Work Clothing

This little Carhartt bib overall clad 1 year old is very busy mastering his walking skills and it won’t be long before his play tools are traded in for the real ones.  Only God knows the plans he has for this young man. I  pray that when his feet are done growing  they will be comfortable in the shoes that our Heavenly Father has assigned him. Some lives are lived trying to be something or someone we were not meant to be.

I have often wondered why we ask our children ” What   do you want to be when you grow up ?” As if what you do IS who you are and  your identity is in your occupation. How sad. I would love to hear , ” I want to be a fulfilled christian, who trusts in the Lord, Always. I work full time at a job I enjoy and all my material needs are more than met.

I pray this growing boy will be a God honoring man living life to the fullest.

After 25 years in the business of  brick inspecting , Mark has worked better than half of his life taking notice of details in his work. This habit carries over to his personal life also. While speaking with Mark about Carhartt brand clothing and their reputation, I was pleasantly surprised at his views on the products.  He says that “You get what you pay for and if you want good quality you can’t be cheap. Quality products, or services in his line of work, will cost a  bit more but in the long run are well worth the extra money spent.

You have heard the saying.” It helps to have the right tools for the job.” Never has there been a more accurate statement. The project pictured here is a new high school in rural, hilly, WV. When completed it will appear to be somewhat built into the side of a small mountain.

Site preparation has been a long process and the transformation is near completion. Students can observe the progress daily, as it is on the way to the current facility.

These pieces of heavy equipment are right for this job. Some of the workers operating these machines are wearing Carhartt bib overalls. Carhartt clothing is a great choice because of it’s durable nature.

You can read all day and hear all you want, but getting right into the action is where it is at! Agree? This little Carhartt worker man had allot of questions to ask on this day of renovations to his Grandparents home place. Built in 1887  by his great, great, great grandfather, and birthplace of his grandmother, and childhood home of his mother. This is a special project, indeed!

With some care and planning this Carhartt clad Cutie will be the one applying the next round of caulking and paint to “The Dear Old House”

Carhartt, a clothing manufacturer, has a similar story. Founded in 1889 and family run ever since, now into it’s fourth generation. Appreciation of historic significance is important to instill in today’s youth.

In today’s fast paced, high tech. world, there are less and less people who appreciate history and antiques to the extent that they are willing to invest more into restoration than it would cost to build a new structure.

Well this old building is one exception.. it is loved and appreciated indeed! Written history is proudly displayed of store owners names and years in business, as far back as 1882! You guessed it ! the floors are NOT level and no one complains. This is the home of Hammels Clothing & Boot LLC and this business sells Carhartt clothing. Carhartt clothing dates back to 1889 when it began manufacturing work clothing.

My neat old building has Carhartt by 7 years!!  What a great combination, a company with a long history selling to a retailer who operates out of an equally historic setting.

When at work or play,  the good ol’ bib overall can’t be beat for protection, comfort and warmth.

Unlined bib overalls in the warm weather allow air movement and freedom of movement without all the constraints of waist bands and belts, and at the same time they will protect your legs.

Lined bib overalls in cooler or even frigid conditions are a great choice. Quilt lined bibs are warm and arctic lined bibs are even warmer, and when you consider that bib overalls have room to spare, which will allow for additional layering, that makes them versatile for many conditions.

Carhartt bib overalls… For  any weather.

How cute is this? The big boys and girls can wear Carhartt clothes and now even the littlest can  be stylin’  in the diaper covers now offered. In a blink of an eye they will be ready for bib overalls, but for now…enjoy the diapers.

Many oohs and aahs can be heard as customers enjoy seeing the new products that have just arrived. Sold in size 3 month and on up through the T sizes into boys and then mens. A lifetime of quality Carhartt. Ready for every adventure that comes along, from playing hard to working hard… Carhartt has you covered.

What’s in a name? you ask…. Depends on what that name is. If you say … “Tell me the first thing that comes to mind when I say Carhartt?” the top 3 answers, in my experienced opinion,  would be.. bib overalls, brown duck clothes, and durable products.

Carhartt has made a name for  themselves and it is a good name. Founded over 120 years ago, surviving through tough times and to continuing to be a leader in a highly competitive world.

Those who wear Carhartt appreciate the durability and wear the name proudly. They are workers, who want to be respected and labeled as “hard workers” like Carhartt.

It does not matter if you are talking about  1910 or 2010 when the question of  “what are the best clothes to work in ?”comes up. Decades ago it was thought that only poor people wore bib overalls and some of the reasons were that they were very  roomy and would fit many sizes,  because they were worn very baggy, and made cheaply. 

 Today’s bib overalls are sold by waist and inseam sizes and can be purchased in a number of colors and finishes. Carhartt, a work clothing manufacturer, has been producing bib overalls for over 120 years and it is my prediction that the bib overall will be around forever!

If you have never worked or played in a pair of bib overalls….you are just plain missin’ out! No belt tugging at your waist and no elastic cutting into you… Just freedom of movement and comfort that cannot be denied.

Bib overalls! Bib overalls! I say from experience…. don’t worry if you look like you come from the county!!  because that’s where all the naturally good stuff comes from.!!
