Carhartt clothing first introduced work clothes in the year 1889. Their customers included workers from the railways and mines besides timber men and laborers from other industries. Today, Carhartt not only sells work wear and safety clothes but has expanded to comfortable street wear as well. Although they first started off making clothing exclusively for workers wherein you could buy a pair of work jeans for about $30, Carhartt street clothes are comparatively a little more expensive. A pair of comfy jeans would cost you somewhere in the range of $70 whereas the ever popular Carhartt jackets sell for something like a $100.



The work wear line of Carhartt clothing is supposed to be rugged and hence is often stiff and not so comfortable but the Carhartt street wear line is completely the opposite. Although they are also long lasting and take rough wear, they are soft and very comfortable and just waiting to be worn. The only negative point is that they are sized large so you may want to buy a smaller size even if it is one of the Carhartt jackets that you might be interested in buying.

Carhartt clothing is made from quality material and they last long and can take daily, rough use. Their street wear may not be as durable and hard-wearing as their work wear but then it is definitely better than most brands available in the market today. On the whole, the quality is just great. So if you have been contemplating on whether you should buy one of the Carhartt jackets you can make up your mind now.
