Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket

The Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket in Shale/Shale (Stone Canvas) is an unlined, robust outer layer made from 12 oz "Dearborn" organic cotton canvas. The fabric has been stone-washed to achieve a softened, lived-in handle without sacrificing the legendary durability that defines the brand's workwear heritage. Featuring a classic cropped fit, tonal detailing, and signature triple-stitch reinforcement, it serves as a sturdy transitional staple that develops a unique character and patina over time.

Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket Key Features

• Constructed from 100% organic cotton "Dearborn" canvas for maximum abrasion resistance and a premium feel.
• Engineered with an unlined, no-padding interior, making it the ideal weight for seasonal layering.
• Features a slightly cropped silhouette for a modern, boxy profile that sits perfectly at the waist.
• Equipped with triple-stitch detailing and bartack reinforcements at vital stress points for lifelong durability.
• Includes a tactile corduroy collar and a signature gold-tone zip closure for a classic workwear aesthetic.

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Daily wear for individuals who appreciate the "built-to-last" quality of authentic 12 oz heavy-duty canvas.
• Building a high-quality workwear rotation focused on sustainable materials and heritage silhouettes.
• Transitional weather where the unlined construction provides essential wind protection without the bulk of heavy insulation.
  

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This jacket features a slightly cropped, boxy fit; it is designed to sit shorter on the body than a standard parka or windbreaker.
• The 12 oz Dearborn Canvas provides a structured drape that softens and develops a unique patina with age.
• The adjustable hem and cuffs allow you to cinch the waist for a more "tucked" look or leave them loose for a relaxed profile.
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size to benefit from the intended classic Detroit fit.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash at up to 40°C with similar earthy colours to maintain the Shale tone and canvas integrity.
• Hang the jacket to dry naturally whenever possible; air-drying preserves the organic cotton fibres and prevents excessive shrinkage.
• Tumble dry at a maximum of 60°C if necessary, though air-drying is recommended for maximum longevity.
• Iron at temperatures up to 200°C to restore the crisp, clean finish of the canvas after washing.
• Wash the garment inside out to protect the gold-tone hardware and the woven Square Label.

Our Detroit Jacket FAQs

1. Is this jacket warm?
   As an unlined version (no padding), it is a lightweight-to-midweight shell. It is perfect for spring and autumn, or for layering over a hoodie in winter.

2. What is "Dearborn Canvas"?
   It is Carhartt WIP's signature heavyweight cotton fabric, known for being incredibly tough and water-repellent while becoming more comfortable over time.

3. Is the "Shale" colour dark?
   Shale is a sophisticated, muted tone that sits between grey and a soft olive, offering a neutral look that is less harsh than standard black.

4. Does it shrink?
   Because it is garment-washed (stone canvas), most of the initial shrinkage has been removed, but we still recommend following the 40°C wash guide.
