Full details

FAQs
What is Dearborn canvas?
Dearborn canvas is a durable, heavyweight cotton canvas fabric developed by Carhartt, known for its ruggedness and ability to withstand demanding use.
Is this vest waterproof?
No, the vest is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and durability, offering some resistance to light moisture but not full protection against rain.
How do I determine the right size?
The vest features a regular fit. Consult the product's sizing chart or consider your typical layering needs. If you plan to wear it over very thick sweaters, you might consider sizing up.
Can the vest be worn in warmer weather?
While the sleeveless design offers some breathability, the quilted lining and canvas shell are intended for cooler temperatures. It may be too warm for higher temperatures.
What is the lining made of?
The lining is made of 100% nylon taffeta with a diamond quilt pattern for added warmth and smooth layering.
How should I wash and care for the vest?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Dry flat and do not tumble dry. Avoid bleach.
Does it have an inside pocket?
This specific model description does not mention an inside pocket; it features external kangaroo pouch pockets.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the slider. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
Vest feels stiff or inflexible
This is common with new canvas items. Wear the vest regularly during light activities. Washing it according to care instructions and drying it flat can help soften the fabric over time.
Stitching appears loose
For minor loose threads, carefully snip them with sharp scissors. If significant stitching is coming undone, contact customer support for potential warranty claims.
