Carhartt Bartlett Jacket - Gravel - 3XL

This refers to the jacket's main fabric. '12 oz' indicates its heavy weight and density. '100% Cotton' is the fiber content. 'Ring Spun' means the cotton fibers are tightly twisted for strength and softness. 'Washed Duck' signifies that the canvas fabric has been pre-washed to reduce stiffness and provide a more comfortable, broken-in feel from the start, unlike traditional stiff duck canvas.

No, the hood on the Carhartt Bartlett Jacket is attached, providing integrated warmth and protection that cannot be detached.

The 100% cotton duck fabric offers some natural resistance to light moisture and wind, but it is not designed to be fully waterproof. In heavy rain, water will eventually saturate the fabric. For prolonged exposure to wet conditions, additional waterproof layers are recommended.

Always refer to the official Carhartt size chart. Consider what you plan to wear underneath the jacket. If you intend to layer heavily, you might consider sizing up or choosing a 'Tall' variant if available for extra length, although this specific variant is a standard 3XL.

The body of the jacket is lined with Sherpa for warmth and comfort, while the sleeves feature a quilted lining to allow for easier movement and layering.

While primarily designed for work and rugged environments, its classic, durable style makes it suitable for casual everyday wear, especially in colder weather. Its rugged aesthetic is a hallmark of the Carhartt brand.

While it's 'washed duck' for initial softness, consistent wear is the best way to fully break in the jacket. A few washes might also help, following the care instructions carefully.

Ensure you are layering appropriately underneath. While the Sherpa lining is warm, extreme cold often requires multiple layers, such as a thermal base layer and a mid-layer sweater, in addition to the jacket.

The sleeve hems are Cordura-reinforced for durability. If excessive wear occurs, review your activities to identify potential points of friction. For minor fraying, a heavy-duty fabric adhesive can sometimes prevent further damage, but significant damage may require professional repair.

To minimize shrinkage, always wash in cold water and tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, air dry. High heat is the primary cause of cotton shrinkage.
