Comfort
Carhartt jackets are beloved Americana-made garments that have gained widespread appeal among millennial skateboarders, rappers and blue-collar workers alike. Breathable, warm and long-lasting are hallmarks of quality in any Carhartt product.
The classic Detroit Jacket has become an indispensable tool on construction sites, garages and farms. Made with tough cotton exterior shell fabric and featuring an ultra-warm quilted flannel inner lining for extra warmth – and popular among fashionable people such as Kanye West and Jonah Hill – the Detroit is a favorite choice of many fashionable individuals such as Kanye West and Jonah Hill alike.
Comfort of this jacket can be enhanced through its two hand-warming, kangaroo-style pockets on either side, plus two internal pockets to store small valuables. Furthermore, adjustable cuffs help seal off cold air.
However, some may find the loose fit uncomfortable. If you plan on wearing this jacket to work, make sure it allows enough room for layering a sweatshirt or flannel underneath; tight-fitting jackets limit flexibility and prevent you from adapting as the work intensity or weather conditions shift.

Style
Carhartt workwear designs adhere to the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid). Instead of trying to outwit or overwhelm consumers with complicated features, their products focus on providing people with what they need for everyday jobs and to be comfortable during inclement weather conditions.
