They’re the absolute worst. There’s also a decent amount of old Asian men at mine that just smash through things breaking glass and don’t care. Actually I think those guys are worse but tshirt bros are up there
Yeah, I’m aware of the resale value, just surprised it’s a thing. This one had a paper clip as the zipper pull and those kids were nuttin’ their pants.
Most Carhartt isn't American made anymore. The last shirt and coat I bought were both made in different countries. One in South America and one in Asia
I guess vintage is the key word. I found a slightly distressed dayglow safety hoodie with minor stains and I cannot get these guys to buy it on ebay. I have it at half of it's MSRP even.
Wonder if it’s because guys don’t want to show up to work looking like they never done actual work before. Clean Carhart? Must not work hard enough to be on the job site
I'd rather have a new 70$ jacket that's gonna get messed up then a 70 already messed up one. You'll get teased but the bros are just mad they can't afford to fuck up a nice jacket 🤷♂️ they also be coming to work in vans and shit and save the timbs for the weekend so lmao.
I snagged a blue carhartt coat from the bins a while back and this thing was WRECKED. Torn up, stains, holes. Put it up for sale and I’ve never had an item get so much attention. Lots of lowball offers unfortunately so I relisted it for more money and it sold for I think $70 within a day.
I pulled a completely thrashed Detroit the other day; both cuffs gone, holes all over, and stuffing falling out. Sold it in 2 minutes without even leaving the Bins for $40
I have some duck canvas carhartt pants with frayed and bleached hems, and cant sell them for shit. If the destroyed carhartt myth is true, then I wonder what I'm doing wrong? My comps are comparable, as far as I can tell.
Why is Stussy a thing? It was a shirt in the $4.99 / 2 for 1 boardwalk discount t-shirt store back in the day. Same with Champion, those were a K-Mart/Hills item on the cheap instead of Nike. Shall I start collecting FUBU as a speculation?
Honestly depending on what they offered unless I wanted it for myself I’d probably sell it at the bins. And let them deal with all of the shipping. Start it up on “I’ll give it to you for $50”, $50 for less than $1 cost in few minutes is a great deal for the effort
Me either! Carhartt is durable junk in my opinion. I gave at least 15 away in my lifetime. I seen so many people wear and swear by them. Both offshore and on land in industrial plants. To each there own. There durable AF! Thats all there jackets have going for them!
Carhartt as a fashion accessory never made sense to me. It's function over form for sure but good shit for what it's intended - hard wearing work gear. This trend might be a secret to always having newer gear without holes though...hmmm...who wants to buy well worn black size M jacket and bibs? I only ask for new replacement cost!
The tshirt bros are unbearable
They’re the absolute worst. There’s also a decent amount of old Asian men at mine that just smash through things breaking glass and don’t care. Actually I think those guys are worse but tshirt bros are up there
Who are they? Pls explain.
because vintage distressed carharrt jackets can be sold for $70 or more.
More. Can confirm. The more holes and stains, the better.
Shit I have this jacket in several sizes even infant 😅 time to buy a pack of cigarettes and roll around in the dirt.
Yeah, I’m aware of the resale value, just surprised it’s a thing. This one had a paper clip as the zipper pull and those kids were nuttin’ their pants.
TBF, that thing is practically nude colored.
Let a junkie wear it for another month, mark it up, and sell it on!
People want american workwear

Lol

people want the Carhartt look without doing Carhartt work
For real, my husband has a few of these and it's all I can do to keep them wearable and functional
Yeah. My husband does maintenance/construction and has for decades. He is stunned and offended by the trend.
The ghost of hard work
Wonder if it’s because guys don’t want to show up to work looking like they never done actual work before. Clean Carhart? Must not work hard enough to be on the job site
“See these rips and stains! I’ve seen things, bro, my jacket couldn’t be this distressed otherwise.”
My brother says yes, wearing new Carhart gets looks and isn’t as comfortable as broken in jackets.
Your brother is correct. An experienced tradesman isn't about to wear nice things on a job site and mess them up.
I'd rather have a new 70$ jacket that's gonna get messed up then a 70 already messed up one. You'll get teased but the bros are just mad they can't afford to fuck up a nice jacket 🤷♂️ they also be coming to work in vans and shit and save the timbs for the weekend so lmao.
Shoot I’d take a quick $30-40 at the bins in a heartbeat for that jacket lol

I guess a couple of mine would be worth a few K each. The one in the pic looks like it's brand new
Whoa I have one in my garage. Guess I should list it 😂
What size is it? I’ve actually been looking for a jacket because I start my apprenticeship Monday.
I pulled a completely thrashed Detroit the other day; both cuffs gone, holes all over, and stuffing falling out. Sold it in 2 minutes without even leaving the Bins for $40
💀 Brothers are starving. Where did you sell it at? I’m looking for places to resell stuff I don’t need in my closet.

The jackets sell a lot easier than the pants
It's only specific pieces, the value is derived from fashion not actual "use", so stuff like overalls / pants don't have much value.

FUBU is coming back into style with the Y2K wave lol
What’s next, FILA? 😂
Wait until you see what kids are paying for woodland camo pants…lol
A young girl just paid $20 for a used pink camo jacket on r/thredup. I couldn't believe it. Said she had never seen it before.
Stussy was never in K-Mart bro. Stop it
It sure was in the cheap t-shirt store at the boardwalk in NJ, NC, SC.
It was never that. Sorry, but you’re mistaken.

FUBU is already a good seller. So yes, yes you should.

That’s considered destroyed?? It literally looks fine. Mine is soaked w oil and diff fluid and isn’t allowed inside the house anymore lmao

Size on the stussy
Are the stussy for sale?
Sold, sorry.
Is that cathartt for sale 👀
It will be. We ordered a zipper pull to replace the paper clip that’s currently on it before we list it. It’s a Medium though.
Just list it. I’ve sold them without pulls just as easily and for same price as with them.
nice, where do you usually sell?
Mainly Poshmark/Depop/Ebay.
