Product Information
Full details
The Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket is a versatile, durable workwear-inspired piece designed for adults who prioritize functional style and longevity in their daily wardrobe. Crafted from robust Dearborn Canvas, this unlined jacket excels in transitional weather by providing excellent wind resistance while maintaining breathability. While its rugged construction ensures it stands the test of time, potential buyers should note that the fabric is stiff initially and requires a breaking-in period to reach maximum comfort.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Dearborn Canvas is durable and wind-resistant but is not treated to be fully waterproof.
Is the jacket lined?
No, this specific Detroit Jacket model is unlined, making it lighter and more suitable for transitional weather.
How should I choose my size?
The jacket typically runs true to size. If you prefer to wear thick hoodies underneath, some users prefer sizing up.
Can I wash the jacket in a machine?
Yes, machine wash on cold and hang to dry to preserve the shape and fabric quality.
Will the brown color fade?
Like most heavy-duty cottons, the color may develop a unique 'patina' over time with frequent washing and sun exposure, which is part of the jacket's aesthetic.
What is Dearborn Canvas?
Dearborn Canvas is Carhartt's signature, high-density cotton canvas known for its exceptional strength and durability.
Troubleshooting
The jacket feels too stiff or rigid.
The Dearborn Canvas requires a break-in period. Regular wear will naturally soften the fabric. You can also wash it cold and hang dry to speed up the softening process.
Zipper is catching or difficult to pull.
Ensure the fabric surrounding the zipper is not caught in the teeth. You can apply a tiny amount of beeswax or graphite to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.
Buttons feel loose after significant use.
Periodically check the snap buttons at the cuffs and hem. If they become loose, ensure the metal housing is clear of debris or dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this jacket is made of high-quality cotton canvas, proper care is essential to maintain the fabric’s integrity. We recommend spot cleaning whenever possible to avoid unnecessary wear on the canvas weave. If a full wash is required, use a cold, gentle cycle and hang dry the garment to prevent shrinkage and protect the structural integrity of the seams. Avoid tumble drying on high heat. Regarding compatibility, the jacket has a classic fit; if you plan on layering heavy sweaters underneath, consider how the jacket sits at the shoulders, as the material does not offer much stretch.
