FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Carhartt Loose Fit Washed Duck Insulated Active Jac is made from heavyweight cotton duck, which offers some natural resistance to light moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend wearing a dedicated waterproof outer shell.

What is 3M Thinsulate insulation?

3M Thinsulate is a synthetic insulation material known for providing warmth without significant bulk. It traps body heat effectively, making the jacket warm yet lightweight enough for active use.

How should I clean the jacket?

Generally, machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. Always check the specific care tag inside your jacket for detailed instructions to best preserve the fabric and insulation.

Does the jacket run true to size?

This jacket features a 'Loose Fit' design, which means it's cut generously to allow for comfortable layering. If you prefer a closer fit, you might consider sizing down, but it's designed to be roomy for work and movement.

Can I remove the hood?

No, the hood on this Active Jac is attached and quilt-lined, designed as an integral part of the jacket for consistent warmth and protection.

What kind of activities is this jacket best for?

This jacket is ideal for demanding outdoor work and activities in cold conditions, such as construction, farming, carpentry, landscaping, or any situation requiring durable warmth and freedom of movement.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.

The heavyweight cotton duck fabric may feel stiff when new. This is normal. Wear and washing will soften the material over time, enhancing comfort and flexibility.

Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric lining is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or wax) to the zipper teeth to improve smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Water repellency seems reduced after washing.

While the jacket is primarily designed for warmth and durability, some cotton duck fabrics have a water-resistant treatment. If this diminishes, consider applying a fabric waterproofing spray suitable for cotton workwear after washing and drying to restore some water repellency.

Loss of insulation warmth over time.

Ensure the jacket is cleaned according to care instructions, as dirt and oils can compress insulation. Avoid over-compressing the jacket during storage. If the insulation is consistently packed flat, its insulating properties may be reduced.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This Carhartt Active Jac requires no setup beyond putting it on. It is designed to be compatible with a wide range of workwear and casual clothing, easily layering over shirts, hoodies, or other base layers due to its loose fit.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your jacket. Always refer to the care tag inside the garment for the most accurate instructions, as general guidelines are provided below:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach, which can damage the fabric and insulation.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry low. Remove promptly to avoid excessive wrinkling. High heat can damage the Thinsulate insulation and shrink the cotton duck fabric.
  3. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting, avoiding any insulated or synthetic components.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  5. Stain Treatment: Treat stains promptly with a mild stain remover, following product instructions. Avoid vigorous scrubbing that could damage the fabric weave.
