Review: Great autumn/winter jacket - For over 20 years, I've been buying Carhartt WIP coats (WIP, or 'Work in Progress' is the European street wear company that has licensed the 'Carhartt' brand from the US workwear company since the mid 1990s), but the prices in the UK have increased so much recently (more so than in continental Europe e.g a £200 item costs only €199 (~£165)), and the designs are getting weirder and further from the workwear roots of the original brand. I used to like everything in their range and it all fitted well, but recently it's been quite hit or miss. So I thought I'd check out some US Carhartt, I got a sweatshirt that is great, but I've also had to return a t-shirt and a different jacket before because the sizing was huge. Therefore, I thought trying a different US Carhartt jacket would be a gamble based on my past experience and other reviews saying to size down. I'm only 5' 8" and 140 pounds, so sizing down is not an option. The small is definitely a loose fit as the label says, but that's not an issue for a winter jacket where you want to layer with a jumper or hoodie and maybe a scarf. The sleeves, whilst generous, are not too long (although I wouldn't want them longer) and will keep the cold out. The quality of the jacket is great and I like the classic, but updated style. I can definitely feel that this serious workwear that could be worn by a contractor in Michigan (it even has a special front pocket compartment for your carpenters pencil!), but the jacket also looks smart, so perfect for wearing on my commute or going out. The warmth level feels about right for the autumn and winter in the UK (a 3 out of 4 on Carhartt's warmth scale - bearing in mind we don't get -20℃ plus winters like the brand's main customers face!). The weight feels substantial, but not heavy or cumbersome. This jacket will replace my old Superdry jacket which was very comfortable, but was plagued by quality issues (stitching falling apart and a zip breaking). Given that this jacket is much better value than Carhartt WIP and way better quality than similarly priced Superdry (which has started a Carhartt-style 'surplus' range), I'll definitely be looking at more original Carhartt items for my wardrobe. Thanks to desertcart for making this excellent American brand more available in the Europe. As others have said, if you've been on the fence about getting a jacket from this brand, go for it, I highly recommend it - I'm so pleased with this jacket! I also hope the sizing info is useful for anyone similarly sized. Review: best quality jacket i've ever bought - 100% would recommend. I'm 15 and got a M and should last a long time. it looks great and feels great and it also great for working in. and it's very warm. This is now an update I have had this jacket from the 15th of February 2024 and still have it now on the 18th of March 2026. I have worn it for hours at work at a joinery workshop. The main places of wear for me have been on the sleeves which I expected and the cuffs and some on the front pockets apart from that it is doing amazingly. It’s not very dirty I’ve never washed it which I am pretty impressed by. Howver some people might be affected by the fact that this stains from the sun a lot. It goes from the original brown colour to a very soft tan sort of colour which I think looks good. I would highly reccomend this jacket compared the any other work jacket. It’s so warm has great pockets just brilliant. And it looks cool. ## Features - 12-Ounce, 100% ring-spun cotton washed duck - Nylon lining quilted to 80g 3M Thinsulate insulation in body, sleeves, and hood - Attached hood with low profile adjustment at hood hem - Updated lower front pockets with brushed tricot lining and reinforced bottoms - Pen stall in wearer's right, lower front pocket ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07S18WZGG | | Age Range Description | adult | | Apparel Fabric Stretch | No Stretch | | Apparel Fabric Weight Class | Heavyweight | | Best Sellers Rank | 96,525 in Fashion ( See Top 100 in Fashion ) 22 in Men's Track Jackets | | Brand Name | Carhartt | | Care instructions | Machine Wash | | Closure Type | Zipper | | Coat Silhouette Type | Anorak | | Collar Style | Band | | Colour | Dark Brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 6,469 Reviews | | Fabric Type | 100% Cotton | | Fit Type | Regular | | Fit to Size Sentiment | False | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00192776181370 | | Has Coat Weather Resistance | Yes | | Item Length Description | Standard Length | | Item Type Name | Work Utility Outerwear | | Lining Description | Nylon and Taffeta | | Manufacturer | Carhartt | | Material | Cotton,Nylon | | Material composition | 100% Cotton | | Model Number | 104050 | | Number Of Pockets | 2 | | Part Number | 104050-DKB | | Pattern | Solid | | Pocket Description | front pockets | | Product Care Instructions | Machine Wash | | Seasons | Autumn | | Sleeve Length Description | Long Sleeve | | Sleeve Type | Long Sleeve | | Style | Active Jacket J130 (Big & Tall) | | UPC | 192776181370 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Images ![Men's Loose Fit Washed Duck Insulated Active Jac - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51RSpIqmLcL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: how many pockets does it have outside and inside?** A: This has two lined front pockets (one of them has a pen stall).

He got a large but swapped it for a medium. I’m guessing a large would do you. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great autumn/winter jacket *by J***P on 27 October 2024* For over 20 years, I've been buying Carhartt WIP coats (WIP, or 'Work in Progress' is the European street wear company that has licensed the 'Carhartt' brand from the US workwear company since the mid 1990s), but the prices in the UK have increased so much recently (more so than in continental Europe e.g a £200 item costs only €199 (~£165)), and the designs are getting weirder and further from the workwear roots of the original brand.

A little oversized but think if you are a large normally it will be just right for you if you wear a lot of hoodies. Might be a little loose with just a t shirt but the style if oversized to be honest so it won't look stupid. The pockets are perfect as well and with a zip internal pocket, you won't be losing anything important. Hood sits perfectly and stays in place. ## Frequently Bought Together - Carhartt Men's 104050 J130 Washed Duck Active Jac - Carhartt Men's Relaxed Fit Washed Duck Sherpa-Lined Utility Jacket - Carhartt Men's Relaxed Fit Duck Blanket-Lined Detroit Jacket --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/224919716-mens-loose-fit-washed-duck-insulated-active-jac](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/224919716-mens-loose-fit-washed-duck-insulated-active-jac) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
