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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
