OT - Need assistance with getting new sweatshirts for work

admin

So I've been wearing carhartt crew neck heavyweight sweatshirts for over 20 years now. They are great for welding in, working outside, working in freezers etc, great for general work.  Well I didnt get the memo that carhartt stopped making them 3 years ago. I normally purchase 5-7 new ones the year before I really need them. Now I need new sweatshirts and there is no source.What does everyone else wear? I am the type of person who loves the cold weather and I work in a 0 degree freezer at times with just 2 sweatshirts on. For the record, carhartt still makes the sweatshirt, but only in hooded. I would rather spend $45 on a good new brand instead of buying the hooded and cutting it off and sewing it back up for $60.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Reply:Carhartts are 13oz 80% cotton 20% poly something.I wouldn't have a problem going heavier, but these carhartts can take abuse. My 15 yr old ones are still the best rags I have in the shop.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Reply:Fastenal sells Carhartts, but only half the weight you were getting. Not sure how the metric weight on these translates into English measure.  https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/922475299250 amp Miller DialArc AC/DC StickF-225 amp Forney AC Stick230 amp Sears AC StickLincoln 180C MIGVictor Medalist 350 O/ACut 50 PlasmaLes
