Reply to comment by duchessofdaftness in Seeking recommendations on solid men's winter jackets by kingofallnorway

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.
