The Carhartt Loose Fit Washed Duck Insulated Active Jacket is the evolution of a workwear legend. Based on the iconic J130 and redesigned using feedback from the Carhartt Crew, this is a proper, no-nonsense men’s work jacket built for cold mornings, long shifts and everything the British weather throws at you.
Crafted from heavyweight 12 oz, 100% cotton Soft Duck, it delivers that unmistakable Carhartt toughness with a slightly broken-in feel straight out of the box. Inside, a nylon lining quilted to 80g 3M Thinsulate insulation provides serious warmth without unnecessary bulk. It traps heat efficiently while staying lightweight enough to move in, ideal for layering on site or off the bike.
This updated version improves on every detail. The full-length front zip has been redesigned for smoother use and added durability, while the interior storm flap helps block out cold wind. The attached three-piece hood is quilt-lined for extra warmth and features adjustable draw cords with cord locks so you can batten down the hatches when needed.
Comfort and durability are built in. Pleated elbows allow better movement, Cordura-reinforced sleeve hems add extra abrasion resistance, and inner rib-knit cuffs help seal in warmth. A rib-knit waistband keeps the fit secure and comfortable throughout the day. Triple-stitched main seams reinforce high-stress areas, because shortcuts are not part of the plan.
Storage is sorted too. Two lower front pockets are lined with brushed tricot for hand-warming comfort, with a handy pen stall in the right pocket. Inside, you get two additional pockets, one with a zip closure and one with hook-and-loop fastening for secure storage of essentials.
