Grown rather fond of this brand of clothing. Recently discovered they make long sleeve heavy weight loose fit T-Shirts. Can you say "comfortable"? They're not cheap but they feel great! Just the right weight instead of wearing a heavy flannel. Love that they sell a true tall sized as well. Always thought seeing people wearing this stuff was a gimmick but now I get it

Been wearing it for years and couldn't agree more.
Our son, all 6'7" of him, appreciates the sizing too😎
 
I used to run a heavy Carhartt coat in the winter (actually had two of them over the years). Not sure of the model but they were heavy tan canvas on the outside and they were well built. They put up with years of crawling around under old trucks. Sure, they became a little worn here and there but they never failed. Zippers lasted too.
 
It's well made clothing, although it's become kind of trendy.
Staple among contractors for outdoor clothing.
I've had some of my tees and LS tees for close to 10 years.
 
Well I am still a "kid" (at least in my mind), but definitely NOT rich :D But, I have tried all different kind of T-Shirt brands. They either don't fit well, they shrink so badly after one wash my little baby granddaughters would fit them, or they're just plain uncomfortable. I always see a lot of product placement watching NCIS reruns. Seems Mark Harmon shows the brand a lot with T's, jackets, outer shirts and so on.
I have a Lee heavy corduroy jacket I picked up at Sam's for like $20. Kind of an "imitation" Carhartt. It's pretty decent. Warm enough and I like it has an angled zippered breast pocket that is large enough that even my largest "EDC protective device" fits in perfectly and is easy to remove if needed. And it doesn't "print". But, one day I would like to get some actual Carhartt outer wear as well.
Who knows? Maybe I can start making Hip Hop videos :D

If you verify with ID me for veteran status you get a discount when you order direct from Carhardt
 
Dickies's started in Ft. Worth. Their coats aren't as good, but I wear their 874 Work pants to work. They look more like dress pants and they are indestructible. I wish Carhartt made something similar. Carhartt's K87 t-shirts are just really boxy on me but I like them for actually doing work outside. I like their Force T-shirts a lot better, especially for warmer months.
 
Tried the Force. MEH. Don't like the feel of the material. Did not fit me well either. But, then I may be older and in worse shape :D

So, I gotta ask. What does wearing canvas feel like? I think of canvas and I think it is the last thing I want on my body

I was reluctant to try these; a decade ago or longer I bought a Carhartt style that felt like they were made from a tent. The difference in feel is like night and day and, to me, these 98% cotton-2% spandex canvas are very comfortable. IMO the name "flex relaxed fit" describes them well but I've never had any other brand to compare these with.

Those regular Carhartt shirts are great for being in denial about what size I actually wear!

Well, I've gone down from using XXL to just L And wife says the L is still a little too big but they don't make a tall in medium so I'm stuck with a more baggy fit to have the length I want.
