Why this niche works

Durable garment ages well, buyers prefer a three-year-worn piece over new.
Carhartt WIP and Carhartt USA target distinct audiences, double market on same brand.
Cross-generational demand: students, tradespeople and Japanese collectors hunt the same pieces.

How to source

Rural car boot sales, farmers sell genuine work vests at 10 EUR each.
American secondhand stores via direct import, 25 EUR per kilo basket reselling at 80 EUR average.
Retired tradesperson lots on Facebook Marketplace, Double Knee pants regularly discounted.

Signals to avoid

Paint stains and pocket tears: Carhartt accepts wear but not textile staining.
Dickies mislabeled as Carhartt: verify leather patch sewn, not printed.
