Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket

To deliver uncompromising weather defense and classic workwear utility, the Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket in Black/Black Rigid is constructed from heavy duty 12oz Dearborn canvas. Designed to solve the issue of flimsy outerwear wearing out prematurely under tough conditions, this unlined jacket utilises a stiff rigid weave that breaks in over time to create a personalised fit. Featuring a contrasting corduroy collar, a gold tone zip closure, zipped chest storage, and adjustable cuffs and hem, it provides long lasting thermal insulation, storm defense, and rugged daily durability.

• Layering over heavy cotton t-shirts, crewneck sweatshirts, or flannel shirts as temperatures dip.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• The brand notes that this garment is cut for a boxy, slightly cropped fit that sits on the hip.
• Carhartt WIP advises to select your standard jacket size for a tailored silhouette, or size up if you plan to layer thick hoodies underneath.
• Bi-swing back pleats provide unrestricted shoulder movement while bending or reaching.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold at 30 degrees inside out with similar dark garments.
• Do not dry clean or use industrial bleach, as harsh chemicals break down natural cotton canvas fibres.

• Warm iron on reverse side if needed, keeping clear of metal zips and snaps.
