Full details
The Carhartt WIP Madison Ripstop Jacket is designed for adults seeking a blend of rugged workwear durability and contemporary urban style. Constructed from garment-dyed cotton ripstop, this jacket provides a reliable outer layer for everyday use, featuring a refined corduroy collar and comfortable taffeta-lined sleeves. While its midweight fabric offers excellent versatility across seasons, users should note that the garment-dyeing process requires specific care to maintain the depth of the black color over time.

FAQs
Is the jacket waterproof?
The Madison Ripstop Jacket is water-resistant due to its dense cotton weave, but it is not intended to be a fully waterproof raincoat.
How should I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard adult sizing. If you prefer a loose, relaxed fit for layering, we recommend sizing up from your usual size.
Can I iron this jacket?
Yes, but use a cool iron setting and consider ironing the garment inside out to protect the surface texture and color.
What does garment-dyed mean?
Garment-dyed refers to the process of dyeing the jacket after it has been fully sewn, which results in a softer hand-feel and unique, slightly varied color depth.
Is the collar made of the same material as the body?
No, the collar is crafted from corduroy, which provides a contrasting texture to the rugged ripstop body.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness of the fabric after initial wash
This is common with ripstop cotton; using a gentle fabric softener or tumble drying on a very low heat setting for a short duration can help restore softness.
Fading of the black dye
Ensure the jacket is turned inside out during every wash and use detergent specifically formulated for dark fabrics.
