How does it fit compared with other Carhartt jackets?

It runs large. Many owners size down one step, and the XXL loose fit is especially roomy. It is cut to layer over a sweater or hoodie.

Is it warm enough for subzero winters?

Yes. Arctic-weight insulation with a wind-blocking storm flap and inner cuffs makes it one of Carhartt's warmest coats. In extreme cold, wear a base layer and mid layer.

Does it come with a hood?

No. The corduroy collar has snaps for the optional Firm Duck Hood (CT102368), sold separately.

How should I care for the duck canvas?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low; the canvas softens with washing and wear. Avoid fabric softener, which can cut the water repellency.

What is the difference from the Carhartt Detroit Jacket?

The Traditional Coat is longer, heavier and warmer, with a full storm flap and inner cuffs. The Detroit is a shorter, lighter jacket for milder cold.

Is it good for active work?

It is built for standing cold and moderate activity. The articulated elbows and bi-swing back help reach, but it is heavy and warm for hard physical work.
