Can't go wrong with Carhartt.

Carhartt has fallen in quality. They used to be Union made in the U.S.A. Now they are made wherever. I have a U.S. made winter jacket that is 15 years old and still looks relatively unworn. My boss has the same style and color jacket, but it’s 6 years old and made in Mexico. His is fading and the stitching is coming apart on the cuffs and has a hole wearing in one of the elbows. We both work office jobs.

Oh man, it's been a while since I've bought any. What a shame.

I completely agree. They were my favorite brand too until I started hearing from my construction friends that the coveralls started wearing out in 6 months. My boss’ jacket was the nail in the coffin for me. I hear Duluth Trading Company is the way to go now for that type of outer wear. I don’t have any experience with them personally but when I retire my Carhartt I’m making the switch.

Came here to say this. Love my Carhartt. Just got one of their hoodies too, already loving it.
