I remember when Champion was a inexpensive budget make that you would only come across at Walmart. Then they disappeared for a while simply to come back recently every bit a trendy brand that hip kids and rappers vesture.

Used to have a Champion Outlet store that sold zilch but vesture with mistakes. You'd see Denver Bengals instead of Broncos. Sleeves that were short on one side and longer on the other. Absolutely weird color combinations. Oasis't seen a Champion logo in more than 20 years.

What I really dont get is that Carhartt is fucking trendy and hip.

Carhartt are essentially two brands. Carhartt that makes workwear and Carhartt WIP that is aimed at the streetwear market. Carhartt WIP does basics incredibly well and everything is good quality. Yous tin't go incorrect with them.

Is it like one of the brands thats trendy for non existence stylish? Cuz near of them stuff looks pretty banal and generic? I also don't find the logo particularly appealing.
