FAQs
Is the jacket true to size?
The Carhartt WIP OG Detroit Jacket generally fits true to size. Refer to standard size charts, but note that the 'OG' fit is typically slightly roomier than slim-fit alternatives.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it is machine washable. However, always wash in cold water with similar colors and hang to dry to avoid shrinkage and color fading.
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is crafted from heavy-duty cotton and provides moderate protection against wind and light elements, but it is not marketed as a technical waterproof garment.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Store it on a wide, sturdy hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders. Avoid folding it for long periods to prevent permanent creasing.
Is this suitable for freezing temperatures?
It serves as an excellent layering piece, but for extreme freezing temperatures, it should be worn over appropriate thermal base layers or mid-layers.
Troubleshooting
The fabric feels too stiff upon purchase.
This is normal for heavy-duty cotton. Frequent wear and a few washes will naturally break in the fibers, making the jacket more flexible.
Visible lint or dust accumulation on the black fabric.
Use a standard garment lint roller to maintain the clean, deep black appearance of the cotton exterior.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, follow these maintenance guidelines:
