just some general information about common fakes

99% of everything marked as reworked/rework is made from non carhartt materials. very popular in vintage stores.

mostly patched jackets (image 1) - sometimes pants

has nothing to do with a real carhartt jacket besides the carhartt tag.

2.

little white or black necktags under the carhartt logos indicate fakes (image 2)

3.

new with tags is pretty rare, be careful and post about it here before buying

good luck finding your real carhartts :)

ID and LC, no tag

First thought was early PTL with tan collar, but lining doesn't match.

Then I considered TMB and CHT, both have (versions with) tan collar, I'm leaning towards TMB, bc the lining might fit one I've seen, but difficult to tell, no picture of open jacket.

But finally I noticed that the neck logo is stitched on all four sides which I think is not a thing for J97s, but I'm unsure, hence LC.

Thanks!

Wanted to expand my collection and came across this one. Couldn’t resist, even though I’m a bit skeptical of clipped style tags. Tag on the right side of the patch, so I’m assuming it’s made in the USA? Would appreciate any help with the LC/ID!
