I feel kind of sorry for the retailers who are now stuck with Carhartt stuff that won't sell, but otherwise I agree with the boycott and I hope Carhartt feels the pain.
I don’t know the specifics: When retailers can’t sell their merchandise they send it to stores like TJ Maxx, Marshals, Home Goods, Ross, Gabe’s or Gabriel’s (depending on what region of USA), Burkes, Burlington Coat Outtel, etc.
More than likely they get a tax break on items they don’t sell & send those items to these types of stores. They might not be making the outrageous
60-90% retail markup but I doubt they are loosing money. The markups on retail, especially clothes is ridiculous! If it wasn’t for the stores I listed I would be paying full retail. At those reduced prices it’s still too much!
I don’t feel sorry for large corporations and especially clothing companies. They are making billions while people in other countries work in poor conditions making very little money.

...personally, I find "boycotts" boorish...
...like you stated, the little guys are the ones that get trampled underfoot....
