Carhartt Men's Jacket



Found this jacket online for a better price than in the outlet stores. The carhartt brand is as sturdy as they get. These quilted flannel lined jackets are for rugged men's outdoor workwear. They really hold up to the harshest conditions you can dish out.

The body and hood are lined in quilted flannel, and the sleeves are lined in quilted nylon. For comfort and convenience, there are two inside pockets as well as two deep hand-warmer pockets.For now I'll wear it when we go out as long as casual is okay.

Still have my first carhartt jacket (green), the denim is a bit wore out at the end of the sleeves but it still keeps me warm. Carhartt makes great workwear, not bad for 14 Winters of wear. My wife doesn't like it when I wear the old jacket to work because, she says I look like a homeless person.

Honestly, as long as it is still comfortable a keeps me warm, I don't care how it looks. Construction work is not about fashion. When the zipper stops working, then I'll retire the jacket.

Carhartt Double Front White Carpenter Pants


If you or your better half is a member of  the Carpenter's District Council in St. Louis and Southern Illinois, you have probably noticed that it is hard to find carhartt double front work pants in the stores ( in this area they're referred to as carpenter whites), the ones we wear to work. This is because most stores are not stocking the whites anymore, why? Because, St. Louis and Southern Illinois are the only areas here in the U.S.A. where white pants are required attire for union carpenters.

If you're looking to buy white carhartt work pants, you'll have to special order them from your local dealer but you can click on the following link and buy Carhartt carpenter whites "now", from where you are sitting, if you'd like. Evidently, carhartt doesn't sell enough of the double front drill pants, so they cut down on distribution.

The white carhartt double front drill work pants, which I've worn to work for 30 years are readily available at Amazon. They're the same carhartt pants we used to find at Dicky Bub's. Nu-Way Construction Supply and Concrete Form Supply still stock carpenter whites but I'm not sure of their available sizes.

Over the years, people have given me strange looks (especially home owners and office personal) when I use my carpenter whites as a scratch pad and write stuff with my pencil on them, measurements, phone #'s, etc... But whatever it is that I write on them is easily read, goes with me where ever I go (verses a scrap block of wood) and pencil lead comes out in the wash. Makes perfect sense to me.

These are the only work pants that I have been able to find in which last six months or more, other whites that I've tried wear out at the knees in just a couple of weeks. Like all union carpenters and painters in the St. Louis area, we are required to wear whites on the job. It's the white pants that identify us as carpenters on job sites, the trade that uses hammers. The other guys use a paint brush. 

Carhartt double front drill pants are comfortable and rugged work pants from day one and if you have worn them, I'm sure that you'll agree.


You don't see very many carpenters wearing carhartt bib overalls (double knee) these days. Bib overalls however, really come in handy when doing trim work, because when working inside on trim or finish carpentry. Wearing a bulky tool belt inside is risky, there is a higher risk of a hammer or some other tool hanging from the pouches scratching a kitchen cabinet or scraping walls.
