Carhart clothes/ mandate

Damn,

Is there anyone else left that still makes actual men's clothing? I buy Carhartt almost exclusively because they are designed to be worn by actual men. The pants aren't made from T-shirt fabric and have room for the boys. Most other brands are just rebranded women's clothing.

Someone or a group of people who work there should file a lawsuit under violation of HIPAA, no? My understanding is that a company has no right to inquire about an employees medical information.

They've been going downhill for years, T's and jeans made Mx..
 
Carhart is foreign garbage.

They can go f themselves.

Mark my words, they will go nearly as woke as Levi's and will show rural scenes with wymen and trannies doing all of the "work".

Hell, all of the Juan Deere teevee commercials around here just show gurls pretending to work with tractors.

That is the case here in the Netherlands. So they design a QR code, which you can get either by being vaccinated, recovered or tested. The QR code itself does not say which of the three so it's no longer asking people's medical conditions. Germany, Austria and Italy (Familiar combination of countries) have put mandates into place... Which IIRC they do on the basis of some kind of version of the general welfare clause. You actually have people here saying, with a straight face, that essentially if a bureaucrat determines the public welfare is at risk, ALL your rights can be suspended...
 
Whatever don't care. I like the product and will still by them. I don't have any pants that arean't carhartt. Boycotts are stupid leftist crap.

You can't purchase from their competitor temporarily (while maybe they go out of business or reverse the decision)? Boycotts are not leftist. It's capitalism. You vote with your dollars.

Do you guys have a good alternative? It's all fine and dandy to say you won't buy them, but that only works if someone produces an alternative that moreso aligns with your politics. Probably even harder if you cut out "foreign garbage" since there aren't any textiles made in the US anymore. What are you supposed to do, get everything from a custom tailor?

Simply shopping at 2nd hand stores for 6 months or a year will have a significant affect on their sales.

You can still get "American made" Carharts you've just gotta look a little harder than clicking "Buy it now".

I'll give my $4-500 a year to the Starvation Army or Good-Will, maybe E-Bay...

I checked online and found that their top competitors are "Duluth Trading Company", "Dickies" and "Levi Strauss & Co". There are more competitors at the URL below:

Ariat is a good alternative.
 
The t shirts cost way too much for a foreign/ cheap labor product. The coveralls and bibs are about the same quality as the other brands ( Walls , Berne etc ) as far as I can tell . The jackets , bibs and coveralls are all I need as the other stuff can be bought cheaper and just as good in other brands .I buy most of mine second hand anyway.
 
Everything is made overseas as far as I have seen. I recently looked for winter clothing for a new job. Finally just decided on Carhartt. Bought some water-proof boots, a hoody and a set of Storm Defenders bibs and jacket.
As far as quality I can't complain. The boots have performed in mud, rain and snow for 2 months. No leaks. The hoody does a great job with warmth. Sheds light rain/snow. I've only used the bibs and jacket one time. Freezing rain. Kept me warm and dry.
If someone asked me on outdoor work wear I'd recommend Carhartt.
If someone can recommend an American made company from start to finish let me know. I'd pay more, but it would have to perform as well.
