Carhartt look alikes?

[Maria's Little Stitches]

Hard to believe that we're looking for jackets when it's 100deg here in California, but am looking for decent substitutes for Carhartt jackets.

I understand that Point Authority (Sanmar) are good for these but am wondering if there are others that may be construction quality without the high price?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

www.ssactivewear.com Check out their Dri Duck line, very nice although not quite carhartt they are great work jackets.

You might check Charles River Apparel. They have several styles in workwear...just depends on what style you're looking for.

I use nothing but the Sanmar Port jackets (port authority, etc. is nothing but the Sanmar 'house brand')
The jackets RETAIL for $30-40 LESS than same thing in Carhartt,
and have the hidden zippers just for embroidery.
Also don't have that dang center zipper going down the back and the material is not as 'stiff'.
I converted several contractors from Carhartt to Sanmar just on the price-and they've been using the jackets for several years now.
Up here in New Hampshire you really need a heavy durable jacket!
And now available in 3 colors and up to 6XL.
Outfitted an entire family-friends of ours-because they needed all new 'barn jackets' and embroidered bale of hay, pitchfork with 'road apples' and made up a name for their little 'farm' and gave each one of the kids an official 'job title'. Big hit at christmas.

A also sell Carhartts year round. But I have several customers that wear the Port Authority.
I also really like Dri-Duck and Berne offers wonderful quality at a great price, plus many styles for both children and ladies! Major selling point for Berne.

Can anyone suggest where to purchase the Carhartt jackets wholesale?
I have a customer that insists on the brand name.
Thank you.
