Default Carhartt jackets are junk.

Just a little rant everyone that thinks Carhartt is great, it is actual just overpriced garbage.
I have a few Carhartt hoodies and jackets, had a few now that after a few washes they fade like crazy and the zippers just fall off in the washing machine
To me if I spend a $100 on a hoody I expect it to last.

True test is their response to a warrantee request.

I was never a Carhart fan.

I use carhartt overalls in my shop at home. Also find carhartt jeans last a long time.
With that being said it does seem like the quality in their overalls has gone down hill over the last 10 years. Seams just dont hold together like they used to. Could just be that I refuse to buy a bigger size and my body style is hard on seams...Probably outsourced their manufacturing or materials like many other companies that were once great.

I used to wear their pants for Upland hunting. Tried Dickies and actually prefer them.

I think the problem is expecting any hoodie to last. I go through a few every year and I expect nothing less. Pick them up as cheep as possible whenever I can.

Carhartt pants a bibs have usually lasted me fairly well. I usually get 6 to 8 months or so out of them.

PS I'm pretty hard on work wear.
These are also a good pair of pants. Prefer them over the Carhartts buy a little bit but can't get a work discount on them. https://www.duluthtrading.com/mens-f...gid=mens-pants

Ya, the flaps are not really useful. It does neatly tuck into the large pocket and doesn't bother me. Sure better than one pair I had (dickes I think) that the Slim leg pocket wasn't a pocket at all. It had no stitching on the bottom. Had to stitch it myself....
