Archival Salute: Carhartt



OK, if you want to really learn the Carhartt ropes you should be over at 10engines right now (above image lifted from there). James has an almost worrisomely complete Optic.

Just got a few lovely deadstock lids, see above, from another Carhartt wunderkind, Jason of Wilderness Workshop. Reminded me to put up a couple of my old favorites.


Bequested double-front work pants, new in the 1980s, handed down from one CnT generation to the next. I got 'em for a few years and added quite a few scars and patches. Above: raising frame on an AT privy in 2006 with friend Ira.

One of my favorites. Centennial edition chore coat, blanket-lined. Thrifted a long time ago, in a thrift store far far away.

The fit got baggy in the mid-1990s and then it all went offshore... such a shame. Britches of choice for the lacrosse and hockey frats back in college, for better or worse. Love that sturdy dry duck.
