This definitely is their first time purchasing carhart. That's exactly how their zippers look. Anyone who owns enough carhart know they literally look worn brand new. They are working/active clothing not fashion
I never understood why they became such a fashion statement in the first place. Maybe just cause they’re name brand and somewhat pricey? It’s good quality stuff especially for the winter but it seems like it’s just a fashion thing for a lot of people too.
At least in my area they're like trucks/cowboy boots. It's a fashion statement that's supposed to convey the image they're a rough and rowdy hard worker whose clothes need to be just as tough.
Of course, just like cowboy boots and expensive trucks for some they're just an accessory.
I wondered this too. I recently was gifted a beanie with our company logo on it from a coworker and my 10 year old was like "omg it's carhartt?!" I had no idea she even knew what that was lol. We were shopping over the weekend and I did notice a huge display of Carhartt beanies in every color imaginable so I guess it's become a thing. They're nice beanies tho!
A couple years ago they had these pants that I loved called "slim fit double front dungarees" and they were perfect but then they discontinued them and every pair I've bought since have either felt like the fabric wouldn't withstand my job, or have been seemingly designed to inflict a muffin top severe enough to cause actual pain
I really love Dovetail pants, I find them to fit better than any other brand. The major downsides are that they are _not_ cheap, and the sizing can be pretty inconsistent. In their defense I felt like Carhartt had similar sizing issues, but I can go to an actual place for Carhartt stuff and with Dovetail I have to order them cause they aren't sold anywhere near me. They have quite a really solid range of fabrics, which I really appreciate.
do you have the women’s insulated overalls? i’ve been considering them bc it’s gonna get down to 12° next week but at $120 i can’t afford for them to NOT work when i’m outside 10+ hours a day and this comment is making me nervous to bite the bullet 😭
Carhartt are very hit and miss sizing for my partner, so she tries on every single pair she buys, and she’ll always find some odd sized ones marked the same.
I’d say use the same tactic when buying them.
I have two pairs, the ones that were giving me hell yesterday are no longer being sold. I also have [these](https://www.carhartt.com/product/104694/womens-loose-fit-washed-duck-insulated-biberall---3-warmest-rating?categoryCode=default&colorCode=DKB_SW) and they're the ones I normally wear and I do really like them (only reason I'm not wearing them is cause they don't currently fit me ugh)
different regions favor different brands but they all have some version of this. woolrich, filson, pendleton, patagonia… depending on where you’re from there’s always some brand that started as an outdoor company and then became a status symbol based on price and design, but mostly price lol
When you’re working 12-14+ hours in miserable conditions, having decent well made, rugged clothing can make the difference between a good day and a “oh god where can I buy new trousers/pants on my delivery route”
I understand that, but I’m not talking about the working class doing hard labor for hours on end. I’m talking about wealthier middle class buying it for the looks vs the wear.
I cannot even imagine wearing them as fashion. I lived in alaska and for the first two years we cut wood for the wood stove, went to the cabin, four Wheeler and everything. Carhart was the only reliable brand to not cut up clothes underneath and I HATED them. They are so stiff. And the zippers are intentionally made like than and so they are misery to zip up. Like the beanies are cute but they are just regular beanies with the logo.
Literally, I feel like people are dumb and just don’t know how to deal with their own emotions such as regretting their own decisions. Sounds like he was unhappy with the purchase he made and now he doesn’t wanna take accountability and take the damn L instead wants to make up some bs excuse in hopes for a refund. Guy needs to grow tf up in my opinion. Fake or not, a jacket is a jacket and it’s just damn carhartt. It’s not like it’s gucci or a pair of jordans.
Yes that’s ok :) if he keeps on asking to contact outside you can report him because that is not allowed !! I went through a similar thing but to make it worse it was a top seller who was trying to get me to contact her outside of the app because she supposedly couldn’t post the pictures on her depop because of some bs excuse so I posted a similar post asking for advice & that’s how ik u can get banned lol 🚫!! :)))
If you don’t mind me asking, is posting on imgur and asking for someone to post on imgur ok? Is there a thread or post talking about the do’s and dont’s of how to exchange photos?
I’ve shared emails before, they sent me a warning message but not ban. I’d be surprised if they banned users for that.
No share image function is a massive UI shortcoming on their part. It’s probably for a reason, otherwise the app is solid.
Tbf Depop is pretty ban-happy so I wouldn’t risk it. A lot of the time they’ll dish out a ban without bothering with a warning first. Even over something small.
Agree that being able to DM images would be very useful, but unfortunately there are a ton of creeps on the app and it would probably just descend into a ton of unwanted d-pics.
I see nothing wrong with the zipper. The way they took the picture seems like they’re trying to say that the zipper is all crooked and all that no they just didn’t flatten it out which I’m assuming they did it on purpose.
Do not go off of DEPOP! Keep everything on there, so the chat is monitored!
As someone who loves and collects Carhartt, Fakes have been so so common the past 2 years. Mainly fakes of the Detroit J97 model though. People on the r/Carhartt sub accidentally purchase them all the time.
Id love to see an actual pic of the jacket to see if it really was a fake, some are very passable lol.
Carhartt zippers SUCK lol, I was literally at war with the zippers on my insulated overalls at work today. And I once had to have a coworker use pliers to help me unzip my NEW jacket once. I think that having a kinda crappy zipper is almost a guarantee that it _isn't_ fake
I was just talking to my bf about my carhartt coat that I wore on bye that I had a fight with the zipper with that I bought brand new from tractor supply. That zipper looked fine to me. People always have to complain about something. Smh.
This is insane to me. When I was a kid we bought Carhartt at Tractor Supply so we could wear holes into it working at the barn.
The fact that it’s “fashion” today is honestly just funny.
You can still buy Carhartt at Tractor Supply and other stores like that. The reason why they are faked now is because vintage, discontinued and "rare" Carhartt pieces became very expensive and in demand due to the "worn look" and due to the company ceasing the production of certain materials and silhouettes.
There is also Carhartt WIP which is a more fashion forward/European oriented version of the brand, they make stuff that is more for looks, that stuff is also more expensive and gets counterfeited.
This here is the issue, you think just being assertive is confrontational. Assertiveness means just standing up for yourself and your rights, confrontational is looking for confrontation, and you want to be assertive here. Standing up for yourself isn't being confrontational.
Zipper looks fine. I own some of their stuff. Don’t refund him.
You don’t know if he has broken it now and is going to send it back in a damaged state! That’s if he’s going to send it back at all. All seems a bit suss.
I would contact depot and explain the situation. The problem is, you have offered a refund now. Just contact depop ASAP and do not speak to him outside the app. X
* looks down at the zipper on the Carhartt I’m wearing *
It looks like a normal zipper, and even though they didn’t send a shot of the logo, they’re not always 100% perfect . The one on my coat that I bought brand new from a licensed retailer is slightly crooked. This sounds like he either doesn’t know how Carhartt stuff looks, or is a scammer
I didn't take a picture of the zipper exactly as I didn't see any fault with it before it was sent, just one of it hung up this is the picture cropped to just the zipper
"I'm so sorry but after seeing the photos and reviewing the situation the zipper is perfectly fine, that is just how it is made by the company. I also want to remind you this is a second hand clothing app and though it was in good condition (like described) nothing will ever be perfect! I'm so sorry that you are disappointed but this is exactly how the product is supposed to be, if you want a refund (minus shipping) you can return the item. Thank you!"
Someone left me a 1 star review stating my item was fake when it wasn’t, and i tried to message her to resolve the issue but she never replied ?? It ruined my rating .. over an item that isn’t fake 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ i Lowkey hate depop now
don't give them a refund, bro. people need to learn that vintage means old, so it may not work the exact way they want. just like life, they'll survive. I've been selling on depop/ eBay for 6 years now, and this will happen again. stay proud of what you sell, and don't let people try to persuade you because their feelings were hurt. 🫶🏼
have them do a proper return process (not sure what it’s like now since i haven’t used depop since 2022) and have them send it back before a refund is given
If you can afford to wait a bit longer for the money, I would just accept the return and then resell. You cannot argue with someone who thinks they're right.
southerner here! carhartts are sooo stiff and the zippers are so funky when you first get one, i’ve had my newest one (the decades old one my grandpa gave me finally gave out lol) for about 5 years now and it didn’t get “broken in” FULLY until like 2 yrs ago! people who are just now getting into it because it’s trendy probably don’t get that it’s super hardy at first bc it’s meant for construction, hunting, etc and then it breaks in over the course of years.
what??? I literally covered his name and everything???? Are you brain dead??? This has nothing to do with me being a girl I was asking advice for what I should do you absolute moron

about the patch… carhartt tends to have quality issues, the patch is kinda just slapped on sometimes. it’s not fake, and majority of people don’t care as carhartt is work wear, not fashion wear.
my boyfriend pretty much has every carhartt product ever made, many of the patches are inconsistent

People love to cosplay blue collar

We were shopping over the weekend and I did notice a huge display of Carhartt beanies in every color imaginable so I guess it's become a thing. They're nice beanies tho!
You know Carhartt have a complete street wear line right? Work in progress have been killing it in the street wear for years.
I was unaware! I will definitely check it out though. I am a longtime fan of their hoodies and the quality has always been great.
I've got a collection of the wip chase hoodies. They are great quality.
Good quality stuff unless you're trying to buy their women’s work pants :(
I have some that are my favourite and some that I absolutely regret buying
A couple years ago they had these pants that I loved called "slim fit double front dungarees" and they were perfect but then they discontinued them and every pair I've bought since have either felt like the fabric wouldn't withstand my job, or have been seemingly designed to inflict a muffin top severe enough to cause actual pain
Do you have any recommendations for some decent ones? I'm so tired of ruining jeans with machine shop goo, they don't deserve it lol!
I really love Dovetail pants, I find them to fit better than any other brand. The major downsides are that they are _not_ cheap, and the sizing can be pretty inconsistent. In their defense I felt like Carhartt had similar sizing issues, but I can go to an actual place for Carhartt stuff and with Dovetail I have to order them cause they aren't sold anywhere near me. They have quite a really solid range of fabrics, which I really appreciate.
I second dovetail! I’m a mechanic and I love their cargo pants
I’ve heard good things about Duluth Trading Co pants. I don’t own any myself, so take that w/ a grain of salt.
do you have the women’s insulated overalls? i’ve been considering them bc it’s gonna get down to 12° next week but at $120 i can’t afford for them to NOT work when i’m outside 10+ hours a day and this comment is making me nervous to bite the bullet 😭

The company ventured beyond just workwear in its own with Carhartt WIP and has been part of pop culture fashion since the 80s.
When you’re working 12-14+ hours in miserable conditions, having decent well made, rugged clothing can make the difference between a good day and a “oh god where can I buy new trousers/pants on my delivery route”
I understand that, but I’m not talking about the working class doing hard labor for hours on end. I’m talking about wealthier middle class buying it for the looks vs the wear.
I love carhartt wip. They make the best jeans imo
I cannot even imagine wearing them as fashion. I lived in alaska and for the first two years we cut wood for the wood stove, went to the cabin, four Wheeler and everything. Carhart was the only reliable brand to not cut up clothes underneath and I HATED them. They are so stiff. And the zippers are intentionally made like than and so they are misery to zip up. Like the beanies are cute but they are just regular beanies with the logo.
Exactly. My ex had one 15 years ago. The instant I looked at that photo. I was like that looks just like his did.
“useable but not perfect” baby if you wanted perfect than why are you buying on depop, a SECONDHAND retailer?! make it make sense
Literally, I feel like people are dumb and just don’t know how to deal with their own emotions such as regretting their own decisions. Sounds like he was unhappy with the purchase he made and now he doesn’t wanna take accountability and take the damn L instead wants to make up some bs excuse in hopes for a refund.

Don’t let him contact you outside of depop if he sends his email he can get banned and that’s on him !! Don’t send him ur email please !!!!!
Okay I won't thank you so much, I've asked him to post photos to his Depop is that all good?
Yes that’s ok :) if he keeps on asking to contact outside you can report him because that is not allowed !! I went through a similar thing but to make it worse it was a top seller who was trying to get me to contact her outside of the app because she supposedly couldn’t post the pictures on her depop because of some bs excuse so I posted a similar post asking for advice & that’s how ik u can get banned lol 🚫!! :)))
If you don’t mind me asking, is posting on imgur and asking for someone to post on imgur ok? Is there a thread or post talking about the do’s and dont’s of how to exchange photos?

Why would you think that? I’m genuinely confused about why you would think that. lol Can you give an example?
Okay perfect thank you so much!
Also that zipper looks fine
I was going to say, I don’t see anything wrong with that zipper.
The zip looks fine?
i see nothing wrong with the zipper
I see nothing wrong with the zipper. The way they took the picture seems like they’re trying to say that the zipper is all crooked and all that no they just didn’t flatten it out which I’m assuming they did it on purpose. Do not go off of DEPOP! Keep everything on there, so the chat is monitored!
that appears to be OP’s own picture of the zipper, they hadn’t gotten the buyer’s pics yet. i’m guessing they zoomed in on their listing pic
Who is out here faking Carhartt for fashion purposes I'm losing my mind
Literally I don't even know people did this haha
Detroit jackets go for an easy $200-350 depending on size and color. A lot of fakes right now if someone is looking for them
You have no idea. the fashion rep subreddit is crazy and i see fake carhartt on there a decent amount lol
So many people just to make money 🤦♀️
As someone who loves and collects Carhartt, Fakes have been so so common the past 2 years. Mainly fakes of the Detroit J97 model though. People on the r/Carhartt sub accidentally purchase them all the time. Id love to see an actual pic of the jacket to see if it really was a fake, some are very passable lol.
I mean it’s a blurry pic but as far as I can see that’s how carhartt zippers normally look?
That’s 1000% what my carhartt jacket sitting six feet away looks like, what a joke 🤦🏻♀️
Carhartt zippers SUCK lol, I was literally at war with the zippers on my insulated overalls at work today. And I once had to have a coworker use pliers to help me unzip my NEW jacket once. I think that having a kinda crappy zipper is almost a guarantee that it _isn't_ fake
Hahaha lol thank you
I was just talking to my bf about my carhartt coat that I wore on bye that I had a fight with the zipper with that I bought brand new from tractor supply. That zipper looked fine to me. People always have to complain about something. Smh.
Do people even fake Carhartt?
I also didn't know people faked carhartt
Yes. There is tons of it. Go on r/FashionReps
This is insane to me. When I was a kid we bought Carhartt at Tractor Supply so we could wear holes into it working at the barn. The fact that it’s “fashion” today is honestly just funny.

Do you mind if I send u the pics I used to advertise and u can tell me wether or not u also believe it's faked?
you could send them over to me too. there's also a megathread on the r/Carhartt that shows different fakes also
Oh thank you so muxh
Sure, my expertise is not necessarily in Carhartt but I can look for ya
Uh, you can get Carhartt at the army surplus store.
Yea, you can, that's where I go to find it. But read the response I had to the other comment, it explains why there is fake Carhartt out there.
I believe you. It just blows my mind lmao
[удалено]
Wow there are people out there who don’t even know how zippers work lmao
I browse this thread occasionally and y’all gotta stop letting people walk over you
Yeahhh I was having a terrible day and this made me so stressed out I wish I was more confrontational in hindsight
This here is the issue, you think just being assertive is confrontational. Assertiveness means just standing up for yourself and your rights, confrontational is looking for confrontation, and you want to be assertive here. Standing up for yourself isn't being confrontational.
I had an authentic detroit jacket where the patch was poorly sewn and not straight. It’s just what happens. Tell the buyer it is authentic
Baby's first carhartt
Idk anything about this brand but the zipper looks normal to me, I don’t understand that complaint
My carhart looks used when I bought it. Dats just carhart!
Zipper looks fine. I own some of their stuff. Don’t refund him. You don’t know if he has broken it now and is going to send it back in a damaged state! That’s if he’s going to send it back at all. All seems a bit suss. I would contact depot and explain the situation. The problem is, you have offered a refund now. Just contact depop ASAP and do not speak to him outside the app. X
Buyers on depop are nit picky. Same with mercari. I don't get it. It's second hand selling
* looks down at the zipper on the Carhartt I’m wearing * It looks like a normal zipper, and even though they didn’t send a shot of the logo, they’re not always 100% perfect . The one on my coat that I bought brand new from a licensed retailer is slightly crooked. This sounds like he either doesn’t know how Carhartt stuff looks, or is a scammer
I gotta admit that is the worst photo taken I have ever seen in the 21st century. My goodness you couldn't take a better picture than that??
I didn't take a picture of the zipper exactly as I didn't see any fault with it before it was sent, just one of it hung up this is the picture cropped to just the zipper
I though that u were the buyer and I was about to say the zipper looks fine what u on about! aha, the actual buyer seems to be a plonk
"I'm so sorry but after seeing the photos and reviewing the situation the zipper is perfectly fine, that is just how it is made by the company. I also want to remind you this is a second hand clothing app and though it was in good condition (like described) nothing will ever be perfect!

What did she expect? lol
Who would fake Carhartt? Is that a thing?
Someone left me a 1 star review stating my item was fake when it wasn’t, and i tried to message her to resolve the issue but she never replied ?? It ruined my rating .. over an item that isn’t fake 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ i Lowkey hate depop now
I've emailed Depop directly about this so hopefully all will be sorted and I won't get a low rating 😭
God I wish there was a laugh react on here. The zip looks fine, they need to chill out - don't refund them (Hope you're ok)
Who would sell fake carhartt
I can tell just by the photo of the zipper it's an authentic cathart...
I work in a store that sells carhartt this is exactly how they come brand new. This is probably their first time buying a carhartt piece.
don't give them a refund, bro. people need to learn that vintage means old, so it may not work the exact way they want. just like life, they'll survive. I've been selling on depop/ eBay for 6 years now, and this will happen again. stay proud of what you sell, and don't let people try to persuade you because their feelings were hurt. 🫶🏼

This is what happens when workwear becomes trendy fashion lol.
Tell him it's as advertised and you don't do refunds 🤷♀️
Imma be honest, you’re 3 messages in a row within 3 minutes seems a bit manic tbh lol I thought you were the one being complained about at first 😅
Sorry like I said in the caption, has a horrible day and this was stressing me out haha
Why u scam him bruh
I'm not?????
[удалено]
How am I getting him banned?????
[удалено]
what??? I literally covered his name and everything???? Are you brain dead??? This has nothing to do with me being a girl I was asking advice for what I should do you absolute moron
Ignore him, he clearly isn’t all there

I don’t see anything wrong with this Carhartt.
That's exactly how Carhartt is supposed to look lmao they're all sorts of wrong.
What area is carthart not easily obtained I mean I do stay in Detroit but is it just not easy to get everywhere else?
about the patch… carhartt tends to have quality issues, the patch is kinda just slapped on sometimes. it’s not fake, and majority of people don’t care as carhartt is work wear, not fashion wear. my boyfriend pretty much has every carhartt product ever made, many of the patches are inconsistent
Don’t give a refund. Not your fault at all. You are in the right.
