FAQs
Does this jacket fit true to size?
The OG Detroit Jacket features an original loose fit, meaning it is designed to be boxy and roomy. If you prefer a more tailored or slim look, you may want to size down.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The jacket is ideal for spring, autumn, or mild winter days. Because it is uninsulated, it relies on your ability to layer hoodies or knitwear underneath for extra warmth.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is highly recommended to air dry the jacket. High heat can cause the cotton to shrink and potentially ruin the corduroy collar texture.
What does 'rinsed' finish mean?
A rinsed finish indicates the garment was washed during production to soften the fabric and provide a comfortable, broken-in feel from the first wear.
Is the corduroy collar durable?
Yes, but like all corduroy, it requires gentle cleaning. Avoid scrubbing the collar surface harshly to keep the corduroy looking new.
Does the zipper work from both ends?
Yes, the jacket features a two-way zipper, allowing you to open it from either the top or the bottom.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches during use
Rub a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of clear wax along the teeth to lubricate the mechanism.
Fabric color looks dull after many washes
Wash the jacket inside out using a detergent formulated for dark or colored fabrics to minimize fading.
Corduroy collar looks flattened
Use a fabric steamer or a soft brush to gently lift the pile of the corduroy while the garment is hanging.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile layering capability due to the loose fit
- High-quality, durable cotton construction
- Convenient two-way zipper allows for adjustable venting and comfort
- Classic workwear aesthetic that ages well
- Smooth sleeve lining makes it easy to slide on over knitwear
Cons
- The oversized 'OG' cut may run larger than standard contemporary jackets
- Cotton material is not inherently waterproof or windproof
- Requires careful laundering to maintain the integrity of the corduroy and fabric
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a heritage-style garment, the care you provide will dictate its lifespan. The jacket arrives with a rinsed finish, meaning it is ready to wear immediately without the need for an initial 'break-in' period.
Care Instructions:
- Always check the internal garment tag for specific wash temperatures; generally, cold wash is recommended to prevent color fading.
- Avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as this can shrink the cotton fabric and damage the delicate corduroy collar.
- Hang drying in the shade is the best method to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the color intensity.
- If the corduroy collar collects dust or lint, use a soft-bristled garment brush to gently clean the texture without damaging the pile.
