Work Clothing

Not just anyone can fill the “boss’s shoes”. We all seem to find it easy to comment and criticize their decisions at times but when it comes right down to it, not many people are  cut out to be in that position. Many people only want his paycheck and not his frustrations and responsibilities.

Carhartt is best known for it’s Carhartt lined bib overalls and many know they have an entire line of clothing. This company knows allot about how to run an effective company, and for good reason, they have been in business since 1889.

This job requires flame resistant clothing  and in recent years, Carhartt flame-resistant clothing has become a sizable division in the Carhartt line.

This risky occupation would surely cause some worry for the family of the lineman who gets called out in the worst of storms to perform his duties and restore service.

The talk is that there is plenty of work here, that the 40 & 50 year old workers will retire during this job. Wow is my response, who would have ever guessed that this quiet community had riches beneath. Many complain of the traffic and the mess but I personally am very thankful for it. Every project has it’s messes and this one is definitely no exception but the local economy is booming. Many workers have relocated  their families and are here to stay.

My living is made selling Carhartt bibs and all the other great work-wear they are famous for. Lucky me… these workers already knew what Carhartt clothing is  and are glad to have a shop nearby.

Lisa Hammel, the owner of a retail clothing shop specializes in Carhartt brand apparel and has for over 15 years.

Carhartt bib overalls insulated and unlined are the top sellers in her retail shop in northern West Virginia. In recent months her community has been flooded with “rough necks”.. which are drillers from all over the country.

While visiting with her customers, she asks “where is home for you?” Many times the answer is Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama. My true appreciation to the new business flow cannot be fully put into words because just two short years ago, my business was near bankruptcy.  This busy working mom of three is very pleased to have stayed the course when the economy pointed towards bailing out.

The windy north west can be brutal for farmers. mens insulated bib overalls are a trusted garment for all farmers who have to function in all weather conditions.

This  picture  is just one example of clean energy sources being used and perfected. We continue to try to do the right thing for our environment and our health.

So we all like choices and we all have at least a few pairs of denim jeans.. and belts to hold them up with or just make them look nice. Carhartt has allot of stylish belts and these are just a few of the women’s belts.

Carhartt bibs are a great choice for work if you want to skip the belt and be comfortable and not have your britches hit the ground. And the top reason to not go for the belt and britches approach is if you are a big fella and you don’t want to show off your backside.  Just say NO!

The proper tools and the proper clothing would be  at the top of the list of important things to carry out your outside job.

In the northeast this week we are experiencing ice and snow and everyone here is in their  carhartt insulated bibs and waterproof boots. Most are ready for spring and have endured more than average amounts of snow, ice and cold temps.

Before Junior wants his first set of camo insulated bibs , juniors Daddy and Mommy are having fun wearing camo onsies on him… a real live baby doll. Carhartt even makes some fun girlie camo in vintage rose. You will also notice diaper covers for the little ones also. Kid sized fun now offered by a company who outfits the serious worker and has for over 120 years.

Carhartt was founded in 1889 by Hamilton Carhartt. Many changes have been seen in the ways we manufacture things and in our farming practices and most current requirement for workers in the gas and oil industry and for electrical workers is the need for Carhartt Flame-Resistant Clothing  This new type of material keeps the worker safe in case of a flash fire. A very old company has stayed in tune with the times, and that is what it takes to survive.

I don’t care who you are.. these are adorable. I have seen even the most serious man, smile at the sight of these little diaper covers. Made to be worn as a baby overall… much cuter than a pamper ..even if Elmo is  on it!

It happens quicker than we care to think and then these little garments are keep sakes in a trunk and our little boys are wearing size 38X30 insulated overalls and are driving tractors. Maybe someday the little cover will come back out of the trunk and be worn by his son!
