Previous Messageman that thing is comfortable and versatile. Previous Message...my "daily vest" is a black Carhartt vest I got from my mom for Christmas about 15 years ago. I bet it'll last another 10-15 years. I just think I have a somewhat unique perspective as I see, daily, people wearing Carhartt for actual work...and then like the marketing folks in our office in perfectly beautiful and stiff as a board jackets and beanies. Previous MessageI bet you Carhart gets as much sales from hipsters as a lifestyle brand than they do from dudes doing "Carhart stuff". My favorite pair of shoes is are red wings boots. I wear them to concerts, not to do red wing stuff. Previous Message...and I don't live in the sticks. Maybe I just don't recognize it. But I see mostly jeans or logo tshirts with a hoodie or vest of some sort. I'd bet I see a lot more Carhartt than Lululemon...which is another point of contention. If you have stiff Carhartt gear, you don't do Carhartt stuff. Previous Messageyou either live in the sticks or you're not paying attention. Coincidentally, lulu does well in markets like Pittsburgh and Detroit because it's a Canadian brand and has a high correlation of men's sales in places where hockey is popular. Previous MessagePrevious Message...but I feel like all tshirts that come from an active apparel brand have a strange, activewear, sheen or look to them. Not a basic cotton t...which is probably why they're 58 dollars to start with. I don't prefer the blended fabric look. Previous Messagemy only beef with Old Navy (I used to work there and still buy a lot of clothes from there) is that the collar is shot like the third time you wear the shirt. Previous MessagePrevious Messagejust acknowledging that you get what you pay for. Old Navy shirts are $8 for a reason. Previous MessagePrevious Messagethan a cheaper one? Buy a lulumon t shirt and an Old Navy tshirt and let me know after two years which one looks better. Previous Messageso the replacement cost is fine. Previous Message |
