I Bought Some Overalls, This Is My Story - Gardenfork Radio Podcast
My deep research into buying used Carhartt, new Dickies, and Carhartt Renewed overalls. There are sites like Depop.com, (kinda like a trendy Ebay for used clothing) where you can buy used work gear, because work gear is the new cupcake with 20 yr olds. I went all over this site, the Carhartt Renewed site, and others to see what was the best place - IMO - to buy new, factory seconds, or slightly used work clothes. Listen Here
BTW the new Dickies overalls I ordered arrived yesterday, and they are quite good for the price. Dickies doesn't have a "renewed" site like Carhartt.
Amazon has them on a limited time sale for 25% off, ($33 for my size) Link Here
