Carhartt vs Dickies Work Jackets
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лют 2020
- Workwear. The stuff you see on the tired guy with mud on his boots at the gas station, the stuff that is designed to protect its wearer first and foremost. Two giants in this space are Carhartt and Dickies. People swear by each and typically stay pretty loyal to their brand of choice. Dickies people say that Carhartt is overpriced and they can get the same quality without the expensive name for less money. Carhartt people are even more loyal and tend to dress from head to toe in the brand, valuing the long history and solid track record.
So when looking at work jackets it's easy to see the value in Dickies. For what looks like a very similar jacket, the price is about $35 less - no small amount especially for an apprentice or someone early in their career. Have a look at the Carhartt Active Jac versus the Dickies Rigid Duck Hooded Jacket: they look pretty damn similar. Both are 100% duck canvas work jackets with hoods and rib knit hems. They look like the jackets you'll find on the backs of working people in colder climates. So which is the jacket for you?

Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better. - Навчання та стиль

i dont even have a job but i find this incredibly interesting.
Same
Then how do Y'all make money???
Yall some broke mf lol
@@migueldelafuente5775 they probably still live at home with mommy and daddy
@@HollywoodColt i mean no duh they still live with their mom and dads. You fr think an underaged kid going to be living on his own.
Here in New York Carhartt is on everybody, construction workers and fashionable kids alike, it's a ridiculously liked brand and I'm definitely with the hype.
yeah, but the WIP collection is so expensive.
Its high quality products from what I've read which is what you should look for. Im a Dickies guy tho
Carhartt shouldn't have went the fashion route. IMO
Rj Lewis money talks
I just bought one. Classic NY wear.
Dear carharrt, not everyone who wears an xl jacket, has a 48 inch waist, and toothpicks for arms.
You must be from outside New York
Lots of brands have a wacky notion of what an ideal fit is. Carhartt thinks you either have a gigantic gut or are wearing a dozen insulating layers underneath your jacket.
You might also add plans on putting a backpack under the coat too much extra fabric on the mid back.
The pant legs on carharrt are lot wider than other pants. It makes them look funny when you are wearing them.
Woah hello fellow brethren
Use to be a Dickies dude until I tried Carhartt. The little details matter! Carhartt is really worth the extra money in the long run. Plus they are friendly to us tall fat dudes. Great video boss!
The reality is that Dickies is always on sale somewhere and Carhartt rarely is. When money is tight, what are you going to do spend $40 for a jacket or $100?
Dickies is always better
Northwest Gardener - yes they are. Sizes actually fit. Carhartt has off sizing the XL isn’t like any other XL.
Not sure if you've heard of Sierra Trading Post, but you can find Carhartt cheaper there than anywhere, Dickies too. I literally just bought 2 pair of Dickies coveralls the other day for $35, and the actual price is over $90. Just go to Sierra dot com. Dickies is a lot cheaper on Sierra.
@@northwestgardener5076 Yup I've had a pair of pants since 2014 still good. I've seen a pair of carhart on pants rip on day one .
I’m construction worker for 20 years and i had have both and for me carhartt is the best, those little details make a huge different, so carhartt is the one for me
I've worn Dickies work pants for the past 13 years working as a machinist. My last pair that I purchased I noticed that they changed their fabric of ALL their pants and not for the better. It feels a lot thinner to the point where they almost fell like dress pants. I might be switching to a different brand soon.
I’ve always loved carhartt because of my dad. Used to buy their stuff when I was younger and worker as a commercial building mover.
Now that I’m blue collar, I still go back to them because workwear has exploded in streetwear recently. Kinda cool to see them cater to other markets like their WIP lines.
Dear Carhartt,
There is such thing as humans that are tall with a medium build. Please start making "medium tall" vests for these humans. Thank you.
I'm short and fat so I struggle with sleeve length more than you lol
Carhartt have tall options in sizing
Also Carhartt's clothes never fit short people - 5'7 here and it's pretty sparse
They don't offer much for a medium tall. Most of their clothing line starts at large tall. I fall in the same category, medium size but after a few washings, my shirts are belly shirts and large is awkwardly big to wear.
Idk about vests but they do have jackets in medium tall
The attention to detail/features or hidden features in the these videos is killer these are the best comparisons/reviews.
I really dig how much effort you put into your videos man and I love work wear so Thats a follow for damn sure
Thanks a lot man! I appreciate that!
Now this is what a review/comparison video should be like. Others please take note. Carl you are the Carhartt of reviewers...all the little things add up.
This review so damn good. I have always been a fan of Carh.but never noticed all the features.
Thanks. You just made me drive out to the Carhartt store in Huntington Station NY and drop $150 on a sweet jacket. Ask for Dan, he's cool as a fan.
Sounds like a kickass trip man!
@@CarlMurawski i still haven't even worn it yet lol
@@SeymourKitty
I know that all too well. I buy carhartt and dickies stuff intended to wear to work but its always too nice to get dirty 😂
That is some great information, I have a little of both brands but this is really helpful in looking at the fine points for something often worn.
This was a very well done video. You focused on the product and gave us excellent visual clarity in your analysis. This type of presentation is so useful!
Please, more like this.
Big thumbs up! 👍
I’ve got a 15 year old Dickies brown duck jacket I just can’t kill but have got quite a few Carharrt items, including rip-stop pants. They’re both great brands. Went in between both of them and bought a Gibson canvas jacket that’s unbelievably warm.
Good catch on the knitted cuffs - they do wear but then again my Dickies jacket has gotten a bit worn down all over from constant use. Their canvas carpenter pants are good value too.
Great video!
I don’t know if you have an other Dickies items but I absolutely love the comparisons. Begin able to see all the extra tiny details is the thing I love about Carhartt
In Cheyenne Wyoming here. Was 100% Carhartt, then discovered Duluth. Quality is no comparison
Duluth all the way
i find duluth to be trash. i bought some of their wicking layers and they fell apart so fast.
@@DocFr33ze lol what ever
I'm a big fan of Duluth. But my fav is prob Filson or Ben Davis depending on price point.
@@Kaybee3104 never heard of them. Need to look them up
@@Jammerjim You should. My Filson CCF jacket is my favorite jacket in my collection. It's spendy tho. Ben Davis is basically another dickies.
I wear both brands but most recently switched exclusively to carhartt. I feel like I get more use long term with carhartts. The dickies breakdown to quick for me.
Same here. My carhartt jacket is my workhorse yearly jacket during cold winter months. I’ll get dickies jackets & will replace them every 2 or 3 years.
I remember when Snoop Dogg first started rapping in the early 90s late 80s early 90s he had a Carhartt jacket on and I had to get one
if you bought a carhartt because an idiot rapper wore one, neither one of you should wear carhartt. they're WORK CLOTHES!
@@tylerjames6842 i'll make any bet that the rapper you just called an idiot has a lot more money than you and has probably never had to work as hard as you a day in his life.
@@WhoIsDreko 🤣👏👏 thank you!!
Tyler Baudendistel who hurt you?
@@tylerjames6842 so what, if that's what they want to wear they can wear it
I love the over cuffs on my Carhartt hiviz coat. It makes a good wind seal when your wearing gloves.
I love the cuffs on my carhartt because they never get in the way while still keeping my jacket sleeves long for warmth.
Never scrimped on my tools or work clothes, even if I ate pbj for a few days.....Carhartt and Milwaukee. Little more for both, but still using some of each 35 years after purchase
Glad to see the updates on the Carhartt. I think this is the jacket I had while working on the Rail Road. I worked out of Toronto where it is cold and very damp. The coat was warm. The exposed cuffs did wear badly around the wrists and a bit around the waist. The thing I hated was the waist cuff. Any big movements, like climbing ladders on rail cars had it climb up your torso, leaving you exposed. I currently have a Carhartt Full Swing Relaxed Fit Insulated Coat. I love it. Unfortunately, the YKK zipper has a crooked tooth at the very bottom and it gives me problems. Have to see about a replacement zipper. BTW, square zipper on this one.
In 20+ years in the construction trades... I have owned 2 Carhartt work jackets and 2 pairs of bibs. I still own both jackets (one of which I bought as a 3rd yr apprentice 19 years ago, the other is over 10 years old) and a pair of bibs (19 years old). The only reason I bought a 2nd pair of bibs is because I caught the leg on fire cutting steel pipe as an idiot apprentice. I owned 1 Dickies coat that lasted less than 2 years. Carhartt Wins, Hands Down!!!
They last when your the guy who only brings the coffee for the men!
Hey, I just wanted to say this video was very well thought out. I have been in the refrigation traid 20+ years. I can definitely say when you are in a sub-zero deep freezer for fast food and grocery cold storage, carhartt overalls and jackets are amazing.
Dickies hands down for the warehouse work I do now,
Carhartt for the outdoor farm work I did growing up when I need the insulation to pull thru
got this jacket in the dark brown color. it really is amazing how many features this has for how simple this jacket really is j130 ftw!
I've had my Carhartt for probably 6 years and it was finally time to upgrade. I actually found a Dickies work jacket that I really liked, and it was half the cost! We'll see if it lasts like my other one but it's pretty damn comfortable.
13 years ago I got the Dickie jacket from Walmart when I was 17/18. It was super cheap and just needed a winter jacket for work as a general labour. I've since retired the jacket to an outdoor home work jacket since I have to wear FR. Ive had the jacket for for almost 13 years and it is finally starting to wear out. Their are a few small small holes in the shoulder and the cuffs are starting to fray. Back then the quality was much higher and had a pen pocket and better stitching etc. When i rebuy a new work jacket I'll be getting a Carhartt.
Dickies jackets are sold in walmart. Which means your lucky to get 1-2yrs out of them depending on your line of work. I've worn carhartt for 25yrs & I'm only on my 3rd jacket. Outdoor construction & driving a truck. Carhartt 100%
Walmart's Dickies jacket's are purchase by bulk .... Dickies Originally brand only by Walmart ... price point $$ you know the story of economic's ... quality's it's ok too .... But if you ever have a chance to visit any of the Dickies Corporate Stores or web side ... you will absolutely be convinced how better they are ... Dickies are own know by Carhartt Corp. Both are great !!!
Walmart doesn't sell authentic dickies (aside from dickies 874 pant) They sell a brand called "genuine dickies" and the products look very similar but the quality isn't the same.
Wow! Really enjoyed this detailed video.
great video Carl.. I find it funny that the new Hipster "artist" look is : Carhartt beanie, vintage 90s tee and baggy Carhartt pants rolled up with Vans.. One thing for sure ,Carhartt has definitely diversified their consumer base.
not a hipster thing. I bought trendy carhartt items in a more fashionable store in the late 90's. I was a teen into drum & bass going to raves wearing those.. now I work using the same type of clothes...It's just that now they have the WIP line which so fucking expensive and they sell at streetwear stores. Same thing with Dickies. All the indy kids as well as hiphop heads used to wear those in the 90's. Hipsters never discovered shit.
also popular with skaters
Hello from Alaska, I use Dickies work slacks, Woolrich shirt over my long johns. Soft socks, insulated Carhart overalls and coat. Fur hat, arctic expo mittens, and insulated boots. Snow plowing, and many other outside duties here. Works well enough for comfort and protection.
Diesel mechanic here. I’m Carhartt all the way. I do have one dickies Eisenhower jacket I wear occasionally, but not for work. My hooded Carhartt and my Carhartt Detroit are my go to coats. Great vid!
Much appreciated man! In my mechanic days we had those terrible Red Kap uniforms which would light on fire whenever we welded. Plus their jackets were just lightly quilted polyester and weren't good below 40 degrees, which made me get my first Carhartt jacket. Dickies is great and if you work in an especially dirty industry they might be a better buy, but if you keep your clothing for a few years I think Carhartt is better overall.
The j130 is one of my favorite carhartt coat's. The new additions to this coat have made me were this on and off the job site . I also own the full swing Armstrong active coat and there are nice touches to that coat but i don't think it is warmer than J130 especially for the cost difference. I would love to see the full swing shoulders on the J130 with that and the elbow room it would be absolutely a winner but still a great coat with new updates. Truly not a dickies fan and I'm not saying there clothing is bad but there is always that little step above that makes carhartt the better option. Great video and keep them coming.
Hello Carl, I would like to get more information on trade school, your video from the past really intrigued me.
The Carhartt Full Swing active armstrong active jacket is the best jacket I've had yet.
I use carhartt during cold months & dickies during fall. Both are great jackets & brands
I look forward to winter so i can wear my carhartt, favorite jacket. The only jacket I think comes close is Berne, I like there's as well. I got one off the tool truck as promo and wore it as a work jacket and the only thing that killed was a broke zipper
Carhartt 24/7 for any occasion 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 NYC
That was a great comparison, thank you!
Carharrt all the way. The double knee pants wore out above the double knee area and I told them they should extend it up to the coin pocket. They didn't listen. I do love the jackets, coats, blue jeans and especially the work shorts in summer. All in all a good product!
Just discovered this channel today and I think I have a new favorite YT channel. All videos are about the stuff that I like. Guy shit. Carhartt is the 🐐 BTW.
Working outside and by the sea,I really needed a warm workwear jacket.First i bought Dickies Portland which is poly flannel exterior and poly padded quilt inside for 35 usd.I was amazed how warm this thing was in temperatures between 40 and 50F.But I wanted an upgrade since it started showing some tear and wear so i ended up buying Carhartt Traditional Sandstone jacket with arctic quilt lining for 140 usd.Fit was perfect so is the looks.But..it's not as warm as the flannel dickies one which really disappointed me.I probably blame the sandstone duck cotton exterior which even though is much more tough against abrasion,doesn't seem to provide enough insulation against constant blowing cold sea breeze.I know that they 're not comparable not even close.Carhartt is a proper-proper jacket with excellent details and stitching and Portland Dickies is a flannel shirt-jacket.But because of the "field testing"results i ended up wearing the carhartt on all other occasions but not at work.. Your videos are great and a very useful guide for all who work or do stuff outdoors
Great video with a lot of great details of each. I love my Carhartt.
Great job on this.
I can definitely see a difference in the jackets. And around here Carhartt is what most guys wear. I'm a fan of the Dickies cotton duck carpenter pants over the similar Carhartt. Nothing wrong with the Carhartt's just don't fit me as well. There is a difference between the black tag Dickies made in Mexico or Honduras vs the red tag ones at Walmart. Definitely better off going to the local farm store and getting the black tag model for a couple dollars more.
ive mostly always used dickies uniforms and have always loved the Eisenhower jacket, last yr i bought a dickies rigid duck blanket lined jacket that looks very similar to my older Detroit jacket, paid under $40 for it and honestly if it wasn't for the logo tags, i wouldn't be able to tell them apart even the blanket lining has the same feel and look, so that was a surprise to me. But i do love my carhartt active jackets, got one in thermal, one in quilted nylon and one in sherpa lining, also have my chore coat which looks great on the weekends, my double front work pants are still solid as hell too. i grew up with dickies and still every day use it as part of my uniform, but it doesn't compare to the quality of them U.S made carhartts!
My daddy was a coal miner, hardest working s.o.b. I’ve ever seen in my life and he was a Dickies guy so when I started working in my current factory job that’s what I chose but I won’t lie you make carhartt sound pretty nice I’m gonna try one out
hows the Carhartt
The Carhartt I bought in 2010 is not the same as the Carhartt I bought in 2016
Preach!
Cheaper materials due to cost.
Their distributors have cheapen the material carhartt receives.
Cost and profit.
I started wearing carhartt work wear in the early 80's and the quality has really gone down and the prices have gone up! Sam Adler
I bought a pair of dickies carpenter pants about 2 years ago. I had them for about 4 months until I went camping and the zipper broke immediately when I started doing heavy work. I then bought a pair of carhartt carpenter pants, and after almost 2 years they have never let me down. I think dickies is good, but carhartt really cares about their products
I still have my Dickies from 2006 man, they are still good😂
I use to be a lineman, love these jacks only mine had to be FR I still buy them even though I don’t work anymore.
Dickies work pants and Carhartt work jacket for me.
I wear dickies trousers and carhartt tops. Both are great quality. I think these videos really help people decide which will suit them better for there use. I use them as everyday use as they are affordable and long lasting. Great for everyday use and work purposes.
Hi Carl. Learning a lot from your videos about real work clothes. Speaking of which, I see you like the Carhartt Cryder. Sounds good, but I'm wondering how snag and tear resistant it is? I work pretty much every day (including MN winters) in the woods clearing buckthorn trees. Pretty gnarly tree. I'm inclined to go with the Active Jacket. However, also like having a little length to jacket to provide more protection to midsection when reaching/bending. Your thoughts most appreciated.
over the years ( i'm 69) I've had quite a few
carhartt jackets and bibs two of my daily jackets are close to 20 years old, not the best looking but still usable no other brand for me
Great video! Thank you.
My great-grandfather works for Detroit Edison for 45 years and wore nothing but Dickies classic work pants for probably close to 80 years before he died he would even wear them to church on Sundays
Great job of pointing out the differences.
Love Carhartt rain defender products hoodies, and shoes
I've had a Dickies coat years ago now and I didn't like it since the day I got it. I went from a old carhartt to said dickies and just never was impressed. I gave it to my brother inlaw and I got myself a new carhartt and my appreciation of carhartt has grown alot. Every year when it gets colder out you will find nothing but carhartt because they are built to last longer.
I have been using a walls work wear zero jacket for last few years and it held up great! time for a new one. Wondering if any of those jackets are insulated?
I'll keep buying carhartt and let the other guys save a few bucks. Great review.
very helpful !! great points
I wear both and have for years. The Dickies insulated vest is more functional (zippered breast pocket) and true to size. I have worn mine for 10 years and it’s begun to get pretty ratty. I tried on a Carhartt insulated vest in the same size as my chore coat (XL) the vest was VERY SMALL, more like a medium. Carhartt is better quality for the most part but that is offset by their BIZARRE SIZING. Carl you should do a video of Carhartt shirts, jackets, vests to compare just how much sizes can vary. Dickies sizing is more consistent but quality is slightly lower.
I like the Dickie's I get at Walmart and then I get the George brand as well . Well priced . The George Dickie style is the best for the dollar .
Yes price is good and they fit better.
What do you think of Dri Duck jackets? Have you ever tried them? I am looking at their Maverick or Force Bomber jacket. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
I wish Carhartt had implemented things like the internal drawstring, storm flap, and lined pockets on their J140. I often find myself wanting them😂
Labour costs come into it as well. I have both Carhartt and Dickies canvas coats and jackets. Instead of studs on the waist band and cuffs, the Dickies have the big heavy duty buttons( like on jean waistband) These are just the same style.
Which would you recommend for someone who needs a durable coat for cutting firewood in the winter. Temps can drop to zero, so I'd prefer something with a hood.
I like Carhartt but I've always worn a regular non hooded Dickies work jacket and will continue. The sleves being slightly shorter make it easier to work on equipment/vehicles without the cuffs getting filthy.
Carhartt has off sizing. Can’t ever find any to fit right.
Alpha Industries M 65 jacket ,also good workjacket !!
Duluth fleece bonded shirt jac is the best coat I’ve ever owned but they discontinued it, basically wind proof, super hard wearing, easy to clean outer
I have a cathart western style over shirt jacket , made of black and beige duck cotton that I used working on an old volunteer job at a warehouse and it hasn't even got a hole in it yet.
I'm late to the dance here but, I'm partial to the Carhartt brand of outer wear items. I like the triple stitching & the brown duc material holds up to conditions I'm around.
I'm a white collar worker but I still like tough, quality clothing. Carhartt is definitely worth the extra money.
I have Dickies shirts and Carhartt shirts. My dickies shirts faded quickly, after 4 washes. Carhartt shirts didn't fade, half a year with them and they look like new.
I use them for work and fashion.
I pair them with Levi's 501 Jean's and some thorogood moc toes and bam!
Carhartt is the brand especially for those harsh outside working conditions. The coveralls, insulated bibs, and Yukon jackets keep you toasty. Had a dickies coverall the zipper broke useless in winter
Had a pack of Dickies crew work socks in my hand today. Saw that they were made in China and put them back.
I have socks from Thorlos and Darn Tough that are American made. They are great socks but you're definitely going to pay.
My "go to" work jacket is the Carhartt, blanket lined, "Detroit" model.
For pants it's Ben Davis all the way.
I haven't worn Ben Davis since 1995 lol
DUDE I am so glad you mentioned at the beginning that its not Americana crap Workwear! Thats most of the videos on YT when looking for workwear. Its all bout fashion and crap. I just want real reviews about crap Im going to need to help perform better
Exactly!!
Good video, I usually stick with Dickies, but this Carhartt Jacket is definitely more premium
My beef with Carhartt is that my Carhartt baseball cap’s Velcro strap sticks to their hood’s insulated liner when I get into my truck and try to lower the hood. A real PITA .
I love it when you grease it hard Carl
The only people I knew that wore Dickies were nurses ,janitors that work in hospitals and boiler room engineers...
Hahaha I know exactly what you're talking about: the brown pants and work shirt combo.
I have slowly but successfully converted my entire wardrobe to Duluth Trading Co. I'm a 5'11 150lb. build so I comfortably wear a medium but the lengths are on the short side so I used to buy large which I would swim in. Duluth offers medium tall in almost everything they offer which is important to me. That being said, I purchased the DTC Superior Fire Hose Hooded Jacket last year and It is worth every penny paid ($179.99). I'm a fabrication painter and wear quite a bit of equipment for 12-16 hours so comfort is a priority. Anyone who has worn the Duluthflex fire hose canvas pants knows how comfortable and tough they are. The jacket is no different.
I've had few jackets from both brands. I typically like Carhartt more once they're broken in, but every once in a while I see the Dickies Hooded Quilted Jacket for $40-50 and pick one up. They're also great and I don't mind ruining them as much as a $120 Carhartt.
Solid video! Thank you. =)
I've have my dickies jacket for 33 years still good as new
You’re forgetting the other top dog wrangler they make some awesome stuff for flame retardant for the electrical guys
Great point! I mostly see Tindale FR out here.
I have a J-131 jacket and the Rain Defender zip up hooded sweat shirt. My job requires me to wear a heavy coverall as a uniform. But I wear the ripstop cargo pants during cool weather. And various brand cotton shorts during warm weather. I wear various brands of cotton shirts. I am looking for basic arc flash protection. While flipping various voltage breakers.
For personal use, I plan buy the cordura winter jacket. And a storm defender wind breaker rain jacket.
I like em both. Have both
I wear both for work !! I use dickies for their shorts and pants , and Carhattt for jackets , hoodies , hats , and shirts . like I said that's a great combination for me as I do work in my gear .
Most definitely, and there's something kinda weird about wearing the same brand head to toe. I like the Dickies work polos and they've lasted me years.
This is an excellent demonstration of why sometimes expensive is better value , all the tiny bits no one would notice make a massive difference,
Snickers is Europe's biggest workwear brand and its exactly the same , expensive until you try the cheaper stuff and then you notice the care that has gone into the research .
Carhartt for jackets, Dickies for pants.
I got my Carhartt active jac stuck on a nail when I was falling and let me tell you the FABRIC ITSELF ripped before THE SEAM😂 IT WAS HILARIOUS like big ol hole that stopped directly at the seam
I've worn Dickie my whole life, I bought carhartt for the first time just recently. The differences between the two were obvious to me from the start. And I can tell you without hesitation that carhartt is definitely a better product. And well worth the extra money. I'll never go back to Dickie. Dickie used to make a good product, but it seems that over the years the quality has diminished. I guess that's what happens when you start producing your products in China.
Because they make them in china?
Or because the material is different and not as great?
@@mr.cifuentes1779 -Both!! I will pay for something that lasts. I used to work in machine shops. And Dickies could hold up fairly well. Wore short sleeves for safety. A vest in colder weather. Now I have been doing operating/stationary engineer for the past 20 years. And I appreciate being allowed to wear a jacket while working. And the Carhartt is much nicer than the job issued Dickies jackets.
Ye guys need to check out snickers work wear, it's a Scandinavian brand but super popular in mainland europe. All the builders and mechanics wear it in the U.K.
