Summary: The quintessential garment
Comment: Carhartt's washed duck work dungarees are just about the perfect garment. To begin with, they're practically indestructible and last a very long time--that's the quality of endurance you truly want in a garment. I first stumbled upon Carhartt in a shop in Watkins Glen, N.Y. They're not showy or fashionable--so much of the clothing industry, it seems, has gone this route. In our "designer label" mass culture almost everything we crave for and buy is basically a fraud or purchased merely for its entertainment or status value. The very notion "value" has been contorted beyond all recognition.
Not so with the honesty and simplicity of Carhartt. It is in the truth of a Carhartt garment we find intrinsic value. You get what you see.
Be who you are. Don't pretend to be something you are not. Buy these. Wear them. Sit back--relax. Better yet, take a walk.
"Few people" Emerson tells us, "know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much."
Take a deep breath. Now you're really living and not just faking it.
That, it seems to me, describes Carhartt perfectly.
