A durable work jacket that has held up exceptionally well through decades of heavy use. The shorter hem and classic design make it ideal for actual working conditions, though the blanket lining can feel scratchy for casual wear.
Strength

- Shorter hem works well with tool belt
- Classic, timeless look
- Not overly heavy for layering in fall/spring
- Blanket lining designed for durability
- Generously cut for layering with hoodie or sweatshirt
Weakness
- Scratchy blanket lining uncomfortable for casual wear
- Wide sleeves not a modern aesthetic

- Eliminated Detroit cuff on new model removes signature design
