Hello bro, I am just curious why are you compare carhartt OG Detroit jacketwith WIP Detroit jacket. WIP line is actually Europe company considering fashion brand such as Stussy or levis. if levis makes 90% cotton + 10% spandex jeans still you can understand that right? You will not say bad words that they are not making any 15oz rigid denim for worker. I know OG old version brown leather logo Detroit jacket got famous for fashion because it looks nice, but that is not meaning that carhartt OG have to keep the same way for worker. They were changing clothes almost 200 years for worker, and that is the reason why real worker choose carhartt when we work in construction site. NOT FOR FASHION BRAND
Sorry i think the WIP names might of created confusion, when I'm talking about the OG Detroit jacket model I am referring to the style called (OG Detroit) that is a version of the Detroit jacket that is made by WIP currently. There is no OG version of the main Carhartt brand at the moment, only the newer styles which I don't find to hold up to the quality of the WIP OG Detroit Model. I own the current most updated version of the normal detroit jacket and also own 2 versions of the WIP detroit jackets with one of them being the OG Winter model. I find the OG to have the thickest duck and best construction. I also find it to be heavier and warmer when compared to the current normal brand Detroit jacket ( blanket lined). My issue is that WIP makes a better, warmer, and better constructed jacket that would be more suitable for workers when compared to Carhartt's main line, The closest thing you can buy to an old original brand detroit jacket is the new WIP OG Detroit and I wish that the original brand would just go back to making them the way they were when they produced them in the U.S. Its the equivalent to Levis having a normal brand and a fashion brand where the fashion brand is 15oz denim ( great for outdoor work) and the main line is 8oz cheap denim. It just doesn't make sense the fashion brand should focus on appearance and the main line should focus on quality and being good for working in, not the other way around
this is a very good video. I'm not sure whether the MJ catalogue thingy affected much according to what i've read( MJ estate was in debt etc, plus it only had a few of Ems hits). But the main fact i believe is something Em used to say in quite a few songs : "this is the only thing I'm good at", referring that he's pretty bad at almost everything else outside of his lyrical/rap skills. He's putting almost every ounce of energy into his music, and very little into everything else. Plus, he had serious trust issues regarding exploitation by the record company/family members etc early in his career, which would have made it difficult for him to find good business partners. Thanks for the video.
I own the 103828. The label says "Made In India" (wouldn't have bought it, if I had known before). I would say that neither the blanket lining nor the outer material is thin. On the opposite the jacket feels rather stiff and is also quite heavy. Definitely not a jacket for weekly casual wear. Don't know if it's as per original design, but the jacket sleeves have also a thin quilt lining. I was told they added the strip of bum-warmer at the bottom of the jacket as an extra protection for those working in the cold. Not very attractive, I agree, therefore the jacket is not part of my casual outfit.
Hi i cant seeem to find the link to download the driver for the kt68 PRO smart screen... I only have the link for the normal kt68.. Now my LED is not lighting up and i want to change my led screen :((( Do you mind sharing the link to download please
The only things I will have tailor add on the lower back tabs. They should kept that fot slimmer wasted people. Reacher is wearing the new one. The sleeves are a dead give away and we are the same height build before he took trt. I do miss the colors option but I know to chemically dye them permanently.
Problems for different people. Im a solid 6ft3 and the old tall models always looked like a girls jacket one me. Like the ones they wear where its not meant to buttoned up. It either got too hot to wear while I was working or not enough coverage working out in high wind with 35 degree weather. I wore it for work and fashion for 10 years. There's a company that sells one like the Detroit, but the pocket is on the other side. I can barely walk now and trying to get back into operating. I will wear it for fashion now and love the new fit that I could have for 15 years. lol
Ya to be fair i dont know who needs more than 200 mil 😅 noone ever said there net worth was right . I always figured em had atleast 500 mil who really knows
What most don’t know is that there are several different “GRADES” of Carhartt Detroit Jacket. They are as follows, -Import made with import materials. - Made in Mexico with US materials. - Made in USA with US materials known as the “Helmets to Hardhats” series.
I have a j97 from 2008, a c03 from 2004, and a hooded one, (cant remember what its called as it has no tags or logos on and its labeled irregular but seems to fit and be a nice color so idk). Love all 3 of them and use them for work/going out. Only grievance i really have is the c03 is longer even tho its the same size as the other 2 but maybe cropping it to the same length as the j97 may help it
I bought the new Detroit version. Sleeves covered my entire hand. No adjusting waist so it’s unusable and freezing if there is a breeze. I think k I might be done with Carhartt. Bought the Yukon extremes jacket. Worst jacket I’ve ever had. Zipper just broke after two years of light use
It’s work wear and the diaper covers our plumbers crack from unwanted eyes and wind. Also I for one would like a thinner inner lining considering myself and many others wear a hoodie underneath if it is too cold.
have one from 2009, I love it. I also have an older beanie from them which is warm and thicker, all the new ones I have since then are thin and cheap (woolless)
There's a fact among everyone commenting including op... None of yall are wholesale purchasing carhartt. At the end of the day, they make the most money off companies that mass buy this jacket for their employees and that's who their audience is. Your single jacket purchase or x amount for ebay won't change their earnings. There's some feedback theyve been getting from noone here that we don't know about and seems like the company's doing just fine.
I’ve had those older “vintage” models which would almost feel cropped for me when reaching up. Glad they made those changes instead of catering to millennials who would cry if they got a blister on their hands.
While Carhartt WIP is still a Carhartt brand, it focuses on a different set of products and customers. It’s mostly geared towards casual and refined streetwear for urban customers.
agree 100% with this video. The duck tail is absolutely absurd. Its the only think thats stopping me form buying this. At least make an option for the original one.
My first Carhartt was the Detroit brown duck with satin red lining. My mom gave it to me for Christmas back in 1994. I still have it and still wear it. Although I have a hooded black lined and my dad’s old heavy artic, the Detroit is my favorite.
