American vs European workwear is a whole different animal.
In this video, I compare American workwear vs European workwear to see what actually works in the real world. From rugged, simple American gear like Carhartt and duck canvas workwear to European brands like Snickers, Blåkläder, and Engelbert Strauss with holster pockets, kneepad systems, and high-vis options, there are some major differences in how each side approaches the job.
I break down the pros, the cons, what feels practical, what feels overbuilt, and which stuff actually makes sense on a real jobsite.
Brands and styles discussed include:
Carhartt
Dickies
Snickers Workwear
Blåkläder
Engelbert Strauss
1620 Workwear
Thorogood
and more
If you’ve ever wondered why European work pants look so busy, or whether American workwear is too basic by comparison, this one’s for you.
