For many years Carhartt had two weights for their sweatshirts, midweight and heavyweight. These two weights were loved by customers for not only their warmth but the durability that the sweatshirts would deliver to the customer. A few years ago Carhartt rolled out a few different thermal-line sweatshirts and retailers had a tough time keeping them on their racks. Word got out very quickly about a sweatshirt that was almost as warm as a coat. Could they figure out yet another warmer solution for sweatshirt fans? No one knows for sure, but lets figure out the applications for the other three weights for now.
Carhartt's midweight sweatshirts come in a few different options of having a hood or not and also being a zip-front or not. With a 10.5-ounce cotton/polyester blend this sweatshirt delivers a good deal of warmth. Many times this sweatshirt will keep you warmer than many other competing brands warmest sweatshirt. This is a great sweatshirt if you are looking for something to cut the morning chill or extra warmth as the sun sets in the evening. With the options and the many different color choices offered, most customers are likely to find a combination that matches their wants.
The next warmer weight that Carhartt offers in its sweatshirt line is the heavyweight. A 13-ounce cotton/polyester blend excellence warmth. These sweatshirts only currently come in a hooded version with a zip-front or a non-zip front. With this being the warmest sweatshirt being offered for awhile, many guys have mentioned that this is their favorite non-work sweatshirt, but if it wasn't for the thermal-lined they would still be wearing this one. This sweatshirt along with all the others have a wide variety of color choices with many of them coming in a tall version. This extra length in the torso and arms allows taller workers to keep the sweatshirt from rising up their arms or stomachs.
Carhartt's very warm, almost as warm as a jacket, thermal-lined sweatshirt is definitely another rough and durable product. Constructed out of a 12-ounce cotton/poly blend it features a polyester thermal lining that retains the warmth. Recently a customer came in looking for another after wearing his for four years and it was finally looking worn out. He said it was still warm and he'd continue to wear it but not at work wear co-workers were giving him grief about it. Many people are seen wearing these with a pair of lined coveralls for their cold weather outfit. If there is any sweatshirt out there that could keep you warm in below-freezing temperatures, you should place your money on this one. Carhartt probably had a tough time deciding if this should be considered a sweatshirt or a jacket with the warmth it delivers. This sweatshirt only comes in zip-front and with a hood.
Many people will argue with you if you don't believe that their sweatshirts are the best ones on the market. As they continue to innovate with different styles (mock, quarter-zip, etc.) they hold the three weights of warmth very consistent. This consistency is what built them to the company they are today and allow their brand to proudly represent quality and durable work clothing.
