size Small actually be the size of a Large, and that is no exaggeration. It's ridiculous how enormous they are. I don't care if it's work wear. Size it properly. Most stores hardly stock enough smalls as it is. To add on top of that the fact that the few smalls they do carry are way too big, a guy like me who is average height and not overweight cannot buy K87's. And I wanted to...
I would love to know from anyone on how the Patagonia work shirt fits. I’ve heard it has a very generous fit. I’m usually a large in regular shirts but I wear a medium in the Carhartt k87. Does it fit similar to the Carhartt k87? I’m really wanting to buy the shirt but I’m afraid it’ll be to big if I get a large. (As the k87 also has a very generous fit which is why I have to go down a size)
This shit works for jobs that don’t require uniform or high safety requirements. I have to wear FR Clothing so most of my stuff is Tyndale benchmark bulwark and carhartt Brands of that nature. Where I don’t get to choose a shirt cause it looks cooler or fits better.
Or a pack of jockey tees from Walmart….thick, breathable and only $16 for a 3 pack 😂😂😂😂(Carl’s like “dude, this channel is upscale, you’re missing the point…”😂😂😂😂😂
Many diehard Patagonia guys (myself including) have turned their backs on the company after their one sided political leanings. One guy I know sold everything and is only wearing Filson now. I don’t know what I find more annoying, when celebrities give political opinions or when clothing companies do it.
@Matt S I agree with your statement about clothing companies, or any companies for that matter, making political opinions. But it's a matter of you can't please all the people all the time. People were outraged by Benchmade a few years ago, but that seems to have become a thing of the past and people are buying and raving about BM knives again. Personally, I think companies/businesses should not have a public political leaning. If the owners and employees have a political opinion, it should be voiced as personal opinions (which is their right), not the company"s opinion.
@@krazmokramer - agreed. Same goes for Springfield Armory, they put their foot in their mouth‘s big time, but their bottom line wasn’t affected so much to where it hurt them. Almost like they’re too big to fail… Kind of like Patagonia.

Thank you for the feedback! It’s so interesting to hear how people work in different conditions and regions.
Carhartt quality went down. I have 2 maybe 3 shirts frommmm 2010-2017. Bought a long sleeve last week and it’s the same quality as a Gildan!!! A gilden.
The shirts I bought a few years ago are still heavier
Now we need the SAME video about work pants.
I agree, I love the Carhartt Double knee pants and I also want to see him review the newer Patagonia Hemo Work jeans.
Duluth long tail have become my go to tee… nothing else stayed tucked in!
As a Wildland firefighter the 1620's thinner, tougher, and fire resistant fabric intrigues me.

1620 has an lifetime warranty too

Carl, your videos are very informative. Your videos seem genuine and it looks like you never want to scam your viewers. Thank You
Carharrt. They don't shrink, they're thick and durable and available in different fit types. All for under $20.
Grab t shirt and something? Free ship from duluth on $50.. Have a collection of k87 yet still find the long tail from duluth just a cut above. May check out some of these others. Thanks for the quality info/vid once again!
Much appreciated!
Under Armour Tech Tees are nice too for high heat conditions.
I have over 20 k87 shirts .love them. And force.
I love that I buy 500$ worth of 1620 pants, but I'm hesitant on buying the shirts and hats lol
The Patagonia are my go-to work T-shirts. Expensive yes but they really last and they're seriously comfortable to wear. Wouldn't wear for summer use for the reason you explained but as a 3-season T shirt or an under shirt in colder weather they're great. Expensive yes but "buy once cry once" I guess.
Yeah I agree, they’re seriously comfortable and a great first layer.

I'm partial to the Filson Short Sleeve Ranger Tee ($38) but its a good list. Thanks for comparing all you have chosen from.

Been waiting for an Ariat video from you for so long. Thanks and keep up the good content.
Thank you man!!!
Thank you Carl for this good video giving all the pros & cons of the tees under review. 👍
On my back now? Carhartt. I’ll look at Patagonia though, as I’m a huge fan of that brand for outerwear.
I think you’ll like them, but just be aware of how strange they feel in the wet.
@@CarlMurawski I agree on the kinda soggy feeling of the Patagonia. Hemp does take in a lot of water, so that could be my only explanation
@@PD-we8vf Great, I'll definitely be bringing more business to them now that I know that
What a great video! Thank you for that, I was completely unaware Patagonia now had a work shirt. For me for years it's been the K87, they fit bigger and can stand lots of weekly washes and I carry my bullet space pen in the pocket. I am going to try the Patagonia.
howd u feel about the patagonia shirt?

@ brian my favorite t shirt. In fact there was a sale on the older model and I bought 10 in addition to the 5 I have.

You sweat bleach ?

I would love for you to do a vid about the best shirt jackts

Carhartt for me, last as long, or longer unless I tear them, and I buy at super casuals, so usually half the price or less of Duluth.
Patagonia work wear T is my favorite of the bunch.
So far I have three K87s and two force tees from Carhartt. Love them. How about a comparision video between K570 and force polo? Would like to dress a bit smarter

Looking forward to the 1620 pants review!
Hey Carl, I'd love to know where you find the background music you put in your videos. Definitely some good music.
I love the Carhartt long sleeve henley, but i hate the colors they have available these days. It never get hot where I live. Record high is 81.

I like the vibrant colors of the shirts in your thumbnail. What brand are they?
Love my k87s but im definitely going to be trying american giant and 1620 for my "good tees" 😂
Hey Carl, I was wondering how tall you are for sizing purposes?
Carhartt force shirts are better than k87
thats what i wear
They’re different for sure. Thinner, much more of a trim cut and they have those raglan sleeves. I like them too.
Never been this early, another great vid
Thanks man!
man i wish they still made craftsman twill shirts.
Duluth trading is my go to now
I don’t wear those cotton t’s anymore. I wear force Delmont. Force technology is great!

Have you conducted any reviews on Ridge Cut ?
Really enjoy their work pants.
I only wear Union Made. 6.1 oz of Cotton and made in the USA
Forgetting about the $10 wrangler shirts
I’m going to order the rebar workman t- shirt. I’m 6ft5 and need the tall sizes
Dickies heavy weight. Which like everything is not as heavy from yesteryear. Pull the labels off now that they have switched from hem to pocket.
Carhartt needs to get their poop in a group regarding the K87 sizing. It is absolutely ridiculous to have a size Small actually be the size of a Large, and that is no exaggeration.

It’s Ariat like Secretariat 🐎
Does anyone have 1620 shirts? I want to get them but I've always had an issue with shirts shrinking in the dryer and I'm wondering if these shrink
So carhartt then
I can only wear natural fibers.
I would love to know from anyone on how the Patagonia work shirt fits. I’ve heard it has a very generous fit. I’m usually a large in regular shirts but I wear a medium in the Carhartt k87.

Hey Carl could you review some arborwear clothes? I’m really interested in their workwear. Great vids btw
