Columbia and Nike plan to fire unvaccinated employees

[Jaybird1980]

I'm making my own from now on. Hand stitching pieces cut from the Harbor Freight some conservative, veteran owned US canvas manufacturer drop cloths for the exterior and for insulation I'll stitch in US surplus poncho liners.

Gonna start carving up a set of wooden work boots as well.

You will find plenty of materials at the gunshows you will be frequenting.

Is 5 coats enough? or would you like an inventory list of the shirts, hats, hoodies, bibs, pants, etc?

Dude, none of them are even dirty! Is it the 'work' part or the 'wear' part that is giving you difficulty

I understand why people are more upset about this one. It’s like realizing that flirty stripper doesn’t actually think you’re cute and funny. Maybe this is just a good reminder that big companies are more interested in profits than shared values.

But she DID think I was cute and funny! If she hadn't been married, and if her husband hadn't left threatening messages on my answering machine, I think we could have hit it off!

I realize that we cannot possibly boycott everyone that has a vaccine mandate policy and function in this society. I was trying to understand why INGO seems to go after those that seem closer to us than they do others.

It came to me last evening that INGO in general seems to expect more of Carhartt than they do Nike, so when Carhartt fails to live up to that expectation the rhetoric gets pretty high. But the truth of it is Carharrt is just another clothing corporation and it is unrealistic for us to expect more of them than we do any other clothing Company.

I think it is that we have known Nike hated us from the time they gave a failed quarterback a platform for systemic racism bull****. We've had time to lower our already low expectations of Nike

Carharrt, as you say, seemed to be more one of us. It feels more Judas-like. No pieces of silver from me

What makes it so weird, though, is I don't see progressives rushing out to add Carharrts to their wardrobe

It feels like a betrayal, and if it doesn't work out economically, I'll watch them burn. Won't get fooled again

They might go down the same path North Face did, then. Making clothes that people wanted to be seen in instead of useful technical gear. Then when fashions change and there are new cool kids they have nothing left

I don't know that I'd label them all 'progressives', but Carhartt has been a staple of hip hop fashion since the 1980s.

Patagonia is taking this route lately. Their baseball hats have become popular with every guy in his 20s. They’ve been releasing hats and t-shirts in a million designs and colors.

So as someone who was shopping for a new work hoodie. Is there a brand out there that isn't communist and makes stuff on par or better than Carharrt?

I have never heard of any. Carhartt had the quality end staked out, so others competed on price…

I'm going to go a little farther and say if you haven't heard of Origin and want American made clothing and related items made completely with American sourced materials on rebuilt American machines, you should look into them.

I can listen to Pete Roberts talk about his vision to bring American manufacturing back for hours.

Thanks I'll look into those brands a little closer this weekend. Cursory glance looks like nice stuff.

She told me and Reggie you seemed a little clingy.

Do not really know anything about them but they sure love the word tactical in their descriptions. Like this description of nearly $200 jeans. But they have a half year wait to get them…

Their lead times have gone up since COVID hit the factory there late last year and most of their workforce is was out sick. I have a couple pair of jeans on order still, so I get regular emails with updates on what is going on there. Their lead times are usually fairly lengthy, but they are experiencing some growing pains and adding factories in South Carolina to help.

About the price... people want to buy American made products until it's time to pay for American made products. The main thing that caused companies to start manufacturing overseas were the high costs of paying American workers a living wage. Now I see a lot of people screaming to bring manufacturing back, but then complain when it costs more to buy.

I went through the website really quick since I never noticed the word "tactical" in any of the products I've looked at. That is the only place I saw it. It's kind of out of place for those jeans, but it doesn't make me roll my eyes like Goruck's "special forces rated materials". I like my Gorucks, but they need to lay off on that ridiculous jargon.

Look at the features of the hoodie you linked too. Tactical logo! WTH! LOL…
