As near as we could tell the difference is the treatment of the
fabric to make it weatherproof. Friend of mine had me do new Sanmar
jackets 2 christmas's ago for her hubby and kids and herself-they
have a couple horses and take care of a farm they are buying so it
was a 'joke' to have matching jackets made up for 'manure
specialists'. Her husband had a carhartt jacket that was several
years old and had been washed a lot. No difference between them. New,
yes the Carharts feel heavier or thicker.
My commercial accounts had been using carharts and brought in the
first ones until I gave him a sample of the sanmar to try. They fit
better, are a little 'longer', and just at 'retail' price he saved
over $30 per jacket.
His rigging crew has had them for almost 2 years now and he's coming
in to order all new ones-changing the name of the company and new
logo. Not even a thought to go back to Carharts.
Only problem we've encountered-we left a smaller black one in the
front window almost a year as a sample-the black faded in the sun to
washed darkish gray....can't do that again!
