WTB: used Carhartt pants

[Purzell]

Cross posted from ADV...

Tis the season again where I start looking for a pair or two of used Carhartt's to take me through fall and winter. I like double knee dungarees in most colors, worn is good, sizes from 34-36 can apply, length 30-32 but I can shorten them and take them in if necessary. Last year I got some 33's on here which were ok but I like them roomier in the legs, so no 33 please. If you have any PM me please, price shipped to 95818. Thanks!

here we go... how are MKs "much better"

 

[BKCowGod]

Because they cost more and they photograph their models leaning against vintage Porsches?

exactly!!!

MKs are better because of MANY reasons...where to begin. They are much softer, thus more comfortable, from the very first wear. They will last for many years to come even after extreme wear and tear (bet you replace those Carhartts year after year). They are made from proprietary fabrics that are durable, yet comfortable. They have a reinforced heal cuff to prevent fraying. They have a gusseted crotch for extra room during strenuous activities. They have triple stitching for extra reinforcement (you don't want to be left pant less). and the list could go on and on...

Yes, they are more expensive but as the old saying goes "you get what you pay for." Food for thought...

To me, wearing MKs feels like I'm wearing two stiff old canvas puptents wrapped around my legs.

I have never experienced a pair of MKs that are stiff.
Have you ever worn Carhartts? They will stand on their own.

Umm...

HI! I am glad everyone is reading my post, but I would like to put out there that I am still looking for some used Carhartts!

I know they fit me and I go through a pair per winter doing dirty projects, and I'm not going to wherever they sell Mountain Khakis or whatever to find out how those fit. :Wow1:

SO...if you have some used Carhartts you would like to sell me, please PM.

Thanks!
