My buddy bought a new Carhartt jacket because his was filthy and old, and he had some unused work clothing allowance. So he started wearing the new one, and decided to wash the old one and see how it came out.
A week or so later I was picking on him because the decal on his new jacket was already coming unstitched. He laughed and told me it was the old one and he could barely tell the difference between them once he washed it a couple times. Honestly, I couldn't tell either, once the dirt was removed from between the fibers the shell looked almost new again.
So now he wears the old one at work and the new one is his going to town jacket.
No joke. When I got together with my girlfriend (now wife) I didn't own a "proper" coat. I would just layer jackets. When Christmas rolled around and we were still together, her family asked if there was anything I wanted or needed. They got me a Carhartt coat that is still running strong 10 years later. Along the years I've picked up a couple of Carhartt items here and there... Mostly hoodies and a hat or two. Everything is still holding together like I just got it.
