My name is Donnie Winston and I'm from Parma, ID.
My husband Donnie drives a semi truck with a flatbed, hauling bins and pallets of onions from storage to production, for a local onion packing company. I buy Carhart as they are the only outer wear that holds up to rubbing across the metal sides of his truck and across wooden bins without getting caught. He throws straps several times per day, so needs to be flexible as well as warm. He is short skinny with long legs (28x36)and a very hard to find size, but Carhart always fit good. Other brands last 6 months if I'm lucky, with help of patches, are bulky or awkward. Carhart has lasted 3 years so far no patches needed. No getting hung up on equipment and don't soak up moisture like other brands. He can do his job quick and get going on the next load. Wish is tennis shoes and socks lasted as long.
It actually isn't that tough, and come to think of it, it is not a job, but a passion. Nevertheless I hope I pass the 'tough job' entry level by having to look after these two boys, have been for the last 6 years and have had my moments, along with having to change many items of clothing. Think Carhartt clothing is brilliant although that being said living in South Africa one is not able to get one's hands on it.
My name is Darren R. Habermehl and I am a Foreman Construction Electrician. My last project was the electrical work associated with the rebuilding of the Marquette Interchange here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was a three year, break-neck pace, extreme working condition project and Carhartt Outdoor Clothing was there the whole time. We worked year round including the two toughest winters we have seen in some years. With wind chills at 20 below zero, frost 30 to 48 inches deep, working in aerial lifts 125 above the ground, and salt from the roadways; work was always interesting. Your Carhartt Arctic Lined Jackets and Bibs kept us warm and working. The clothing is also tough enough to withstand several seasons of use before it needs to be serviced. We have tried other brands and types of clothing but nothing has held up as well as Carhartt. Thank you for making a great product! I love my Carhartt clothing so much that my dress jacket for going out on the town is a Carhartt style# J02 black jacket. Keep it up, and keep on working!
My name is james, and i have a tough job. i work in the steel building industry as a fitter/welder. we are constantly subjected to hot metal, sparks and sharps edge's from steel and welding wire. Not to mention constantly putting tools in our pocket's and clipping our 35' tape measure's on our pockets. i bought a "USED" pair of Carhartt 5 pocket jeans from Goodwill and they outlasted my wal-mart brand jeans 3 to 1. i still use them around the house (had them 4 years) i wore them for 2 years in the weld shop. AND THEY WHERE USED !!!!!! thanks for a great product. 
My name s Mike O'Leary and I work in the concrete industry, I am a field technician in the quality control department of a concrete producer. I am constantly subjecting my Carhartts to mud, grease, concrete, and lots of abrasions, not to mention snow and freezing wind. I am just about to go out and get some pants for the upcoming winter. I like to get the duck cloth carpenter pants, I need the extra pockets for the small selection of tools I carry. For me there is nothing better, cost, function, durability, that pretty much says it all. I purchase all my gear at the Carhartt store in Toomey's Corners, New York. They are the nicest and most professional people around, and they stock that store to the hilt. They are fine representative of your product. I wish you all the best in this tough economic time we are having.
Dear Carhartt,
My tough job is maintaining the 26 parks and 12 factilities in the town of Winnetka, IL. Reguardless of the season, I know I can count on my Carhartt gear to keep me warm, dry, and protected. When a violent summer storm knocked over more than 1,000 trees in town, my Carhartt Double Front Canvas Pants kept my legs safe from the dangers of chainsawing and removing downed trees. In addition, my Carhartt Extreme Weather Parka and Bibs really made the difference while making outdoor ice rinks in subzero tempratures where getting wet from spraying water and hawling wet, snow covered hoses is unavoidable. Thanks for all the great products! Because as long as Carhartt keeps doing a great job, I'll be able to do the same in the field.
I drive a feed truck. I can be delivering feed to farms not unlike the mailman, (snow, sleet, rain) no matter the condition outside, I am there to make sure those animals eat. I always have my carhartt's there with me from rain gear to my lined bibs and active jac. I can't say that I have the toughest job, but with the help from Carhartt, it's a lot warmer.
When it's 10 degrees outside I trust Carhartt to keep me warm, roofing is tough enough as it is, but your clothing keeps me comfortable all day long.-ns.jpg)
I work on a schooner off the coast of Maine. We go out in all kinds of ridiculous weather, we climb the rigging 102' above the water in big seas, we bring in a rust covered anchor every morning by hand and we all wear Carhartt. We also clean the heads three times a day unfortunately.
My job is pretty tough by most standards. I am a Harvesting Forester for Weyerhaeuser Company in eastern North Carolina. I administer contract loggers on company-owned land. This often entails spending hours trudging through some of the thickest, most tick- and briar-infested woods down east to do deck visits, perform equipment inspections, find harvest boundaries and property lines, and detemine what type and how much wood will be harvested from the setting. I have to perform these tasks rain-or-shine, dry or muddy, hot or freezing cold! I have to say, I literally jumped for joy the day I walked into a farm store and saw that Carhartt had finally come out with a women's line. I bought 4 pairs of pants, all different styles, and I absolutely love every pair. They are thick enough to keep the briars from getting through to my skin, they fit great, are comfortable, and are just downright tough. I can't wait to buy the new double-front denim carpenters. 
My job of driving a propane delivery truck demands that I work in all sorts of weather. I can count on Carhartt to keep me on the job no matter what mother nature throws at me. In the winter I wear Carhartt thermo underwear-sockcap-and artic jacket to keep me warm and on the job. In the fall and spring I have a thermo lined jacket that is just perfect that time of year. THANKS CARHARTT for being there. I would'nt consider any other work clothes.
I was curious about your new women's apparel line I have seen advertised. I went to your website and found this link so I thought I'd tell you about what my coworkers and I do.
My "tough" job is a wonderful job. I work at the South Medford Grange Co-Op and I am a outdoor nursery cashier year round. In the cool and cold winter months, I stay most comfortably warm in my Carhart Women's Sandstone Bib Quilt/Lined Overalls!!!! I love the fit of them! These truly helped me through the winter.
Carhartt cover the EXTREMES, from work to play. As a chicken hauler, truck driver, my unlined bibs provide exceptional protection from the dirt and grim of leaning against trailers and loads while securing equipment on flatbed trailers. The double knee protection saves my knees while climbing under feed tanks and securing hatches while on expanded metal grating. While doing live haul of chickens, the Extremes provide extreme protection not only from the elements of the weather, but also the splashes and spray of this fowl job. If I am not in my work bibs I am usually found in Carhartt jeans and shirts or being like the kid in all of us, wearing my dark brown sandstone bibs out on the beach, climbing around rocks or hiking around. Carhartt has great clothing for all occasions from work to play and even dining out. 
I was actually cleaning out my closet on Sunday when I realized that almost all my work clothes are Carhartt. That's when I came to the conclusion that the family joke is indeed true. I always, in one form or another, have on a piece of carhartt clothing. As I sit here I'm wearing a pair of B-147 canvas work shorts and a short sleeve chambry shirt. Carhartt is what I wear. Carhartt is what I'm comfortable wearing.
Operating heavy equipment isn't a very hard job in some places but up on the oil fields of Alaska's north slope in the winter time it can get down right dangerous. 12 hour days 7 days a week for 8 to 10 weeks at a time makes some people go crazy where others just keep on truckn'. Work doesn't stop at 30 below or even 50 below 0. Things just get a little slower. You can find yourself stuck outside of your camp in a blizzard (we call them blows up there) for days at a time before you can get to food, water, or even a hot shower. There is no difference between a man and a woman in these conditions, everyone pulls together and works as a team to get the job done no matter what. Day in a day out building ice roads and islands only to see your work melt away every spring as the sun reappears and the darkness vanishes. This is a job of a north slope junkie.
Thank you for developing a line of Carhartt clothing for women. I am so pleased and cannot thank you enough. I just bought 4 pairs of Carhartt jeans, dungarees, and a jacket. I work in the Arctic in Alaska and wore out two pairs of another brand of jeans in 5 months. I never could wear men's pants due to my figure. Walking in a store and seeing a line especially for women is heaven! I have told all my gal-pals and the response has been very positive. Thank you so much!!!
I just wanted to say that Carhartt has surpassed any other jeans on the market today. I purchased two pair of Carhartt jeans over two years ago and wear each pair at least two days a week of course they are washed each time I wear them. I used to be a concrete worker but now I am a yard foreman for Bozeman Brick Block and Tile working outside in all types of weather. So as you can imagine I have put these jeans to the test. As my wife and I were talking today and I commented on how well these jeans have stood up to whatever I have put them through, all four seasons. I will purchase more of these jeans when these two pair fall off my body. In conclusion I just want to say thank you for taking pride in building a pair of jeans that really stand the test of time.
