It’s pretty fucking hard not to shop at near monopolies when they have a near monopoly and buying from the manufacturer costs an extra 50% because of the extra shipping. Not many products, even brand name one, are high enough quality anymore to justify that. In fact, Carhartt is a prime example of that; for example, they stopped making their shirts out of cotton and make them out almost entirely out of trash-grade scratchy polyester now.
And I explained why that “refutation” is horseshit. If you expect a nation full of people who can barely make ends meet to pay more for the same product and worse service, you need to compensate them for the cost difference. If you’re not willing to do that, shut the fuck up.

I already refuted your “buying from manfacturer” bullshit with carhartt.com. Go peddle your boot licking elsewhere.

You explained nothing, but apparently you enjoy the taste of shoe leather.
