Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket
What is the difference between the Detroit Jacket and the OG Detroit Jacket?
Answer: The main difference lies in the fit. The regular Detroit Jacket has a more modern and slightly slimmer cut, while the OG Detroit Jacket is made in the "Original Loose Fit." The latter is significantly wider at the shoulders and shorter in the body, which corresponds to the authentic, boxy look of 90s workwear.
How do I care for the Dearborn Canvas to preserve its patina?
Answer: To encourage the natural aging and patina of the canvas, the jacket should be washed as infrequently as possible. For light soiling, brushing while dry is usually sufficient. If washing is necessary, we recommend a cold wash inside out to preserve the distinctive creases and color variations that give it its vintage character.
Is the Detroit Jacket suitable for winter?
Answer: The classic Detroit Jacket with blanket lining is an excellent transitional jacket for autumn and spring. Because it's windproof, it retains body heat well. However, for extremely cold winter days, layering with a thick knit sweater or choosing a model with additional padding is recommended.
Why is the Detroit Jacket cut slightly shorter at the back?
Answer: This design feature dates back to the time when the jacket was primarily designed for workers. The short cut prevented the fabric from billowing out when sitting or bending over (e.g., in vehicles or at machinery). Today, this "boxy fit" creates the distinctive streetwear silhouette, which pairs particularly well with high-waisted trousers.
