Thank you! Sometimes it's fun to learn where all this stuff came from, or at least I think so.

A related factoid, in the mid 19th century "jeans" referred to a fabric woven like denim where the warp was wool, and the weft was cotton, thus putting the wool on the outside and the cotton against your skin. This fabric was commonly used for work trousers during the Civil War.

On sundays when I wear a suit to church, I'm afraid to even climb into my truck. I definitely prefer workwear

I actually like the stiffness of duck canvas. It makes the clothing feel like it's high quality. I had a pair of carhartt duck work pants that I wore out on the right thigh where my tool belt rubbed up against it, I can't get myself to throw them out because they're so comfy.

I love Duck clothing and John Denver. great show.

Never knew that about duck canvas being waterproof. I love Carhartt because is warm and looks great.

The Carhartt canvas big bulky coat with the hood on it you can find in a lot of places for sale, is hands down my favorite coat. I will wear the thing all the way up until at least 65-ish degrees outside, it's pretty comfortable to wear. The thing is practically waterproof. You basically have to jump in a lake to get wet wearing the thing. My only gripe about the coats is wind can penetrate the zipper and the updraft going up inside the jacket making me get chills, but that's what wearing a light hoodie under the jacket is for. lol. The upside is that the Carhartt coat is cost effective, and lasts a long time. A single Carhartt coat can last you up to and including 6 to maybe 10 years if the coat doesn't see a large amount of abuse, or if you gain a ton of weight and out grow it. My current Carhartt coat is from 2015(i would of had an even older coat until a guy stole mine at work) i believe and still has 90% of it's color left. I use it for everything: bad weather, rain, snow, hunting, and so on. It's just a great all around coat to have. If i had to rate it, it would be a 4.5 out of 5 stars MINIMUM!!! Go get one! You won't regret it!

I agree with the trinity, sir. The three are my top favorite materials. I use my dads old military bag and was impressed how water resistant the canvass is, though it was a bit worn and I had to fix the inner panels with bicycle tube cement to stop the fraying and some spray gorilla glue. My two leather trenchcoats soak through before it does. I sewn up the bottom where it started to open with dental floss. He died this janurary and I had decided to take better care of it and fix it. Got me thinking about a trenchcoat out of the stuff. I'm making a denim one out of some jeans and a vest and this video got me thinking it needs a duck liner.

I don't really use it for it's intended purpose as I've worked indoors for a good 15-20 years at this point.

They do indeed take some time to break in, but I have to replace them so rarely that it's not really an issue.

One thing that really irks me is when I go to the store and you have to hunt for jeans that are either dark blue full strength or full black jeans. everything seems to be "stone washed" or otherwise beat up. my advice is to demand the stiff dark ones and give them some wear time. when some jack assed fashion designer takes a belt sander to a new chunk of fabric, it just shortens the life of the garment. Make your own fashion statement and demand the "regular guy" look. On shirts demand pockets, even better with flaps.

Do people actually use shirt (as in real shirts, not shirt jackets) pockets? I find them too flimsy to hold anything except maybe a pen. Which I rarely need to carry on my shirt, but you may want to depending on your job I suppose. Most things I can put in my chinos/jeans, and if I'm going out with a couple more things, I find a field or safari jacket does the trick (in fact they have so many pockets I sometimes forget where I put my things...). I do however share your dismay for the overabundance of pre-distressed jeans. If you want a clean look, you don't get it, and if you want a lived-in rugged look, you don't even get that...you get a fake impression of that. However, I cannot fathom wearing 100% cotton stiff jeans with no stretch at all, but I guess I don't need them for actual manual labour either.

Duck has some sick fades. You just have to work hard at them. It definitely fades much different than denim.

good video! i didnt know anything about the different weaves before watching this. i have lost faith in carhartt honestly, and have never found their cloths to be as durable as people claim. i have worn out probably a dozen double front duck dungerees, I would certanly not call them bombproof, and when i say worn out i mean shreded. my favorite jacket for fit and function is the detroit jacket, but the pockets, duck fabric infront of the pockets, insulation and cuffs wear out so quickly its absurd, i have shreaded about 3 of these. that combined with the fact that i cannot find them locally (or the dungerees), are way too expensive now, and the last 2 pairs of dungerees i got the zippet came unstitched right away, ive given up on carhartt although ill buy a used carhartt coat if its a good price. i currently wear wrangler riggs carpenter jeans which are a 10oz ripstop cotton. they are well desined (even though i far prefer the dungerees leg pocket for knife and pemcil), have no stupid velcro, and so far have proven just as durable as carhartts 12oz duck even though they are noticably lighter..i like the lighter weight for summer as well. in winter i will either layer these or wear some baileys wild ass double front logger jeans. close to 15oz denim they are very durable and the price is right.

Hey Carl, I love your vids. Would you recommend a duck chore coat for warmer days? Maybe the early and late hrs in summer? My Aero jacket seemed to be limited by 20 degrees :-)

I ve had both I would pick dri-duck over Carhartt any day. Functional, tough and comfortable is world's ahead functional and tough. Comfort relates directly to fatigue, and your day will feel lees stressful in the dri-duck. Range of movement, and just typical movements will feel less labored because they are. It's the type of feel and performance people pay extra for, and I feel the fit performance, and quality far outmatch anyone in the same price range. Not just money well spent, but a value to take advantage of. You CAN'T do better in this price range.!

He couldn't understand or condone spending 700+ on boots when you can buy a quality pair of Red Wings for 300+. He was basically saying "is it _really_ worth the money?", you know?

It becomes less about function and more about appreciating the art of it. So with an example like MYG Handmade or Red Kloud, John Lofgren, or Role Club it’s about appreciating the art. Hand carved midsoles, hand welting, a true labor of love by an artisan which is all made just for you. I suppose that’s the best I can do to explain it, I hope that makes sense!

Just Subbed, I Just bought a pair of Carhartt DUCK ZIP-TO-THIGH BIB OVERALL/UNLINED R37's ...Whats your take on these?

I have never owned duck jeans, but the waterproof aspect sounds good for a British winter, although I get around by bike, so maybe too stiff?

I don't know if it is considered to be duck, but the Duluth fire hose pants(not the flex, I am not a fan of stretchy pants) last me about a year and a half before I wear through the knees but a pair of jeans generally only lasts me 3 months and is much easier to rip when I catch on something.

Hi Carl, I can't find the video you made a while ago about the La Compagnie Du Kraft Journal? I am trying to recreate one with my favorite SB Foot Tannery leather and wanted to see a few things from your video.

Another couple things about duck vs. denim. 1) I always found that my denim jeans were significantly weaker when they got wet. Denim jeans aren't as strong as the Carhartt duck at any time, but when they get wet they do really poorly. From what I've seen with my Carhartt duck pants, they take as much abuse soaking wet as they do dry. If you're out in the weather, going through streams, or otherwise getting your pants wet, that's a big difference. 2) Denim typically stretches and weakens, then pulls apart before it rips. It typically takes more to rip duck fabric than denim, but duck doesn't stretch out like that--once it hits the limit, it is more likely to tear. As for the B01s vs. most jeans, Carhartt has put some great thought into design also--the way the front pockets are sewn on are an example. Overdo it on the front pockets of a pair of Carhartts and they slowly tear at the sides, but it's barely noticeable and the pants are still usable. Do it to, say, a pair of the famous "L" brand blue jeans and it will likely rip right through the edge of the pocket and tear the whole front open (pretty much the end of the line for those jeans).

Is duck waterproof?

@RobStitt

2 жыл бұрын

​@@i5aiah Not really. However, Carhartt coats their duck with a water repellant finish that limits absorption initially. Kinda like "Scotchguard". For the first few wearings/dunkings, it will limit how much the duck soaks up. But, it only makes the water bead up when they are new. After that, it just keeps it from being a sponge for a few more events. And, after that (or a good washing), they'll soak up water about like denim. So, all in all, once you treat them like Carhartts are meant to be treated (roughed up, stained, dirty, worn, and torn), they aren't particularly water proof or repellant. The thing I've found about Carhartt duck fabric is that, even after all the water repellency has worn off, you can get them totally soaked--and they are still damned tough. Soaking wet, they will still take a lot of abuse without letting you down--whereas the denim jeans I've had really get MUCH weaker as soon as they get wet--they're way quicker to rip/tear, so you can be out doing something with a pair of jeans you get wet that's never been a worry when they were dry and riiiipppppp--they've got a huge rip in them--which hasn't ever been an issue with my Carhartt duck clothes. And, of course, once you rip/tear/get a hole in denim, it is prone to completely blow out pretty easily even if you're super careful. Unlike Carhartt duck clothes that can have a lot of rips, tears, and holes and they'll keep standing up to more heavy abuse (even direct snags in holes) without easily enlarging or blowing out. I think a lot of it has to do with the tightness of the weave in duck vs. denim and the seeming lesser strength in some of the blue thread in denim. They do make things that ARE designed to be waterproof in a more lasting manner, though--but those things aren't as resistant to sparks (they'll likely melt) nor will they likely take quite as much full-on abuse and rough treatment as 12 oz duck. Still, some of their heavy duty waterproof gear will sure stand up to a lot more than your typical fancy/lightweight waterproof gear (just know that even a small hole/rip/tear in waterproof gear will let a lot of water in). So, while nobody is likely to be too worried about putting rips and tears in a pair of duck Carhartts (they're meant to go places & do things that get them ripped, torn, and worn through, right?), doing that to even super tough waterproof gear may necessitate some repairs if you wanna stay dry.

NICE

Canvas > denim. I'm in windy Oklahoma and on cold or wet days, denim just doesn't cut it while canvas resists the elements well. I also work in a "business casual" office for my day job, and I dislike both slacks and denim jeans so I wear canvas carpenter pants every day. People may wonder why I have hammer loops on all of my pants but the colors I wear (common tan, various browns, forest green) can pseudo-mimic slacks/Dockers without being too casual like jeans are. I hate the fade of denim, it makes pants look worn out and dirty to me and I always felt like a hobo when in 6-month-old jeans that already permanently look like I use them as napkins. So about ten years ago I quit buying jeans altogether. And for the record, I don't own any Carhartt canvas; it's overpriced and as far as I'm concerned Carhartt doesn't deserve my money, given their ongoing anti-freedom edicts that they continue to inflict upon their workforce.

Duck with spandex woven in. To die for. It doesn’t always last quite as long as the 100% cotton stuff tho

duck material I find to be better 90 percent of the time on the job. very wind and water resistant, and lasts forever. one thing I have realized is that the double knee duck pants conduct cold alot more than denim and my legs get cold as shit in the morning walking out the door. denim wears way too fast for my liking in a work environment so I dont much care for it until I'm going for a look like after work or going out. not very cost efficient to spend 40 dollars on denim pants for them to look like shit within a month haha

The one thing I really wish Carhartt would do is put suspender buttons on their duck dubble fronts. They only do that for the denim pants.

Other than your pronunciation of "doek" (duke, not do-ek) this was an amazingly interesting video!

Hey, I have it a shot! My American tongue doesn’t twist that way. 😄

I like duck coveralls and coats but I prefer denim jeans

Damn I wasn't expecting to get roasted at the end. I have a denim jacket I dyed purple that I wear all the time with blue jeans.

Can you please make a review on the red wing 435

I love both duck and denim. Depends on where I am

Love the shirt. What is it?

Is there a difference between Duck Canvas and Dearborn Canvas? Carhartt do something called their Firm Duck Chore Coat but then all of their other Jackets are listed as '100% Organic Cotton 'Dearborn' Canvas'

What’s the shirt you’re wearing ? Very nice, great videos too 👏 thank you

Apologies I just got to that part in video 🙈 DOH

Looking for a wind & water resistant layer to wear over wool that is also quiet like wool. Does anybody know which fabric(s) are most wind/water resistant or at least much better than thick wool outerwear (like 26oz woven wool). So far conidering moleskin, canvas & denim. Thanks!

Duct tape should refer to the metallic ducting tape, and duck tape should refer to the tape originally made out of cotton duck and tar, with a water resistant side like a duck's belly.

Duck or demin? As long as you're not going to a Turbonegro gig - i think the question is just like "axe or hammer" - both are great and have their purpose and moments.

so what is the difference between duck cloth and tin cloth
