  • The Carhartt Detroit Jacket is possibly the one item (aside from the Carhartt knit cap) which has made its way into the style world along with being a nearly perfect work jacket. I've had my J97 Detroit Jacket since my early days as a mechanic, and now there's a new version of the Detroit Jacket with some updates!

    Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
    I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better.

      I can't afford to burn my wardrobe of Carhartt products because I bought them and it was a great sacrifice to me and my family to buy the overpriced gear, but I knew it would stand-up to the rigorous work I would put them through, but I will remove the label and logo from all the products and will go and make my statement with product ratings on Amazon and any other platform they sell on. It's high time people learn that their opinions go as far as their nose sticks out from their face. You decide for yourself whether you take the jab or not, but you ain't telling me to do a damn thing especially after the supreme court ruled against those Draconian mandates. Go woke, go Broke!!!!!

    Hello Carl! I have watching your videos for apporox a year. Being in law enforcement there were so many junk jackets that the term "longevity" was not a term that was applicable. I quite accidentally came across a Dickies jacket. What a horrible mistake I made buying it. The zipper was so cheap it jammed with the material and basically I donated it. Absolute junk.
    I purchased my first Carhartt jacket shortly after. I was amazed by the 1) quality 2) the tuff construction 3) it had more room for winter clothes worn under the jacket even being zipped up.
    Well I've added onto my Carhartt clothing. We reside above 5000 plus feet and I depend on Carhartt to keep me warm down to zero degrees in our long winters.
    I hope one day Carhartt will add goose down jackets with a tuff exterior with a western blanket lining with western blanket yokes.
    Best and kindest regards,

Don't have to worry about embers melting plastic, but man is it heavy. Detachable liner was cool too. It came with a quilted cotton liner which made it heavier, but super comfortable. Its called the jundayi and it was what was originally used for workers and soldiers in China. Managed to get a detachable poly quilt liner from another store and its served me brilliantly. I'll use my timberland when I'm on the go, but when it's really cold, it's either the China black of the b3 bomber.

    He was walking along 5th Ave with Central Park right across the street.
    Out of the building comes a beautiful young woman wearing a Carhartt short jacket absolutely clean. The building was in an area with some of the richest people in the country lived.
    This was the first time he had ever seen a “civilian” wearing Carhartt.
    He told me about it and commented that was the end of Carhartt.
    In a way he was correct, in a short period of time they stopped making everything in USA and turned from a work ware company to fashion.

    I have my Detroit jacket for a while now and won it from the Union Sportsmen's alliance. I saw this video and learned more than I never know about the jacket. I am happy to say and proud of it, "made in the USA". Thank you for the info.

    I had one for years I bought back in the early 90s..I also had a carhartt Jean shirt Jac made just like an over sized Jean shirt and it had a blanket lining , I wore both till the elbows had holes and the cuffs were frayed I even had a guy sew patches in the elbows..I was eventually deployed to Afghanistan got divorced after bouncing between Afghanistan and Iraq in the Army and as a civilian contractor and along with everything else fell into that black hole void where stuff disappears..I really miss the old jackets and fund a store that sells imperfections from Carhartt and ordering one on Friday

    I like the old. I would rock the new one to though. I had one got it from JC Pennies. In Northland Mall off Greenfield. In Southfield MI. I’m from Detroit so it definitely hits home with this one lol. Good video bro.

    The j97 was a washed duck, which came in several colors.
    The j001 was made with the original firm duck and only came in brown , blue, or black.
    It also had the blanket lining in the sleeves
    I think they made a mistake when they changed the Detroit jacket and the chore coat. They had two proven products and had to change them, and not for the better. They produce many other styles that have different options and could have kept their two iconic products original.
    I wish they would bring back a firm duck long sleeve button down.

      You can thank the streetwear "hypebeasts" for that. You don't even see people wearing Carhartt for work over here in the UK. Everyone wears their stuff solely as fashion items. I'll be honest, I'm guilty of this myself. Imported a pair of Carhartt B13 carpenter jeans from the US last year and I wear them casually because I like how they look. For work, I have some old grey Dickies canvas pants. They were already well used when I bought them, so I don't care about getting them even more dirty.

  • @HARMARSCH2

    Carl Murawski, I used to do receiving in a Grocery and on busy with both overhead doors and the man door being open, I had to get a jacket to wear. The store winter jackets were too heavy. I bought a Dickies Canvas jacket with a blanket lining but couldn’t put my name tag on it. The Manager didn’t care I wore my own jacket as long as I had a name tag on. I eventually bought a Tough Duck one made here in Canada. That’s what I wore at work till I left due to my health. I did try the Carhartt but same issue as with the Dickies I couldn’t put my name tag on. I did keep the Carhartt one riding in cooler temperatures. That is till I left it in my truck and someone decided they needed it more than me.

    I am a Truck Driver and prefer shorter Jackets without much fabric above the waist where some pockets can obstruct the movement of arms while driving this was even more important when semi trucks where made with stick shift now a days they are all automatic but still prefer a non bulky jacket also with some room around the wrists
    As Am getting old am looking I a, looking for clothes that make me look younger and remain functional so I ordered the Levi's trucker jacket which meets the criteria but haven't used it yet
    Also Barbour West Wax jacket is on its way it is made of waxed mid weight cotton and its a classic trucker jacket at least from the pictures

    I wanted a Moss Green Detroit for my uniform, but Carhartt has forsaken us. I'm not paying $500 on eBay, so I went with the Dickies Waxed Service Jacket. Very similar to the new style Detroit with a drop tail and a zippered chest pocket. It's cotton duck like the Detroit and much more comfortable than the Eisenhower. The drop tail hem is perfect for me because it lets me have my radio on my hip, but keeps me covered when I kneel.

    One of the main things being a wearer of watches I never liked with the popper sleeves is the bare metal back, it scratches the heck out of watches. I fixed it by glueing some thick felt over the back. But sleeves are always my Bete Noir as I have short arms so do prefer the poppers as I can then wear without the arms coming down over the tips of my hands.
    I wish manufactures would offer different sleeve lengths and the option of tailored of regular fit for each model. I remember in the old days many manufactures offered short, medium or long sleeve lengths. It can cost almost the price of s jacket to alter a popper sleeve or zip sleeve jacket to fit properly.

    I got one as a Christmas present about 20 yrs ago. The chore coat. I still have it. Someone asked me, when was i getting a new one. I laughed. An older guy who taught me construction said, you don't buy a new carhartt. The faded look it what makes a carhartt. Its true. I love mine. Best coat ever.

  • @GnosticSpeleunker

    I like the old version mostly because of blanket lining. It was perfect. You didn't mention how the old version went from numerical chest sizing to overall sizing. Mine is a 54 I think and I got too fat for it.

    Don't know about the Detroit jacket being the most popular but in my neck of the woods the chore coat and the artic jacket are been wearing Carhartt for a long time well before they became a fashion statement can remember when a brown (cotton duck ) chore coat with the blanket lining was 30-35 bucks

    Oh no - I can't believe they changed it! I had a Detroit I bought in 2008 but I had a large and didn't wear it so much as it was a bit too big - I ended up giving it to a friend and always intended to replace it. I just kept on with my A2 deck jacket which now really is disintegrating
    I'm in the UK and the Detroit is a bit more pricey here - I'd previously ordered from the USA. I never did get round to replacing it, and post lockdown I think a large would fit me great 😁 I like the old cuff and length - not sure I'd go for the new one.

    It's really unfortunate because I thought that I found my perfect jacket when I bought the older style jacket a few years ago. I really liked how roomy it was in the arms, slim waist and how it was short around the waist. Especially since I lift weights and it was perfect for my body type. I hoped that since it was a classic I could get jackets like that for years to come. Unfortunately not. I will not be buying the new one since it ruined the exact features I like. Time to look for an alternative.
