This comes as a huge surprise to me considering their customers.

Ok but WHICH Democrats?

Oh god, let the rednecks know. I would shit to see them burning their best work clothes!

(The brand really is all that and a bag of chips. Good shit.)

There was a lot of controversy over Carhartt in 2022. I can't remember if it was related to COVID or LGBTQ support, but most of my co-workers were adamant about a boycott. Memory is short; all of them still wear the jackets and beanies this winter.

Iirc it was them being pro vaccine. My old carhart jackets were still good but I went and bought another after that anyway.

[–] IMongoose@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

I never would have expected that.

I used to like Carhartt. But it's yet another rug pull

They made good stuff for a while. Then got bought out and now make dog shit.

Bought two Carhartt jeans. Both had the same rip in the crotch after a year of use. Just work pants. Sitting in an office.

You want good jeans? Roundhouse jeans. Made somewhere in America. I love em. Expensive but I'd rather pay 70 now then 59 every year.

Shirts? Eh. I have a few Carhartt and those are fine so far. But there's a reason why old Carhartt clothes still go for a good chunk of change.

I've been trying to buy more made in America stuff. Local jobs and all that. Carhartt used to advertise that everything was made in the USA but stopped when they moved their manufacturing to China. They didn't advertise that they're now made cheap and probably just a white label on something but hey. It's your money.

Buy local when you can. And fuck Duluth. I figured I'd get that in there while I could.

Apparently most Roundhouse jeans are made abroad. Only the ones you buy from their factory website are US made.

[–] BigSadDad@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Ah. I only ever bought from their website. I didn't know they sold them in stores.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

From what I understand they designate some of their stuff to be nice work wear they still make for folks who need it, and some they designate as more fashion.

That's how they balance their huge increase in demand from what I understand, rather than just selling nothing but crap, or ignoring that lots of people want their clothes for the branding alone

[–] BigSadDad@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Ah. So I have to hope I'm getting the good product and not the bad product while paying the same inflated price!

Fun. I love RNG in my clothes

Thats fair. The world we live in is pretty stupid. There might be some way to check which is which, but I don't remember

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hmm, just bought a North Face jacket today. Maybe I should have looked at the Carhartt stuff.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

90% of North Face is overpriced garbage that barely passes the bar that Target sets.

There are plenty of boutique and quality brands that pay their workers well, but they won't make you feel the same clout because nobody knows their logo.

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Every jacket i’ve ever bought from them has lasted years (usually until I unfortunately lose it).

Shows up on your link for me

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I mean I literally posted a screenshot from the app.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)
[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

That is what the website shows for me, but not the app. Idk

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry for my initial snarky reply, I thought you meant you were unable to locate them as a business.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Ha, no worries! I was just confused. I still am, but I was also.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 hours ago

I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled. Everything else on the page for the app looks like it should be the same as your screenshot vs mine.

[–] nailingjello@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

I tried searching as well, but couldn't duplicate your screenshot. No idea what happened.
