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.

But enjoyed by a woman. Sounds like an old soap commercial.

In 1889 Hamilton Carhartt started manufacturing bib overalls for railroad workers and it wasn’t until just a few years ago that a style was specifically made and labeled for a ladies figure. Now there are a number of reasons why it really doesn’t matter!!! for one, men’s denim bib overalls from Carhartt can be ordered in dozens of waist and inseam size combinations, so it would be easy for we girls to wear men’s bibs. And secondly, it is not meant to be a fashion statement. Bib overalls are almost a tool that makes a job easier! You can move easy and they are so comfortable.

So thanks Carhartt for acknowledging your female customers.

How could it be any better? This is one of the best pictures I have seen in some time. It is usually the puppy or kitten pictures that make you go awwww but this set of newborn calves are precious. This is a lucky young man who is trusted by the mama cow and can share in this moment. Animals have a keen sense of when to trust. It is an old farmer in his overalls calling his special call to his herd who knows these things the best.  The relationship is learned and earned and not taught or bought.

Any driven female will tell you that half the battle, of being a successful  woman in a mans world , is dependent upon your stubbornness factor. Skill is important, knowledge is important, education plays a role and work experience helps… but without the self discipline, to hang tough and endure uncomfortable or less than appealing situations, all the great things you have going for you are lost.

Rosie the Riveter was a tough gal. Clad in her denim overalls wielding the man tools and doing the job that needed done.  I am sure she took her share of bayer aspirin  after her shift.

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.

Do you like to live life to the fullest… I do. I love to set goals, make plans and then work to achieve them. I personally feel that  leisure time is a must. Planning a getaway and looking forward to it  are almost half the fun. The getaway serves as a reward or incentive to put your nose to the grindstone and work hard and when it is time to clock out and enjoy the reward, it is very well deserved.

When I am working around the yard and in the barn, Carhartt unlined bib overalls are my pick for work clothing. They are tough and comfortable. In some ways, Carhartt helps in ways that even they aren’t aware of!

You know her as bib girl if you know her at all. She is confident on a good day.. she is a little tired, most days and she smiles almost always! She is the single Mom, who wears all the hats and who would get overwhelmed if she looked at  the whole picture, so she doesn’t.

She sells denim bib overalls and loves to wear them also.  She can fit a customer in a set of bibs in 3 tries or less and knows this talent will never make her rich, but she loves life and loves her kids and knows God is in control. Follow the link and if you like Carhartt brand… talk to “bib girl” she will take good care of you.

Is it good to be the boss? Not always, depending on who the company is and what responsibility goes with the hat! Many leadership positions have to be earned from the ground up…one rung at a time. A well rounded leader has done all of the jobs himself at one time or another and he knows first hand, how it’s done.  His pay scale may be higher but his responsibilities are a great deal higher also. He may or may not get to clock out with the rest of the crew, especially if there is trouble on a job.  Driven leaders never clock out, their minds are on the task pretty much 24/7 and they love the challenge of setting the pace for their crew and getting the best they have to offer. The instill team spirit and area pleasure to work for.  Carhartt bib overalls are part of a winning team of work clothes that most know of and trust to perform to high standards.

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!
