Carhartt is an icon in the trades for their comfort, protection, and durability. I have a number of carhartt workwear items; some of which I have had over 20 years and are still in use. I was pleasantly surprised upon receiving these new bibs and reading the tag which stated they were made in the USA! I have no idea how I got a pair made here, but I did. Since every Carhartt item I have bought in the last 6 or so years was outsourced; mostly made in mexico. Being a union worker I try to buy American. I gave them a 4 due to the fact the zipper on the leg has no snaps and has a tendancy to walk itself up an inch or so; causing the cuff to touch the ground or floor. I have other bibs which have the zipper leg and they all have snaps to keep this from occuring! Next time I will look a little closer! Still Carhartt quality and should last me for some time. Just remember to never wash them in hot water as they will shrink on you and use a low heat in the dryer. I made that mistake some years ago and ruined some expensive coveralls.
