Work Clothing

For parts of the country the weather is breaking and spring is on it’s way. It is especially helpful to dress in layers right now. Colder morning temperatures make it necessary to wear insulated bibs and a heavy coat and by lunch time this is no longer needed and the coat can be shed. A few more weeks and we will be looking for a shade tree and wearing summer weight garments.

Many times small business’s  don’t stand a chance, but my supplier is Carhartt, the maker of bib overalls and other work clothing and that is the reason I can run with the big dogs. If I buy 50 units of product and a big farm store buys 5000  units the price per unit is the same. They do get a few perks that I don’t, but in the end I am satisfied with the outcome. Generally the more you buy the lower the price, and the “little guy” gets snuffed out.

Being self employed has it’s ups and downs but this mother of three is happy to still be in the game.

Carhartt Flame-Resistant Clothing, hard hats and hi visiblity clothing are very commonly required safety items on many jobs these days.

The high risk jobs have become safer in recent years due to requirements, not suggestions for every employee to meet or exceed certain safety standards.

These items can prove to be costly and we will never know how much we saved!

Carhartt, the maker of the famous bib overalls, has a clothing line for women and children too. If your kids play as hard as most people work, then Carhartt brand is for you!

What we thought was one of the last chances to play in the snow has turned out to be anything but. Since this picture was taken we have had half a dozen more playable snowfalls here in WV.

Hamilton Carhartt a true entrepreneur in his day began with a vision and a simple, comfortable piece of work clothing that forever changed his life and generations to come.

Carhartt bibs are synonymous with quality, comfort and durability. Many companies have their version of the good old brown duck bibs, but if it doesn’t say “Carhartt” it’s not the best!

When my great granddaddy was a young man camo insulated bibs were unheard of. In those days deer were scarce and only the very best hunters would get one.

Nowadays, hunters of all ages and skill levels have the benefit of all kinds of gadgets and gear to aid in the success of appearing to be “a mighty hunter!” And after you get your deer, you can take a picture with your camera phone and the world can see your deer before  you even leave the field! Too much!

Being prepared to spend a shift in these conditions is just plain wise. Without the proper gear you will be at least miserable if not clocking out early because you are too cold to do your job.

Carhartt insulated bibs , coats and accessories are the choice of many workers who know that they live up to their reputation of being durable and warm. Yes, compared to some clothing lines, Carhartt can feel like an investment, but for those who have spent the extra money and got quality  workwear, they are lifetime customers.

It is a wonderful thing when you have to make a decision and you are well informed and can answer confidently and rest assured there is no need to second guess yourself.. If only more decisions in life were so easy. Sometimes we have to rely on  the wisdom and knowledge of others and trust they know their stuff. Carhartt is work clothing company with a reputation you can trust. Established in 1889 by Hamilton Carhartt with one area of focus, the railroad worker and his need for a durable garment to do his job in comfortably.

Today Carhartt has hundreds of items in their line but the insulated overalls and unlined bib overalls remain strong sellers in a market flooded with competitors working for their piece of the pie.

Got winter?                  

Need Carhartts!  

Hello from northern WV where it feels as though spring  will never arrive.  Here at the Carhartt shop where I sell the entire line, the men’s insulated bib overalls are the top seller. One day it is sunny and breezy and the next you have to get the snow shovel back out. One exteme then the other makes it hard for all the southern drillers to know how to dress. Soon it will be Spring for real and that day can’t come soon enough after this long winter.

You gotta make fun wherever you go. Life is too short. These silly girls are supposed to be helping their Mom put out inventory and run the sweeper… but left unsupervised or maybe I suggested the fun… hmmmm. In any case.. this is a fun time filling out these big boy size blue denim jean from Carhartt. Insulated bib overalls would make a fun picture as well.

Lighten up and enjoy your silly teenagers before they are grown.
