Work Clothing

After 15 years of selling the Carhartt line of clothing, I am of the thinking that everyday of the year denim is popular. What changes with the seasons is the weight of the denim and maybe the style and of course lined denim for the colder times.

Denim jeans come in several styles and washes and are available from hundreds of manufacturers. I would imagine the price could range from $10.00 to $300.00 or more if you really wanted to get extravagant.

Carhartt makes several styles and washes of denim  and along with these are the always popular denim bib overalls. These are one of my personal favorites!

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!

To his co workers he was   ”Steve O”  and he was notorious for keeping the job site lively.  As a customer in my Carhartt shop he was equally entertaining and very enthusiastic about finding so many Carhartt overalls and other items he wanted in stock. A true Carhartt fan.

The clown on your crew may not be the hardest worker but what would you do without them?

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!

If you own a pair of Carhartt lined or unlined bib overalls and maybe a hoody or coat then you may think of Carhartt as a company who only makes work clothing for the manual laborer. Think again! The Carhartt line of clothing includes some very stylish and durable casual items as well. Camo hunting clothing, cargo shorts and pants, chambray shirts, ripstop fabric clothing, textured fleece and great looking polo shirts, just to name a few and I haven’t even mentioned the ladies clothing! Let’s start with great looking denim jeans in several styles and washes, cami tanks and beautiful plaid shirts for spring, cargo shorts and ripstop capri’s in solids and camo, are we having fun yet? Also for the ladies are several new bright colors this season like watermelon, and grape heather. So if this Carhartt selling girl is smiling it’s because she enjoys her job and Carhartt keeps  giving her new, fresh, fun lines to sell.

A rubberized rain coat or plastic poncho is not rain gear  for the working person. A quick fix for a game  maybe, but if you are working out in the elements you know that being soaked to the bone for a whole shift is miserable.

Carhartt, the manufacturer of Carhartt bib overalls and hundreds of other items, has top quality water-proof, breathable rain gear. These items are abrasion and tear resistant and most importantly “breathable”.  What that means is you won’t generate body heat and sweat like you do when you wear a rubberized product. Carhartt gear allows your perspiration to evaporate and this is key if you don’t want to miss a step in performing you duties in all kinds of weather.

Add several big orange pumpkins, a farmer in denim bib overalls and some bright yellow mums, I am happy now! The picture is perfect.

Commercial farming does not have the charm pictured here. We all love this country scene and especially appreciate the antique tractor. A reminder of simpler times, just remember it does not mean easier times.

This is very simple but many people fail to follow my advice. When you buy a new Carhartt garment write down the style and size and tuck it away. Carhartt clothing lasts a long time and most often the white tag inside will be so worn out from washing that you cannot read the style or size and wish you could when you decide it is time to purchase new.  This happens the most with Carhartt overalls probably because you buy them bigger than your jean size and bigger still to go over your other clothes it sounds like a really big number to some folks!  Easy to do and you will be glad you did.
