Today, the Detroit Jacket remains a popular jacket in casual clothing due to its all-around style, superior construction and its longtime connection with Motor City. Designed following a plain yet stylish sensation, the current model is made from 340-gram Dearborn canvas just like the original, a special fabric known for its robustness and durability and recognized for the distinctive loose fit. Further complemented by the organic cotton fabric that softens with use without compromising on durability, this Carhartt jacket is available in many different versions according to the season. Different linings provide ultimate insulation during winter, while the Detroit Summer Jacket comes in a more lightweight construction. One of the jacket's most distinctive features remains the plush corduroy collar, a small detail delivered together with the canvas square label on the breast pocket, a signature of authenticity. The Detroit Jacket is available in both men's and women's version, with a variety of colors and styles to suit any preference. Whether you're looking for a classic Carhartt WIP work jacket or a more fashion-forward statement piece, you're sure to find something that fits the bill.

How to wash a Carhartt WIP jacket?

The washing method depends on the type of jacket, but in general, Carhartt work jackets are sturdy enough to withstand various washing methods. Obviously, washing a fleece jacket is different from washing a cotton jacket, just as washing a down jacket differs from washing a GORE-TEX® jacket. What remains is the resilience of Carhartt WIP jackets, a feature that becomes particularly evident when it comes to durability and fire-resistant or tear-resistant fabrics, but is even more critical when we talk about product maintenance and care. To ensure the proper washing method, we recommend reading the instructions on the inner label of your jacket.

Where to buy a vintage work jacket?

SPECTRUM provides a curated selection of vintage-style work jackets from workwear brands like Carhartt WIP, Dickies, and many others.
