    From what I understand they designate some of their stuff to be nice work wear they still make for folks who need it, and some they designate as more fashion.

    That’s how they balance their huge increase in demand from what I understand, rather than just selling nothing but crap, or ignoring that lots of people want their clothes for the branding alone

      Ah. So I have to hope I’m getting the good product and not the bad product while paying the same inflated price!

      Fun. I love RNG in my clothes

        It’s not RNG, the fashion forward items are labeled Carhartt WIP.

        Thats fair. The world we live in is pretty stupid. There might be some way to check which is which, but I don’t remember

          Generally where you buy it.

          A place where they don’t cater to tradespeople? Fashion.

          A store with several other brands of work clothes? Thats the stuff that lasts.

          This just based off of my experience as a Millwright.
