Thanks Carhartt!

The great folks at Carhartt were gracious enough to send some Carhartt Clothing for my husband to try out. They wanted him to try them out and let them know what he thought. Well he did just that!

The Dungarees:

Here he is wearing a pair of black Ripstop Work Dungarees. They are made out of a durable,US military-grade ripstop fabric with interlocking nylon threads that resist tearing.

They are lightweight, 6.5 ounces, 50% cotton/50% nylon blend breathes easily, dries quickly and feels as comfortable as cotton.

Deep, reinforced front and back pockets, multiple tool and utility pockets: garmet is engineered for ease of motion.

These aren't something that Mike would wear to work, because he welds and they would probably catch on fire, however he looked so nice that I took him out to dinner that night, we went to the La Cabana Restaurant in San Antonio. We go there a lot and so do a lot of people that we know. He ran into his cousin and she complimented Mike on how nice he looked and he told them all about how Carhartt was nice enough to send the clothes for him to try and even did a little modeling pose and everybody got a pretty good laugh out of that! He told several other people that night about the clothes and some of the people were surprised that Carhartt sold such nice looking clothes because like us they were only aware of the rugged outerwear.

The Shirt:

The shirt is the "Work-Dry" with moisture management and odor control. Fabric is made of 60% cotton/40% polyester blend to pull sweat away from the body and up to the surface for quick evaporation. Fabric doesn't cling like some wicking shirts.

Fabric also fights odors!

Mike in His Favorite Carhartt Jacket!

Here is Mike, my husband of 22 years in his favorite Carhartt Jacket! Mike is an Iron Worker/ Welder and he needs rugged clothes that are going to withstand all he can dish out. Carhartt has just those kinds of clothes. In the winter he can put on his Carhartt Insulated Coveralls and this Jacket and do anything he has to do and stay warm and comfortable doing it. He can put on his 70lb work belt and get up on the iron and move around and do it without his clothes restricting his movement.

When he is welding the clothes stand up to the sparks flying, he gets burn holes but is able to get the fire out quickly and the clothes for the most part can be worn again. That is very important in his line of work because not only is it expensive to replace the clothes it is important that a spark doesn't ignite the clothing and catch him on fire, that could really ruin a persons day!

You can't beat Carhartt for durability and yet they still manage to look nice!
