Here at Tom’s Guide, we’re vetting the best Black Friday deals live. As much as everyone loves grabbing the best deals on OLED TVs, iPhones, and premium cookware, at heart, I'm a fashion girlie.

Carhartt is one of those aforementioned favorite clothing brands. I love the utilitarian workman style, and if you want to call me a poser, yeah, I can’t defend myself there. Even though most of my “getting my hands dirty” consists of hiking or assembling IKEA furniture, I still love Carhartt gear.

So excuse my happiness when I found two graphic hoodies and a pair of women's overalls marked down almost half price. Unfortunately there's no discounted work pants or beanie hats (which was what I was holding out for), but a pair of work boots for under $100 is still pretty good going. I’m going to recommend the Rugged Flex boots to my boyfriend next time he needs a new pair of rugged work boots.

Carhartt Frontier Water Resistant Chelsea Boot

Carhartt is probably most known for its workwear, so its water resistant boots are a great place to start if you’re looking for trendy yet hard-wearing gear. The Carhartt proprietary FastDry lining wicks sweat all day long, and the outer leather has Carhartt’s ‘rain defender’ technology to keep you dry.

Carhartt Rugged Flex Waterproof Composite Toe Work Boot

The Rugged Flex boots are designed to protect the wearer from various weather conditions, ranging from wet to dry. Their heel and toe reinforcements support your feet on uneven terrain to help you boss your work day. I love that these boots have a foam cushion on the inside sole to ensure maximum comfort throughout the day.

Designed for hard outdoor work in wet weather, these boots are durable and have an alloy toe cap made from blended metal. They’re designed to wick your sweat from the inside out without letting in any rain. What’s best is these work boots are available in both M and W (average and wide) fits and all sizes still.
