Carhartt Company and Vax

[1nderbeard]

Do with this what you will. Can't think of a bigger rake for this company to step on.

Carhartt CEO says an unvaccinated workforce is a 'risk that our company is unwilling to take'

Some customers are threatening to boycott the workwear company for mandating vaccines, while others praise the brand for protecting employees

sorry, dupe.

Is he unwilling for reduced sales ???

They clearly don't know who their customers are.

I'm hearing that folks are tearing off their logos on their previously owned Carhartts and are putting their favorite patches in their place. Good on them.

I'm not anti-vax, but rather pro-freedom.

I was fortunate to find a Made in USA Carhartt for sale right when they made the transition to the made in mexico crap and it has served me well. A shame to see yet another formerly great American brand sink this low.

What’s next? Is Starbucks going to quit selling to hipsters? Welcome to crazy world.

They did cancel their mask and vaccine mandates, so there is that…

Being 6'4", it is very difficult to find clothing at times. I have appreciated the fact that Carhartt makes tall sizes that fit me well. Most of my work shirts and casual clothes are Carhartt. Guess my purchases 2 weeks ago are the last till I can figure out how to replace them.

There are 11 pages of discussion on Carhartt, starting at post number 8, at this thread, we covered the topic pretty throughly. LOL

It's too bad it apparently doesn't capture the interest of everyone, but luckily this is America/INGO, and we're free to have multiple threads on overlapping subjects

Yep, but if they missed the original thread I gave them a link. If I was concerned with it I would report it as mods asked. Probably should have been its own thread…

Noooooooooooo...say it ain't so!!! Argh, this is so disappointing. They were a "go to" for gear that would last out in the woods. Guess I'm shopping for a new fave. I expected this from Nike 100%, and Columbia has been pitifully trending toward woke for years so yep figured they would mandate but clearly Carhartt has no idea about it's customer base being a freedom loving people. So sad. Yes, I saw the tweets of people who are going to 'buy more' because of this decision but I just don't see those coming from a heavy percentage of their customer base. Guess I'll voice my displeasure with their choice by spending my dollars elsewhere. I don't understand the timing though. With so many countries announcing that they are rolling back their precautions and so many medical experts saying the trend toward infection is dropping and with the "O" variant nearing herd immunity...WHY NOW?

Just disappointed about their business decision...I'll be back if/when it changes...
