Proposed Changes to Carhartt Page
Hi, my name is Erica Salomon and I'm the PR manager at Carhartt. I wanted to reach out with some proposed changes to our page as they are anecdotal and presented as fact and I know Wikipedia prides itself on factual accuracy. The first instance is the paragraph below. Steven Rapiel is not a Carhartt employee as he left the company more than 20 years ago. We believe this to be his opinion and it is not substantiated by data. Can we have this section removed? In the 1990s, Carhartt jackets achieved popularity with crack dealers. "They needed to keep warm and they needed to carry a lot of stuff," said Steven J. Rapiel, the New York City salesman for Carhartt. "Then the kids saw these guys on the street, and it became the hip thing to wear."[3] The second instance of anecdote presented as fact is below: Carhartt's Mexican plants are "unionized" in the sense that they have a union registered on paper with the Mexican labor authorities but they run their operations like they were non-unionized plants. This is simply not true. All of our facilities, whether they are located here in the U.S. or in Mexico, are unionized and are run in accordance with union guidelines and government regulations. Thanks so much for your consideration. We really appreciate it! Esalomon48073 (talk) 15:05, 18 September 2015 (UTC)Erica Salomon Carhartt PR esalomon@carhartt.com

Where does Carhartt source their 'current' inventory?
In which countries are Carhartt products made today, and by what percentage? I think it would be relevant to convey to readers in the beginning of the article where today's Carhartt products are made. Carhartt has an extensive supplier list on their Corporate Responsibility page. I'm having trouble researching verified information on what % of products are made domestically vs. % elsewhere. I understand Carhartt has factories in Mexico, USA, and partners in a variety of other countries. 38.89.128.222 (talk) 00:42, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
