Behind The Minds Ep.2 – Heir
Here we get insight on Carrie Dickey and the Dickey Bub Farm and Home company.
Dickey: What is your role here at Dickey Bub Farm and Home? Carrie: My specific title is general manager, but I take care of managing 75 awesome employees and merchandise buyer. Dickey: When did you get involved with Dickey Bub? Carrie: Ever since I was a little kid I worked for Dickey Bub shop helping my grandfather and grandmother through the busy seasons. After college (studying psychology) I asked my dad, Steve Dickey, if I could work at Dickey Bub so that I could go back and get my masters. Turns out I liked it so much that I stayed and became general manager in 2006. Dickey: Tell us briefly about Dickey Bub Farm and Home. Carrie: It is a store that offers one-stop shopping, whether you have a lot of acres on a farm or an apartment we have your DIY supplies and cater to your lifestyle. Dickey: What big goal(s) are you (Dickey Bub) currently working toward?
Today we are looking at the Carhartt Acrylic Watch Hat (A18). This is personally one of my favorite products on the site. It has a wide array of color selections and one size fits all. This acrylic watch hat is made of stretchable, 100% acrylic rib-knit fabric for warmth and comfort. This hat is also very durable and in my opinion is very stylish. You can’t go wrong for the price of this cap.
“You’ve all seen this hat. It’s strong, stylish, and warm. It’s got the Carhartt name! You just cannot go wrong! It’s cheap and was delivered right on time!” -Mack
The Web Designers of DickeyBub.net are at it again, with a entirely new project. Since the beginning of the week Brandon and Matthew have been designing a cart to put a camera on for a smooth shot. Their little do it yourself project has proven to be a success. At the start of the week they were just two men working on a website, and by the end of the week they had designed a completely functional camera track dolly. With this dolly they will be able to take a clear and smooth shot for upcoming videos this year.
The dolly consists of a board of plywood with mounted roller skate wheels on the bottom, to roll on PVC track. The camera then will sit upon the top of the tripod, that is located on the top of the mounted board. With this smooth shot they will be able to create a high quality commercial for DickeyBub.net. Don’t forget to check out upcoming videos at DickeyBub.net. For a full step by step on how to build a camera dolly check out http://matthewcampbell.me/?p=264
Today we are looking at the Carhartt Men’s Canvas Shirt Jacket – Flannel Lined (S296). This 100% cotton shirt jacket is perfect for spring and fall. The look great for work, at home, and even at a casual dinner. Another great thing about this shirt jacket is the perfect balance between comfort and durability. This shirt jacket also comes in a wide range of colors and sizes, but from experience this Carhartt shirt jacket runs a little big so make sure you order accordingly.
“Great fit, made with quality like all Carhartt clothing. Everything about this shirt is what I had expected,This shirt will not be my first Carhartt. Great for light winter wear….” -Kiva Vitch

Today we look at the Carhartt Washed-Denim Work Dungaree. First thing I noticed about these jeans was the classic style, a simple pair of jeans that get the job done. A few key features are: hammer loop on the side, multiple tool and utility pockets and reinforced back pockets. More in detail: The right leg pocket is perfect for a averaged sized smart-phone, left leg pocket is quite narrow and deep (perfect for a small flashlight), and the main pockets are deep & NOT denim all the way down. Another great thing about these jeans is the wide leg that fits over work boots, great for the workplace. These jeans are made with a little bit thinner fabric than other Carhartt jeans, which does affect the durability. Also the Carhartt Washed-Denim Work Dungarees come in a wide range of sizes. Also these jeans have a relaxed fuller fit so if you like your jeans tight these are not for you.
“It’s Carhartt. It’s Great. …if you’ve never tried Carhartt, do so. Loose fit for working, high quality for value. Outside the U.S., it’s a fashion brand, too.” -Douglas Banik
Here we get a close look at what the developers of DickeyBub.net experienced throughout the building phase.
Dickey: When did you begin working on DickeyBub.net? Brandon: Around the middle of May. Dickey: What was the inspiration for the layout and design of the new site? Matthew: Well, when looking at the old website a few key design flaws were noticed right off the bat. The old site didn’t have the “Dickey Bub” feel. So, in the development of the new website we went for the classic Dickey Bub look with elements of new innovated website techniques. Dickey: What is your favorite feature of the new site? Brandon: My favorite feature is the overall security of the buying process. Matthew: The product slider and easy access buttons on the homepage. This allows every customer, local or international, to get exactly where they need to be. Dickey: Is there anything on the old site that you miss?
