Carhartt Men's Tall Sandstone Detroit Jacket

I’m 5”9 185LBS,⬅️ (we listen and we don’t judge) originally ordered a Large. Received it, tried it on and it was HUGE! Sleeves were extremely long, the body of the jacket was super baggy, even with a sweatshirt on I still looked like a 5 year old trying on Grandpas suit jacket. I returned the Large, ordered a Medium and it fit perfect! (That’s what she said) Also fits nicely with a sweatshirt on. Certainly not the warmest jacket but does the job on those 50 degree days. Beats going back to your Ex to keep you warm on those chilly days. The zipper is a bit annoying to operate but that seems to be a thing with Carhartt jackets. Being that I own a few, they all have that same issue. Still it’s no where near as annoying as your boss saying “Good morning” on a Monday morning, before coffee. I really like the tan color of the jacket but just know, it’s not a perfect match to the Timberland tan, the jacket is a bit darker. So, if you’re looking for a jacket to perfectly match your Tim’s, this isn’t it unfortunately. But Damn does it still look nice when paired with the boots! Play on, playa! 😂 Overall quality of the jacket is really nice, built to last long than your last relationship!

~~This was my Christmas gift to my husband. He has worn his Carrhart Detroit jacket for at least 8 years. The Detroit jacket is great: the zipper is strong, he can wear a sweater or hoodie under it & it still fits great. He loves the blanket lining & that it fits him at 5’11”. I love that It’s water/snow proof & has pockets to keep him from losing his keys.

This jacket leaves no one indifferent. It's an icon of American culture, but it wasn't originally conceived as a fashion item; rather, it was designed as a garment for the harsh weather and working conditions of the American working class. It's a durable jacket that provides warmth and protection, but it's also stylish and full of character.

Now—this is Carhartt. It’s known for durability. It’s workwear, and it’s built tough. I’ve seen reviews saying the color isn’t the same as what the model is wearing or what people see in photos. And yes—this is the modern version, not the vintage Detroit jacket (model J97). There are differences between them—the lining is different, and a few other details as well (don’t quote me on every spec). Also, the Detroit line is no longer made in the USA. Most of the complaints are really about color. If you’re comparing this to a vintage Detroit jacket or someone else’s well-worn one, don’t. Those jackets have been worn for years and washed countless times. The color has faded over time—that’s exactly how they get that cool, broken-in look. Even the model photos often show a lighter tone. So if you’re disappointed by the color when you first get it, don’t be. Out of the box, the jacket is stiff and more reddish. Over time, as you wear it, wash it, and actually use it, the color will fade and soften into the look you’re probably expecting. Nowadays, this jacket has kind of shifted into a fashion piece—but at its core, this is still a work jacket. It’s meant to be worn hard, broken in over time, and earned—not judged fresh out of the box.

Excellent jacket, very warm and fits well. There are a good amount of pockets to carry the basics. The outer material is tough and will definitely last and the inner ‘blanket’ material is softer than it used to be. The only gripes I have are that they aren’t made in the US anymore and the little strap that you would use to hang the jacket on a hook sits right at the back of your neck and the material used is a bit scratchy. Overall, it’s a great value!

We bought this jacket for my son and he likes it. It has held up well, seems to be very durable and is warm.

perfect jacket for this cold weather! love the way it fits and worth every penny!

The jacket is beautiful and very well made. Our grandson loved it.
