Carhartt Duck Detroit Jacket

[Seb Lucas]

I agree totally Carlos. I saw this a week ago and my heart sank. The Detroit used to look like a cool 1950's style utility jacket, with some style. That awkward drop tail especially makes it look like a generic issue work jacket.

I wonder what the next best option now is for a duck cotton work jacket that isn't an unnecessarily expensive yuppy hipster, artisanal, 60oz organic cotton, ethically sourced, hand crafted, vintage style, $800 'work' jacket.

What are you talking about? I never paid more than $750 for my artisan Levi's knockoff.

I've been eyeballing this jacket for quite some time. Interested to hear your thoughts, especially on the sleeve fit and length.

Edit: Just realized you maybe did not purchase. If that is the case obviously disregard.

Interesting. Apart from the fact that they don't do a work jacket in the correct shade of baby poo brown - can we really trust a company that also makes leather jackets for $200?

Lol. Correct color indeed.

For what its worth a TFL member gave this jacket glowing reviews about one year or so ago. I prefer to hear from more folks before jumping in, no matter the price.

20oz canvas. I wouldn’t buy their leather.
