"Eight ꦐhundred of the jackets were given to 'taste makers and people seen in
all the right places,' said Mon🌳ica Lynch, t👍he president of Tommy Boy. 'It
took off immediately.' And then Tommy Boy started its own c🍎lothing line. WHY
NOW: After building a reputation literally on the ba🔴ckꦓs of oil riggers and
'gangsta' rappers, Carhartt jackets are increasingly turning up i༒n places
like Barneys New York and fashion runways." ("THING; The Carhartt Jacket", NYT).
