Anyone that wears Carhartt on a daily basis has one item that is their absolute favorite. If you’re like me, you wear this item almost any chance you get. It has become your most reliable garment, and you really want the world to see it every day. It’s been there through the really tough times, and even through the good times. My personal favorite Carhartt is the J182 Men’s Active Jacket.
This is my favorite item for a series of reasons. I have owned a lot of jackets in my time. A lot of different brands, and I have tried to find something that could trump my J182. Nothing to date has even come close in succeeding my Carhartt Active Jacket. When it rains, or it snows the first thing that I think is “I get to wear my active jacket today!”. This jacket has been courageous through the years, fighting the elements to keep me safe and dry. It took some time, but it slowly became my favorite Carhartt item. I have owned this specific Carhartt Jacket for more than 2 years, and it looks like I just bought it yesterday.
My favorite element about the J182 is that it can be worn through every season. It has a thermal lining, and if layered properly it can keep you warm during even the coldest winters. This jacket is 100% water resistant so when it’s raining or snowing hard I can’t even tell. Most jackets I’ve owned in the past have soaked up the rain or snow, causing a wet mess. The J182 reflects the water off of its shell keeping me dry all day.
This Jacket can be used while working on the job site, but it’s so functional that it can be used for casual wear as well. Some Carhartt clothing you wouldn’t dare wear to a fancy dinner, or the movies but this is one of the exceptions. It’s a sleek black color, and it looks business-casual when it’s zipped all the way up. I actually wore the J182 over my tuxedo, when my best friend got married. It sounds bizarre, but it was complimented so well that I wouldn’t consider wearing a different jacket.
