FAQs

What is Dearborn canvas?

Dearborn canvas is a durable, 100% cotton canvas fabric developed by Carhartt, known for its ruggedness and ability to withstand wear and tear, softening over time with use.

Is this vest warm enough on its own?

The vest has a quilted lining for some warmth, but its sleeveless design makes it best suited as a layering piece for added insulation over other garments in cooler temperatures.

How should I choose my size?

The vest has a regular fit designed for layering. Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for measurements, and consider if you prefer a snugger or looser fit when layering.

Can I wash this vest in a washing machine?

Yes, the vest can be machine washed cold (30°C) with similar colors. Avoid high heat when drying.

What is the purpose of the two-way zipper?

The two-way zipper allows you to open the vest from both the top and the bottom, providing adjustable ventilation and easier movement, especially when sitting down.

Will the canvas material shrink?

While the care instructions recommend drying flat, tumble drying on a low heat setting might cause slight shrinkage. It's best to follow the care label precisely to minimize shrinkage.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricating the teeth with a graphite pencil or a bit of wax can help.

Vest feels stiff after washing.

This is normal for canvas. Wear the vest frequently to break it in. You can also try tumble drying on a low heat setting (check care label) or air drying.

Color seems faded.

Wash with cold water and similar colors. Avoid direct sunlight exposure during drying, as this can cause fading. Consider using a color-safe detergent.

Pockets feel shallow.

The kangaroo pockets are designed for smaller items. For larger items, consider wearing the vest over a garment with deeper pockets or using a bag.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and appearance of your vest, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or, preferably, dry flat to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fabric's shape. Do not use a high heat tumble dry setting.
