There are several types of work jackets in the world. So many that it would take you an entire lifetime to count them all. It would easily take longer to figure out the differences between all of them. Well you’re in luck; you’re not going to have to do any of the work involved with researching these differences. Instead you get to stay nice and cozy and just read this jacket buyers guide I’ve generously written for you. Knowing these differences is going to bring you a long way when deciding on which Carhartt work jacket to purchase. If you take anything from this guide it should be, Carhartt is the king of work jackets. No other jacket even comes close in comparison. Let’s get started.
One thing to remember about any Carhartt work jacket is they are built to last. They are built to take a nuclear bomb, or a harpoon. This is important for anyone that works outside all of the time, fighting the elements. Most of them are all triple stitched for added durability so you won’t have to worry about that. A lot of people that I know that own a Carhartt jacket have had it for so long, but you can’t tell that it’s old at all. Either they take really good care of it (which I doubt since they do construction) or Carhartt knows how to make one damn good jacket. If you decide to follow my advice, use this guide and buy a Carhartt work jacket you’re not going to regret it. They’re made for years, not seasons.
One of the most obvious but important things to think about when purchasing a Carhartt work jacket is what gender it’s made for. Men and women are made differently and so is the men and women’s line of Carhartt work jackets. A few years ago, you wouldn’t be able to even find a female work jacket, but after there was so much demand for them Carhartt decided to produce a line of them. They are just as durable, comfortable, and necessary as the men’s work jacket. After you’ve figured out which one best suits you, then we can move onto the next important aspect of shopping for a Carhartt jacket. Ready? Let’s go.
When shopping for a Carhartt work jacket you should always keep in mind that they are all lined differently. Carhartt has a very detailed lining guide that can help you figure out the differences between the linings. I will touch base on a few of them so you won’t end up wearing something made for the summer, in the winter. Carhartt’s thickest lining is it’s arctic quilt lining, and it’s thinnest is its thermal lining. The arctic quilt lining is as it sounds, made for weather comparable to the arctic. While wearing a work jacket with arctic quilt lining you won’t even have to worry about layering, but the downfall with purchasing a jacket with this lining is that you will not be able to wear this during the warmer months. Work jackets with thermal lining are considered 3-season jackets, because with the right amount of layering they can be worn during cold days, and with no layering they can be worn during warm days. When deciding on a work jacket always keep in mind the different lining, and the environment you will be wearing the jacket in.
Carhartt is excellent at providing a jacket that can fight through the elements. When you’re wearing a Carhartt work jacket you won’t have to worry about the snow or rain again. Almost all outer shells of a Carhartt jacket are completely waterproof or water resistant. If you’re going to be working in an area where there is a lot of water, or snow you’re going to want to choose a waterproof jacket. If you’re working in an area where the snow and rain might fall on occasion but it’s not a giant deal, then opt for the water resistant model. Both models have purposes, but don’t get one extreme if you don’t need it. Some of the jackets are built for really rough weather, and others are built for your standard work day. Always keep this in mind when purchasing a Carhartt work jacket.
Carhartt work jackets are stylish. Don’t get me wrong they are made for hard labor but they are also incredibly stylish. This might not be something worth putting a lot of thought into, but know that Carhartt jackets can be fashionable. I see girls every day, and men wearing Carhartt jackets with their luxury wear. They look good too! Carhartt is a brand that has been recognized for excellence in durability, comfort and protection. Soon though, there will be a fourth word to add to that description. When deciding on a Carhartt jacket for yourself keep in mind that they are all different and after you narrow down the choices based on the things I mentioned above then look for a style that will fit you. While at work you want to be confident. If you want to be completely confident then choose a Carhartt work jacket that fits your style. The compliments you’ll receive aren’t too shabby either. The best part of choosing a stylish Carhartt work jacket is that you can wear it even when you’re not working. It becomes universal.
I have discussed a lot of elements that need to be considered while shopping for a Carhartt work jacket. If you follow the guideline above then you can’t go wrong. You will find that you don’t need any other jacket in your closet, but your Carhartt work jacket. Just remember that safety, comfort, and durability should be the first thing on your list of concerns while looking for a jacket. After that, pick a style that best suits your taste. After you have put all of these pieces together order your jacket, and relax knowing that you now own one of the most recognized work wear brands on the entire planet.
