The Epitome of the Chore Coat: Carhartt WIP Michigan Coat
The Carhartt WIP Michigan Coat is far more than just a work jacket—it is the foundation of the modern workwear wardrobe. Originally designed as a functional "Chore Coat" for laborers, the Michigan Coat has evolved into a global streetwear icon thanks to its indestructible construction and signature four-pocket aesthetic. At Stickabush, we curate an exclusive selection of this classic, reflecting deep Carhartt WIP brand authority.
Unlike the shorter Detroit Jacket, the Michigan Coat offers a longer, straight silhouette. Crafted from the legendary 12 oz "Dearborn Canvas" or seasonal materials like corduroy and denim, it is the centerpiece of our Carhartt WIP Jacket collection. Whether in classic "Hamilton Brown" or modern "Aged" washes, this jacket is an investment in longevity and timeless style.
Unmistakable Details & Quality
Every Michigan Coat in our Carhartt WIP world is characterized by functional sophistication: triple-stitched seams for maximum durability, a classic corduroy collar, and the iconic square label on the chest pocket. Within the hierarchy of Men's Jackets at Stickabush, the Michigan Coat holds the top position for an authentic heritage look.

FAQ: Everything about the Carhartt WIP Michigan Coat
What is the difference between the Michigan Coat and the Detroit Jacket?
The Michigan Coat is a classic chore coat that is cut longer (reaches past the hip) and features four patch pockets on the front. The Detroit Jacket is shorter (hip-length), has a boxy fit, and features only one chest pocket and two side pockets.
Is the Michigan Coat waterproof?
The classic Michigan Coat made of Dearborn Canvas is highly water-repellent and windproof, but not fully waterproof like a technical rain jacket. Due to the dense weave of the 12 oz canvas, it withstands light rain with ease.
How do I care for my Michigan Coat?
We recommend washing the jacket as rarely as possible to maintain the stiffness and color of the canvas. Spot clean stains where possible. If machine washing, turn the jacket inside out and wash at a low temperature (do not tumble dry).
