Which is warmer, A or B?

They are close. Both use a 12-ounce cotton duck shell with a blanket-lined body and quilted nylon sleeves. B adds a wind-resistant finish, which helps in gusty weather.

Is B worth the extra $50?

Only if you want the corduroy hood-compatible collar, the two-way zipper and the water-repellent, wind-resistant shell. For plain warmth and the classic look, A does the same job for less.

Both use triple-stitched seams and 12-ounce duck. Reviewers of B say the current zipper and hardware feel lighter than older Detroit jackets, so treat the zipper as the weak point on either.

Can I add a hood to A?

No. A has a plain shirt collar with no snaps. B has hidden snaps on the corduroy collar for an optional hood.

How do the fits compare?

Both are relaxed fit. B's reviewers say the sleeves run long and the waist is snug, so try B on before relying on your usual size.

Which is better for rain?

B. Its shell is water-repellent and wind-resistant. A's listing does not state a water-repellent finish.

Carhartt Detroit Jacket Blanket-Lined vs Carhartt Duck Detroit Jacket

Both are the same Carhartt Detroit pattern in 12-ounce cotton duck with a blanket-lined body. The A listing is the better buy on price: $69.99 at eBay as of November 7, 2026, against $119.99 at the lowest daily price for B as of November 4, 2026. Buy A if you want the classic Detroit at the lowest price and don't need a hood-compatible collar. Buy B if you want the corduroy-trimmed collar with hidden snaps for an optional hood and a two-way brass zipper.
