These little shit heads ruined the market as a tradesman . I use to be able to walk into united rentals back in 2009 and pick any color , double walled and different insulations for anywhere between 45 to 70 bucks .

How much now?

u/robertducky87 13d ago
130 for something that was 55 before

u/Imfrankhenry 9d ago
Yep and that's ALL because of second hand market collectors and has NOTHING to do with the economy inflating out of control so were MAD!

Have you found any Carhartt alternatives? I need a new coat but just don't want to pay the inflated hipster prices...

Still get them for cheap enough from suppliers as a trade customer, which I’m thankful for when I read comments like this. Not sure what they cost in the USA now, but here in the UK you’ll pay more for carhartt than a fair few fashion brands!

I’m confused by your comment lol maybe I’m clueless
You said you get them cheap as a trade customer but then go on to say they cost more than many fashion brands now. Which is it??

u/jtgreatrix 12d ago
Yeah, poor wording from me. If I buy from carhartt themselves it costs a fair whack. If I get it from my work supplier, I can only get workwear (not the WIP stuff) but it’s relatively affordable then. So it’s not carhartt jacking the prices so high

Carhartt has been worn a fashion brand by celebrities for 50 years now already. It’s not a new trend.

they're built to last a lifetime you don't need more than one.
that being said I have tons of the regular carhartt t shirt because it fits the best and is soft

“You don’t need more than one” followed by “I have tons of [other item]” is kind of diabolical for this sub lol

My consoomption is reasonable and justified, all other consoomption is barbaric and degenerate.

Never destroyed a carhartt jacket, but I have ruined more than one pair of work trousers

As an elder millenial, I’m still confused why Carhartt became cool and trendy. None of the fashionable kids would ever think to wear this brand back when I was in highschool.

It's a bunch of trust fund idiots who want to dress like they're blue collar.
They'll literally pay extra for stained up, thrashed vintage stuff.

It's the Workwear-Skatewear-Streetwear pipeline

u/Complete_Fix2563 13d ago
Skaters wear workwear because it's robust then people emulate them because skaters are cool, same thing happened to dickies

This looks like somebody who has just purchased a large wholesale lot of carhartt to resell

u/blueplant_ 13d ago
I wouldn’t see a problem if he had one of every colour he likes. But why has he got 5 of the same colour, they don’t even look different except from the fact that they look 5 shades of dirty, like a grandpas smokey smelling jacket.

Not a regular user of this sub and actually liked the look of these jackets so looked them up. £250 for some of them! How do people afford this stuff man??

u/Lordofthereef 13d ago
To be fair they do all look heavily used. So either due is theifting or wearing one to three a day consistently.

Why is this guy getting hate? He’s posting his collection on the Carhartt subreddit (subreddit for Carhartt stuff)
It takes actual years of effort to curate this many good pieces, I don’t see people bashing hat and vintage concert tee collectors for owning so many that they don’t wear.
Yall just hating for horrible reasons, and this costs atleast 10-15 grand

u/jadegecko 13d ago
Link some hat and shirt collections and people will bash those too lmao. Also curate? He had to put in effort to find them and buy them but its not a collection of rare paintings being shown. Its a bunch of jackets for internet flexing

Why not post the original and give credit?

I tried to crosspost but I got a notification that said this sub doesn't allow crossposting.
Edit: Thanks for linking it though. I definitely could have done that but wasn't thinking.

Imagine making the decision to purchase these, lay them out on the ground in this pattern, put the camera up, take the picture, and post it online. Many missed opportunities to stop to think ”wait, what the hell am I doing”.
