I think alllllll my coats are black right now. I agree</p> <p>Kellygirl--I do really like the original, but only for certain people.<br />Sisi--you're welcome! Thank you.<br />Cookie--that's so funny. They are attractive jackets, and I wonder if they are going to become big among us "non-workers" like messenger bags, or something.<br />Ket--Thanks--I am still getting used to the material. Or.....rather the weight. It is a heavy jacket. But very nice looking! We will see how it does in different types of weather.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-find-americana#post-2384581 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 15:39:11 +0000 Ket 2384581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cookie</b>, your brother's interaction is hilarious! My husband has an art degree from a prestigious art college. He used to wear very funky, artsy clothes and work in art galleries-- the whole 9 yards. And... these days he wears almost all Carhartt, ha! People's perceptions are very interesting.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Carol</b>, what a great find! I agree that this version is really great on you The great thing about Carharrt's canvas line is it wears like iron, so you'll get lots of use out of it. My son had a pair of their overalls when he was age 4. Super cute!! He could have worn those things for probably a decade had he not so quickly grown.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-find-americana#post-2384422 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 15:56:07 +0000 Carol 2384422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cookie--I love that. I did have to Google the original purpose of Carhartt when I did this post. And it was for railroad workers in the 1800s!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-find-americana#post-2384407 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:04:53 +0000 Cookie 2384407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so cute in your jacket!</p> <p>My brother has the original version and was wearing it in a coffee shop, reading a book and minding his own business, when a random woman blurted out, “Construction workers who read are so sexy.” I’m not sure if this would have been less or more awkward if he actually were a construction worker, but for whatever it’s worth he is a writer (and gay). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-find-americana#post-2384395 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 07:48:39 +0000 Sisi 2384395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha, thank you for making me laugh with the incipit of your post!&nbsp;<br />You look fab in that jacket! I like you very much in # 5.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-find-americana#post-2384371 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 03:36:59 +0000 kellygirl 2384371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choice! IKWYM about the classic version! I see it every day in the wild. I much prefer the more subdued black. Sporty and practical.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-find-americana#post-2384368 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 03:30:50 +0000 Bijou 2384368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cool and I like that the black is a more subtle version of the original classic. I find black to be the most versatile colour for a coat, I hope this will be a wardrobe workhorse for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-find-americana#post-2384347 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 00:00:07 +0000 Lisa 2384347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent jacket on you. And I agree, when you style with the vibe versus just the item, it's a better opportunity to make it "you." Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-find-americana#post-2384345 Wed, 16 Apr 2025 23:44:42 +0000 Jaime 2384345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A poetic post and an excellent choice of jacket!<br />Agree about the vibe vs. the item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-find-americana#post-2384335 Wed, 16 Apr 2025 23:27:32 +0000 Angie 2384335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Sal </b>said!</p> <p>You look ADORABLE in pic #3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-find-americana#post-2384328 Wed, 16 Apr 2025 22:13:21 +0000 Dee 2384328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice jacket, just the right vibe and a fun narrative too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-find-americana#post-2384326 Wed, 16 Apr 2025 21:51:09 +0000 Sal 2384326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun description.&nbsp; And great jacket on you.&nbsp; I think this style is better for your style than the original. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-latest-find-americana#post-2384320 Wed, 16 Apr 2025 20:28:31 +0000 Carol 2384320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>“Go to the Saturday dance,” his mother said, patting him on the cheek. “That city blonde will be there.”</p> <p>“But Saturday I need to varnish the barn,” he said. “Besides. Rachel and I used to always go dancing.” </p> <p>“Rachel ran away with that surf instructor three years ago….it is time to move on,” his mother reminded him. </p> <p>Carhartt jackets are, for me, another quintessentially American look, and here I associate it with the handsome love interest in a Hallmark movie. Rural, doing manual labor, classically masculine. These jackets are so iconically masculine, in fact, that when women wear them, their delicacy is enhanced—much in the same way it is by overalls or a letter jacket. </p> <p>I wanted one for a few months, and finally got this black one. It is quite different from the original brown one with a collar. I really wanted the original, but when I saw it I knew it would look gimmicky on me. Sometimes it’s better to have the vibe of a look, rather than the original item.</p> </p>
