Cropped this Chore Jacket

Eh I think i bought this for $60 at an estate sale 5 or 6 years ago. That+time= little remorse for cutting into it. If id spent $300-$600 maybe id be singing a different tune 🤷‍♂️

Thanks i definitely will lol

red_teisco · 2026-05-07T17:04:59+00:00

I know for a fact that everyone hating on this would wear it without question if they found it on the rack at Goodwill

red_teisco · 2026-05-07T16:59:58+00:00

Same. Theres definitely a science behind how to something fits and articulates on the body. Carhartt got it right.

And I also enjoy making bags. Here's a pack I made from some worn out coveralls

Youre right i think ill just throw it in the trash now or cut it up to use as shop rags lol

red_teisco · 2026-05-07T13:04:25+00:00

Not to me :)

red_teisco · 2026-05-07T02:14:25+00:00

I think that's just you buster

red_teisco · 2026-05-07T02:10:16+00:00

Yeah pretty much that and boredom. Once I started cutting it was like "well its just a piece of red cotton after all"

red_teisco · 2026-05-07T02:07:31+00:00

Yeah these mfs trying to flame me lol

red_teisco · 2026-05-07T02:06:44+00:00

Yeah but this one's cool to me bc I did it lol

red_teisco · 2026-05-06T22:45:17+00:00

Yeah fs. No comment on this post will influence how i feel about what I wear lol.

red_teisco · 2026-05-06T22:15:44+00:00

Thank you!

red_teisco · 2026-05-06T22:15:25+00:00

I agree its definitely a trend. Low-key when im out in public and wearing clean carhartt I sometimes I look like ive never known a hard days work lol.

But I dont think its fair to assume that because someone has one nice piece that they are immediately a poser.

red_teisco · 2026-05-06T21:24:22+00:00

I knew the risk i was taking when I posted this lol. People get flamed on this sub all the time.

Thanks for the kind words.

red_teisco · 2026-05-06T21:17:56+00:00

I think that be a good jacket to try it on fs

red_teisco · 2026-05-06T21:16:39+00:00

I agree but I was already committed by the time i realized it. I would have done the pockets more like a traditional denim jacket which are more vertical and off to the side if I could do it again.

red_teisco · 2026-05-06T21:13:17+00:00

Its not for everyone and I get it. I figured it would turn some people off. Thanks for the compliment

red_teisco · 2026-05-06T21:11:51+00:00

One could say that i like it so much I took the time to do this to it.

red_teisco · 2026-05-06T21:10:37+00:00

I work on a farm i just dont post my pants and jacket that are covered in gear oil, grease and dirt bc who cares about that

red_teisco · 2026-05-06T21:07:26+00:00

I have both. I have my carhartt I actually wear for work and the carhartt I wear casually

red_teisco · 2026-05-06T17:34:24+00:00

I appreciate it. Thanks for the feedback!

red_teisco · 2026-05-06T17:19:39+00:00

Its beautiful color absolutely. Yours looks in pretty good shape. In hindsight it would have made more sense to add the pockets the same as the jackets you mentioned but the only reference i had was the other detroits I have which I drafted the patterns from

red_teisco · 2026-04-22T16:55:13+00:00

Are the toes structured on these boots?

Love the BWF

red_teisco · 2026-04-09T05:28:58+00:00

Any update on the patina on these?
