I got one of these and I have to say - it’s fantastic! Much lighter weight than the standard blanket-lined Detroit, but that makes it better for fall and layering later. But it’s still quite rugged and well made. Skinny guys may want to size down. It is cut quite full as is normal for Carhartt’s work line.
Just picked one up, still on the fence if I want to keep this one or get the blanket lined version. I like the back cut on the re-engineered cause it doesn’t have that tail piece.
@@SwangBangCo I get you. I just think for the price you can’t go wrong. Depends how hard you are going to wear it, being in Miami it’s probs minimal. But being somewhere with a harsher winter, the lined version may be worth it.
@@kicksofmiami Good point! After doing some searching looks like most of the big sites are sold out of the blanket lined mediums anyways. Have you gotten a few washing in on your jacket and how is it holding up?
@@SwangBangCo I wore it pretty hard this summer and held up good. Still looks the same. That’s with traveling overseas and such. Yet to wash it cause I haven’t really needed too much. But seems pretty sturdy.
Hey, So i'm around 5'11 and about 155lbs. I went with a small and its pretty perfect. I can fit a small sweater underneath and zip it up, a thicker hoodie may work but it would be tight. The return process was free and easy, buying a Small and Extra Small may be a good option too if it is a possibility.
@@changshen9770 Hey, those are similar to my measurements and I went with an S. I can wear a T-shirt and a thin sweater, so if you want a thicker layer I think an M would be your best bet.
@@masonjagat I don’t have the OG to compare. But I looked up photos and stuff myself when I was debating between them as the WIP version. This one come lined too, slightly different pattern. But still pretty well built, could easily wear it with just a T-shirt in like spring and fall weather.
For the price you can't go wrong. Its lined and the outer material is pretty tough. I know the WIP Detroit jackets come in like spring and fall versions (line or unlined), feel this could fall maybe in between. I love it, and the colorway is like the perfect Carhartt brown.
@@Denosauropteryx Cheers. I’m about 180 cm and just shy of 70kg and I got a small. Fits great. Depending on how you want it to to fit, but sizes could work. Medium would probs be better if you are looking for t-shirts underneath. If you want hoodies and sweaters; then a large may be better. They had a really easy return policy, so buying one of each is also an option.
@@bagusimamastungkara248 I’m about 180cm, 70kg and a similar chest size. I ordered a small and it’s pretty perfect. Fits well with just a T-shirt, able to wear a hoodie or sweater under if I wanted too
Medium would probs work in terms of your height, the small fitted me well. I can fit a small sweater and maybe a mid weight hoodie under and still zip it up. Most of the time i wear it with just a t-shirt. It is not as slim cut as the ones from WIP - Carhartt which may help. Otherwise, their return process was pretty easy and free, so could always order a medium and large.
@@chaquen81 I wouldn’t think it’s like the WIP Detroit jacket based off the price. But I also know the WIP have like spring and winter versions. It seems like a more basic alternative, but from the front and while you wear it, you wouldn’t be able to tell without examining it.

@@bolandjd glad you liked it. I thought it was great. You did a good job explaining the sizing. Overall a great jacket.

size for 187cm and 76kg? I don’t know whether to choose L, XL or even M .

Is this thinner the the og?

Is this more lighter? Is the qualilty tough? Is it worth getting ?

Are the sleeves lined?
No
Nice video. How's the sizing? I'm 188cm, 80 kg and debating whether to get medium or large.

Can you share the link where you got it from?
Hey you go.

Is this still cropped like the original Detroit?
I don’t have the WIP style to compare. But sits right around the top of the jeans, like a denim trucker.
Can you provide the dimensions of the jacket?
@@zhernan5568 which areas of the jacket are you looking for and I’ll see what I can do
How’s the fit around the belly area?
@@AlfonsoMunguia-v5f it’s good. It’s not cut slim around that area. Kinda straight.
i am 170 cm/ 67 kg should i buy small? i have chest size around 96cm, could you share ur chest size for reference? thanks in advance sir

@@kicksofmiamithanks!
I’m 6’1 & weigh about 180.. I wear a Large In just about everything but after seeing yours you think a medium would fit better?

Are the sleeves lined on this jacket?
@@chaquen81 They are not. The body had a lining, but the sleeves are just the unlined canvas.
@@kicksofmiami Then it's definitely not the same as the previous Workwear models or the Work in Progress models. It looks a lot tinner too.
