FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a cold setting. We recommend hanging it to dry to avoid damage to the insulation and the outer fabric.

Does the hood provide good coverage?

The hood is designed with a draw-cord adjustment that allows you to tighten it around your face, providing excellent protection from wind and cold.

What is the primary difference between this and a lighter jacket?

The Active Jacket uses 12 oz Dearborn Canvas and 3M Thinsulate, making it much warmer and more abrasion-resistant than standard lifestyle windbreakers.

Can I wear this in the rain?

The jacket features a water-repellent finish, meaning it will shed light rain and snow. It is not, however, fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

How should I choose my size?

The jacket follows standard sizing for a relaxed workwear fit. If you prefer a slim fit, you may want to consider sizing down, though most prefer the standard size for layering room.

Troubleshooting

The canvas material feels stiff or rigid

The Dearborn Canvas is a heavy-weight fabric; it will soften significantly with regular wear and natural movement over time.

Water repellency is fading

Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. You can re-apply a fabric-safe water-repellent spray specifically designed for cotton canvas garments.

Zipper feels difficult to operate

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. If it remains tight, rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil along the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable construction suitable for heavy-duty use
  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio thanks to 3M Thinsulate
  • Classic workwear aesthetic that is highly versatile
  • Water-repellent finish protects against unexpected weather

Cons

  • Canvas material requires a break-in period to soften
  • Less flexibility compared to synthetic technical jackets
  • The heavy-duty weight may be too warm for mild autumn days

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity of your Carhartt WIP Active Jacket, it is recommended to follow professional cleaning methods. Given the 12 oz canvas construction, the jacket is designed for longevity rather than frequent washing. Spot clean the outer canvas whenever possible using a damp cloth and mild detergent. If a full wash is necessary, machine wash on a cold cycle with like colors and hang to dry to preserve the integrity of the insulation and the water-repellent finish. Avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as this can cause shrinkage and break down the internal fibers. For layering, the jacket is cut with a standard fit, so consider your typical sizing; if you plan to wear very thick layers underneath, some users prefer to stick to their standard size due to the jacket's generous, functional cut.
