    Wait, Carhartt is a stereotype of the left wing now? I’ve always associated it with very blue collar, outdoors type work. The kinds of jobs that you wouldn’t typically associate with left wing extremism.

      Carhartt “went woke” and the left likes quality cloths too so I guess it didn’t take a whole lot to change perception (blue collar workers that aren’t insane still wear Carhartt btw, lol)

      Carhartt WIP is a fashion focused side brand separate from the original carhartt, for people who want to pay extra to cosplay as a laborer.

        One example does not prove a trend.

        Plus, I’m just talking about perception, not the reality of the actual political leanings of every single Carhartt customer.
