    I brought a Carhartt insulated construction jacket in the late 90's, it lasted me ten years. I was happy with it. The around 2010 I brought a second on it lasted 2 years before it started to fall apart. Someone got greedy and there quality went into the toilet. Never again.

    Having attended a boarding school I fell in love with a daily 'uniform'. At age 74 I own seven dresses all the same maker, style, colour and it is so nice to get up and not fret about what to wear. I look neat, clean and sane (laughing).And it saves me money in the long run since I am not buying clothing that won't be worn or will end up being donated for lack of use.

    I have Patagonia shorts (stand up shorts) that I've been wearing forever, some pairs are over 10-15. years old wearing them regularly. I'm hard on stuff, I work outside as a guide. They stand behind their products and actively encourage repair rather than replacement- that's something I can get behind. My ski patrol uniforms have all been Patagonia and last many seasons, and they repair them in the off season for us. They definitely stand out in the world of disposable clothing.

The inseam is higher and are weird at first which isn't the same as the overall inseam. The pants don't have any side pockets on the leg and I like to carry cobras and a multi bit in the other side. The overalls only have them on one side. I wish they had two like Carhartt overalls. I changed to a utility belt like batman when I wear them. The pockets are a different feel. I like the Carhartt style better. The overalls suspender elastic isn't as supporting as the Carhartt and needs to be adjusted tighter throughout the day. The suspender clips broke on me and I had to buy a replacement clip at Fabricland. Carhartt suspenders and clip system are superior.
      The Pros- They are nice and lightweight and breath better. The crotch, pockets, and hemp material is superior to the duck. The overalls would still be going but I need to have the crotch repaired from a nail crawling in an attic. Not much you can do about that. They fit true to size for me. I order the overalls a size bigger like Carhartts because I like them a bit looser. I liked the top bib pocket on the overalls. it has a nice zipper pocket and the front pocket fit my iphone pro max with the otterbox defender. It has a button that divides the pocket you can open if you have a bigger phone.
      I will definitely purchase the overalls again for work and pants for wearing at home. I will try the winter overalls for the homestead this winter.

It tells me whether, live maps, GPS, messages and notifications from my phone which I can reply on the watch, select music on the watch, compass, altimeter, fitness tracking and too much else to list.

    For the last seven or eight years I've been wearing the Duluth Trading Company's Fire Hose work pants. After becoming accustomed to having twelve pockets, I found myself in a quandary one evening. I'd recently met and began dating a young lady who I was head over heels for. She was an 11, perfect in every way. We were "going out" that evening and after having "discussed" my usual attire and my lack of style or fashion sense, she insisted that I "dress up" and kindly helped me pick an alternative outfit by leaving it laying on the bed. Not wanting to get into another "discussion" with her, I decided not to point out to her that it was FRIDAY and what she'd picked out was usually reserved for Sunday, and so I did what all men do when smitten - whatever she says. After showering, I put on my Sunday britches, followed by my belt (having slid my multi-tool on it), and then commenced to emptying the pockets of my Duluth's, transferring everything over to my britches and putting it all in their proper pockets. That's when I came to a hard realization...though I'd thought she was perfect, she was eight pockets shy of being my girlfriend.

    Oh, I got a Patagonia barn coat in their hemp, and I couldn't believe how soft the material is (and by their claim it's more abrasion resistant than cotton canvas)! The coat also has so many pockets, which when doing stuff like hoof trimmings, or vaccinations I have somewhere for everything. I don't even need my bucket. They aren't joking though when they say the coats run large, lol. The back pocket always amazes me, because I keep a pair of leather glove in it, and when sitting down I don't feel them. I have genuinely forgotten they were there a couple times!
    Also by chance scored several Patagonia flannel shirts from Goodwill, brand new (or very close to new) for $14/ea, and they're some of the softest shirts I have that are also a light flannel.

    Unfortunately clothing companies are going the way of car companies adding in planned obsolescence so that you are required to buy more after the old product gets messed up. They don't think of it as "lets make a product that lasts years and years of daily use" they think "this product will get ruined after X amount of time so we can sell the consumer the a replacement which means more money".

I wish that I could wear heavy pants, but the Summers where I live are brutal and humid, so I opt for 5.11 pants that are a synthetic blend. Totally agree on Carhartt, the fit and quality is awful. Duluth Trading is even worse; their shirts and pants fit like a bedsheet and they're rags after a few seasons. I always look forward to Fall and Winter when I can wear my Pendleton Board and Lodge shirts. I would love to see you do a video dedicated to wool products like Pendleton, Filson, and Woolrich.

This is what one of his top advisor, Ehrlichman has to say about it. “You want to know what this was really all about,” Ehrlichman, who died in 1999, said, referring to Nixon’s declaration of war on drugs. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying. We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.” There is debate on whether Ehrlichman statement over simplified the issue. That statement has been public for a while and there hasn't been much to refute that stance.

      Don’t buy Patagonia. They are part of the woke community. A lot of their profits go towards the woke left agenda.

    I'm retired Army Aviation, but I won't spend the money for Nomex clothes, so I have found Wrangler rip-stop cargo shorts and pants work great for me. I wear them for nearly everything when I'm not in my pajamas. 😁🤣

    Thanks Cody. Because of you I have the nicest most comfortable wardrobe and footwear. Not Nick's boots cause it's overkill and pricey for my type of works and needs. But, some very good quality American made boots.
    Just scored 6 pairs of 2nd hand hemp pants including new double knee iron forge Patagonia jeans and overalls.

    You always have to buy ahead now with our fashion society. By the time you realize how good a product is they discontinue it. LL Bean used to make great stuff but no longer. I have some work pants nearly 15 years old that still hold up. It was called “Katahdin Iron Works” but no longer. I even called to ask if they could source the fabric or repair mine but they said no more.

      Yep I found found that with boots, so now when I find a model I really like oi talk in my old set for repair and buy 2 new pairs. The last 3 boots I really liked they discontinued after about 5 years. I'll stop buying them when I have 10 pairs in reserve, I figure that will at least cover me for the next 25 years or so lol

      @@tylermallory2504 I was an LL Bean customer for nearly 40 years but no more. Their products' quality has declined and virtually everything they sell is made offshore, with much coming from China. I bought a pair of Roundhouse overalls this spring and I love them. They are well made and should last a long time and they are USA made.

    There's a guy on Etsy that makes those wildland belts. Jet stream Aero Parts. I got one for Christmas and it's been the best belt I've ever owned.

    I've been actively looking for some new work pants to invest in. I'll have to give these a try.
