  • Workwear. The stuff you see on the tired guy with mud on his boots at the gas station, the stuff that is designed to protect its wearer first and foremost. Two giants in this space are Carhartt and Dickies. People swear by each and typically stay pretty loyal to their brand of choice. Dickies people say that Carhartt is overpriced and they can get the same quality without the expensive name for less money. Carhartt people are even more loyal and tend to dress from head to toe in the brand, valuing the long history and solid track record.
    So when looking at work jackets it's easy to see the value in Dickies. For what looks like a very similar jacket, the price is about $35 less - no small amount especially for an apprentice or someone early in their career. Have a look at the Carhartt Active Jac versus the Dickies Rigid Duck Hooded Jacket: they look pretty damn similar. Both are 100% duck canvas work jackets with hoods and rib knit hems. They look like the jackets you'll find on the backs of working people in colder climates. So which is the jacket for you?

    Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
    I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better.

      Much appreciated man! In my mechanic days we had those terrible Red Kap uniforms which would light on fire whenever we welded. Plus their jackets were just lightly quilted polyester and weren't good below 40 degrees, which made me get my first Carhartt jacket. Dickies is great and if you work in an especially dirty industry they might be a better buy, but if you keep your clothing for a few years I think Carhartt is better overall.

    I've worn Dickies work pants for the past 13 years working as a machinist. My last pair that I purchased I noticed that they changed their fabric of ALL their pants and not for the better. It feels a lot thinner to the point where they almost fell like dress pants. I might be switching to a different brand soon.

    Good catch on the knitted cuffs - they do wear but then again my Dickies jacket has gotten a bit worn down all over from constant use. Their canvas carpenter pants are good value too.

I still own both jackets (one of which I bought as a 3rd yr apprentice 19 years ago, the other is over 10 years old) and a pair of bibs (19 years old). The only reason I bought a 2nd pair of bibs is because I caught the leg on fire cutting steel pipe as an idiot apprentice. I owned 1 Dickies coat that lasted less than 2 years.

    I can definitely see a difference in the jackets. And around here Carhartt is what most guys wear. I'm a fan of the Dickies cotton duck carpenter pants over the similar Carhartt. Nothing wrong with the Carhartt's just don't fit me as well. There is a difference between the black tag Dickies made in Mexico or Honduras vs the red tag ones at Walmart. Definitely better off going to the local farm store and getting the black tag model for a couple dollars more.

But i do love my carhartt active jackets, got one in thermal, one in quilted nylon and one in sherpa lining, also have my chore coat which looks great on the weekends, my double front work pants are still solid as hell too. i grew up with dickies and still every day use it as part of my uniform, but it doesn't compare to the quality of them U.S made carhartts!

    Labour costs come into it as well. I have both Carhartt and Dickies canvas coats and jackets. Instead of studs on the waist band and cuffs, the Dickies have the big heavy duty buttons( like on jean waistband) These are just the same style.

    Working outside and by the sea,I really needed a warm workwear jacket.First i bought Dickies Portland which is poly flannel exterior and poly padded quilt inside for 35 usd.I was amazed how warm this thing was in temperatures between 40 and 50F.But I wanted an upgrade since it started showing some tear and wear so i ended up buying Carhartt Traditional Sandstone jacket with arctic quilt lining for 140 usd.Fit was perfect so is the looks.But..it's not as warm as the flannel dickies one which really disappointed me.I probably blame the sandstone duck cotton exterior which even though is much more tough against abrasion,doesn't seem to provide enough insulation against constant blowing cold sea breeze.I know that they 're not comparable not even close.Carhartt is a proper-proper jacket with excellent details and stitching and Portland Dickies is a flannel shirt-jacket.But because of the "field testing"results i ended up wearing the carhartt on all other occasions but not at work.. Your videos are great and a very useful guide for all who work or do stuff outdoors

    13 years ago I got the Dickie jacket from Walmart when I was 17/18. It was super cheap and just needed a winter jacket for work as a general labour. I've since retired the jacket to an outdoor home work jacket since I have to wear FR. Ive had the jacket for for almost 13 years and it is finally starting to wear out. Their are a few small small holes in the shoulder and the cuffs are starting to fray. Back then the quality was much higher and had a pen pocket and better stitching etc. When i rebuy a new work jacket I'll be getting a Carhartt.

    This is an excellent demonstration of why sometimes expensive is better value , all the tiny bits no one would notice make a massive difference,

    I've worn Dickie my whole life, I bought carhartt for the first time just recently. The differences between the two were obvious to me from the start. And I can tell you without hesitation that carhartt is definitely a better product. And well worth the extra money. I'll never go back to Dickie. Dickie used to make a good product, but it seems that over the years the quality has diminished. I guess that's what happens when you start producing your products in China.

  • @ChrisLoganToronto

    Glad to see the updates on the Carhartt. I think this is the jacket I had while working on the Rail Road. I worked out of Toronto where it is cold and very damp. The coat was warm. The exposed cuffs did wear badly around the wrists and a bit around the waist. The thing I hated was the waist cuff. Any big movements, like climbing ladders on rail cars had it climb up your torso, leaving you exposed. I currently have a Carhartt Full Swing Relaxed Fit Insulated Coat. I love it. Unfortunately, the YKK zipper has a crooked tooth at the very bottom and it gives me problems. Have to see about a replacement zipper. BTW, square zipper on this one.

    I've had few jackets from both brands. I typically like Carhartt more once they're broken in, but every once in a while I see the Dickies Hooded Quilted Jacket for $40-50 and pick one up. They're also great and I don't mind ruining them as much as a $120 Carhartt.

    The j130 is one of my favorite carhartt coat's. The new additions to this coat have made me were this on and off the job site . I also own the full swing Armstrong active coat and there are nice touches to that coat but i don't think it is warmer than J130 especially for the cost difference. I would love to see the full swing shoulders on the J130 with that and the elbow room it would be absolutely a winner but still a great coat with new updates. Truly not a dickies fan and I'm not saying there clothing is bad but there is always that little step above that makes carhartt the better option. Great video and keep them coming.

    i've been a loyal Dickie's customer for over 13 years, but i'm switching to Carhartt in the future & probably not gonna go back. i probably owned 30+ Dickie's garments in the past 13 years, including pants, shirts, outerwear. i must say, they are not really comfortable, but because they are very durable & care-free & very cheap, i still chose Dickie's.
    but in recent years, i witnessed the gradual deterioration in their quality. the final strew that broke my loyalty is the extremely poor stitching on their hook & loop patches. last year i bought a pair of shorts, the hook & loop patch on the shorts' thigh pocket was torn off within 2 weeks of use. this year, i bought the Dickie's Pro Cordura bomber jacket & the inner pocket's hook & loop patch was torn off after 2 USES. FUCKING. 2. USES. on a Dickie's "Pro" garment. you call this durable workwear? this is just absurd.
    Carhartt is like 15-25% pricier in my country than the US, but the hell with it. next time i'm buying new workwear, it's gonna be a Carhartt!!!!!

Has roots in the legendary Levi’s brand and also a staple in the streetwear genre along with Carhartt and Dickies. They’re not as prominent as the latter, but still a significant contributor in quality to the workwear aesthetic as the rest. They even have an exclusive Japanese line for us fashionistas.

    I have slowly but successfully converted my entire wardrobe to Duluth Trading Co. I'm a 5'11 150lb. build so I comfortably wear a medium but the lengths are on the short side so I used to buy large which I would swim in. Duluth offers medium tall in almost everything they offer which is important to me. That being said, I purchased the DTC Superior Fire Hose Hooded Jacket last year and It is worth every penny paid ($179.99). I'm a fabrication painter and wear quite a bit of equipment for 12-16 hours so comfort is a priority. Anyone who has worn the Duluthflex fire hose canvas pants knows how comfortable and tough they are. The jacket is no different.
