This is my first Carhartt jacket.I've used it for about a month now and I am very happy with it.It is very well made and plenty warm for those cold nights & mornings.The jacket is fairly heavy... its not light weight at all.The fabric is very stiff on the outside, like canvas.It has loosened up a bit, however it still retains most of its original rigidity.The inside quilting is smooth and very comfortable.I work in SoCal near the ocean and the temperature gets around the low 40s-50s °F.Im sure if it got cooler the jacket would still keep me nice and warm.I paid $170 with free shipping when I purchased mine.I thought it was a little expensive, but having the peace of mind that comes with a nice layer of FR material between you and potential fire, $170 is worth it.This jacket should last for years to come.
UPDATE as of 04/23/09:I took the jacket to get professionally dry cleaned per label instructions.When I got the jacket back there were streaks on the outer shell where the dye had bled off.I contacted Carhartt customer service and they responded that this was a known issue with the dark navy color jacket and the heavy cotton fabric.They offered to replace the jacket with the brown, get a replacement in navy with updated labels, or return to store for refund.
"The new care instructions state that taking the garment to be dry-cleaned and requesting that they turn it inside out should prevent the bleeding of the dye."
