United Cap & Hatters Millinery Workers Union label can be seen hiding behind the original size tag. Originally priced at $4.25, likely dates to the 1960's based on the cursive script label.

Early 1900's CARHARTT Union Made Clothing Fabric Sample Mailer

Turn of the century Hamilton Carhartt Manufacturing Co. illustrated Union Made Work Clothing brochure with fabric samples. 
Cloth swatches include denim, heart print indigo dyed wabash, yarn dyed black cotton twill and a long time favorite pin-check referred to here as "highest grade and favorites in the south". The swatch of blue twill with grey and white twisted yarn warp or fill seen in the upper left corner is especially interesting. The taupe or olive colored twill seen in the lower right corner was used for New York state work uniforms. A similar color is found on vintage NYC workers uniform garments manufactured by Sweet-Orr. 
In addition to the various fabrics, the illustration of the rail worker holding the oil can (seen in the middle of the fabric swatches) and THE TROLLY CAR-HEART BRAND Union Made Pants and Overalls box logo are also seen in various Carhartt Railroad Time Books dating from 1900 to 1907 and help to date this mailer to the early 1900's.

Vintage 1920's CARHARTT Chore Coat

This exemplary Carhartt chore coat described as dating to the 1920's was recently offered for sale by the fine folks at IN VINTAGE WE TRUST and even priced at just under five big ones, this beauty didn't last long.
Some of the killer details seen in the photos below include angular watch pocket with primitive single stitching and rarely seen early Carhartt Master Cloth label, heart shaped "change" or removable buttons with patent date of 1918, sleeve cuff rivet reinforcement and early United Garment Workers of America union label.
While many of the same type of coats from the same time period featured chin strap collar closures, photos and description of this coat did not reference this feature which was also know as dust proof collar or military style adjustable collar.  A similar coat is seen inside the Carhartt Universal Time Book from 1935.

1930s CARHARTT OVERALLS Advertising Bandana

Fantastic CARHARTT OVERALLS advertising bandana likely dating to the 1930's possibly earlier. Mega rare joint effort featuring both the manufacturer (Carhartt) and retail store (William Glick of Willard, Ohio). Some of the nicest graphics and color combination seen on a promotional workwear bandana, fitting of one of the best brands ever. This bandanna even has the prerequisite paisley pattern.
Like the use of the arrow directing BEST FOR WEAR to the heart mark trolly car logo.
The seller of this rare piece must have hit the floor as it topped the $1,000 mark.

NOT PROFIT ALONE BUT FRIENDS

The Profit on My Goods Too Small for Most Dealers

"If I can have but one thing, the respect of my customer or their business, I prefer the former, though I desire both, and trust I merit them. I have never manufactured goods for profit alone; profit is necessary , of course, but secondary to me. I would not consider that I was advancing in the business world unless I made friends as well as profits. Can it be said that I am not wise?"  Hamilton Carhartt

Via this mornings LA TIMES Image section:  Glenn O'Brien, author of "How to Be a Man" and GQ's "Style Guy" columnist: "I kind of like the traditional outfit, although a tartan might be a nice variation [in] a red-based plaid. [Santa Claus] probably wears Woolrich — the really, really super-heavy wool trousers, jacket and vest that are made for hunters, which will be good so he won't be mistaken for a reindeer. He'd be wearing those American-made Red Wing boots that are really hip right now, and beards are back. Santa's more in style than ever now".

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and all the best this Holiday Season.

1940's era Carhartt UNION MADE •SANFORIZED• Dark Brown Canvas Duck Cap in a rarely seen primitive style. Details include stingy brim visor and simple construction reminiscent of early "cake" type baseball caps. Really liking the elongated stitching used to secure the Carhartt Script Heart Mark Trolly Car printed label.

1960's Era Carhartt Pants Incorrectly Listed on ebay as 1920's

Not sure if ebay seller natenkristy is either someone who likes to stretch the truth, is misinformed or a combination of both. Either way people need to know that unscrupulous sellers continue to describe vintage items as much older than they are with little or no regard to the facts. 

The real kicker is their brazen statement which reads " I had a close friend who is as knowledgeable as they come in dating vintage US workwear / denim date these for me". The seller then proceeds to rattle off many inaccurate references that do nothing to support their claim that these pants are from the 1920's. If you are gonna state a bunch of facts, at least try and get 'em right.

These pants are likely from the 1960's and are without a doubt no earlier than the 1950's.

Sad to see this great pair of duck pants tarnished by a description filled with false facts and wishful thinking.

A classic case of CAVEAT EMPTOR or "Let the buyer beware".
