How to determine your size in 3 steps
- Measure your chest: Horizontally across the fullest part of your chest, with the tape measure snug and not constricting.
- Compare to chart: Choose the size based on your chest measurement.
- Choose a fit: True to size for a classic look, one size larger for relaxed layering.
You can find more basic tips in the size guide .
Fit check by model
- OG Detroit Jacket : Boxy, shorter, and wider in the shoulders and chest. For a relaxed workwear look, it's usually true to size; consider sizing down for a slimmer silhouette.
- Detroit Jacket Regular : Classic regular fit. Generally true to size. Wear a hoodie underneath and you'll probably order a size larger.
- Detroit Jacket Summer : Unlined and flexible. Fits true to size. For extra layering, size up half to a full size.
Size chart by chest circumference
Your chest measurement should be your primary guide. If you're between sizes, decide based on your desired width and layering.
| Size | Chest circumference body | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| S | 92 - 97 cm | Slim fit or smaller stature |
| M | 98 - 103 cm | Regular fit for most wearers |
| L | 104 - 109 cm | Comfortable or light layering |
| XL | 110 - 117 cm | More freedom of movement or hoodie underneath |
| XXL | 118 - 125 cm | Lots of space or strong layering |
Note: Dearborn Canvas is stiff at first and softens with wear. Lined versions feel a bit tighter on the inside. If you're looking for alternatives, check out all our jackets .
FAQ
Does the Carhartt Detroit Jacket run large or small?
Regular models usually fit true to size. The OG Detroit appears boxier and slightly larger. Lined versions can be more compact inside, especially with layering.
Does Dearborn Canvas shrink when washed?
Slight shrinkage is possible, especially with hot washes. It's best to wash or dry-clean jackets in cold water and do not tumble dry. The material stretches slightly with everyday wear.
What size for a person 180 cm tall?
Your chest measurement is more important than your height. For example, if you're around 100 cm tall, you're often between a size M and a size L. For a slimmer fit, order M; for more room, or for a hoodie, order L. If you're unsure, order two sizes and use our returns and exchange policy.
