Carhartt Store

Since there’s no Carhartt stores in California, this trip to the Carhartt was a must for me. For the life of me, I couldn’t find the store but thankfully my sister calmed me down and we were able to find the store. I got myself a car-​luxe hooded thermo sweatshirt and I just loved it. It’s so warm inside the jacket.
You see, my husband’s request was for me to get anything Carhartt that you could only get in Europe. He missed the chance to get something in the store while we were in Madrid because the store was closing. But Voila! I got him this really cool dark green waterproof jacket and when I gave it to him, he just loved it. Up to this day, people would still ask him where he got the jacket.
The jackets/​sweatshirts were pretty pricey but then again it’s in England. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even helped me with my VAT (value added tax) refund form so don’t forget to ask if your purchase qualify.

I went in here recently and wasnt too impressed the reason being was the service. I was really ready to buy some jeans and the attitude and lack of interest I got form the staff made me do a quick u-​turn. Why do they people think its cool to be rude and disinterested in customers? Carhartts clothing has changed a lot and their famous baggy cargo jeans with tool loops on the sides seem to be extinct in favour of nasty skinny jeans which are warn ‘low’. I really thought that even though the fashion is how it is, they would keep a few trademark pieces like their cargo jeans as there are people out there, like me, who dont want to wear jeans halfway down their backside. The tops and jumpers were alright though, good colours etc but carhartt jeans used to be lovely, not anymore. I need to check out their sale shop in hackney to see if there are any cargo pants left on the shelf!!!
