American Made Greatness!!! The Workhorse Jacket from Heat Straps

Рет қаралды 93,240

Күн бұрын

Ever since Carhartt discontinued their original Detroit Jacket in favor of an updated one, I've been searching for a replacement. No real contenders existed for a short hem, simple, yet durable work jacket that is also made in the USA. So Heat Straps decided to make one: The Workhorse is the latest offering in the brands lineup of American made workwear and its basically perfect. 10oz waxed canvas, 100% wool lining, made in American from American components. It might be the last work jacket you'll ever need.

Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well and allows you to own less and own better.

I like front snaps like on my filson tin jacket.. If you are working on moving parts and it gets caught in something the snaps will automatically break free and it might give you an opportunity to get out of it.

Great Jacket, I just got my XL from the second run, it's an amazing jacket, it's absolutely beautiful. Sizing: I also just got a Carhartt Men's Full Swing Relaxed Fit Washed Duck Insulated Traditional Coat in XL from work and it fits perfectly so I wear XL in Carhartts jackets, I can raise my hands over my head, there's plenty of room to layer, it's perfect, now I wear XXL in Filson and other button down shirts, but XL in the Filson Cruiser and I compared the measurements from my XXL Filson Alaska Guide shirt to the Workhorse and ordered the XL based on the measurements and your recommendations to size down and it fits nice and snug. Unfortunately that means there is no room to layer underneath, and I can't raise my arms above my head, so this jacket is a very nice thing to wear for style but it won't work to keep me warm when it's cold since I can't layer underneath it, and I can't really be able to work in it since sometimes I have to raise my hands above my head. Please tell guys from XL and up to wear their regular size, don't size down, I spent the entire wait period terrified it was going to be WAY too big, turns out it was a tiny bit too small. I do love it, and now I am even more determined to lose some weight so it fits better.

@creeperdude26 Жыл бұрын

What would you say about sizing compared to the new detroit jacket? I have a large one with a bit of room to spare but the sizing chart on the heatstraps website is kind of confusing, especially in the chest measurement. There is an almost 16 inch chest size difference between both large jackets. definietely interested, but I want to make sure I get close to the correct size.

Love jackets, but I live in Houston, TX where we get 3 months out of the year to wear a jacket sporadically. The rest of the time it's 100% humidity and 95 degrees, so it feels like 110 degrees and full of sweat. However, we also get plenty of rainstorms, tropical storms, hurricanes. So what I need is a good work rain jacket that isn't just a yellow, plastic tarp made to look like a poncho. Any, thin, waxed, hooded, jackets out there you know of? I say thin, cause even when it rains here, it's still 80 to 90 degrees most of the time. Thanks.

Seems like a comparison to the Flint and Tinder Rancher jacket would be more accurate than to their Trucker one. Heavier canvas and a boxier fit, I'd be interested to hear what you think of it. Seems like every review only talks about the Trucker but I've been happy with the Rancher for work.

@langege02 Жыл бұрын

the rancher jacket doesn't have zipper, wool, or back gussets. I'd say its more of a shirt than a jacket.

@awilk418 Жыл бұрын

The liner is not the same but is similar, flannel through the body and quite warm, the sleeves are a slicker material for ease of movement like this jacket. The shell is 10 oz just like this jacket and unlike the trucker which is why that one feels more like a shirt. Buttons are personal preference I would say and while it is not gussetted the boxier tailoring mean it isn’t too restrictive.

@@CarlMurawski I have no idea tbh, but I need the rating on my work wear just to be onsite in the oilfields here in North Dakota. That's a good question. It's hard to find good work clothes anyway, so no surprised if you can't find anything quality. Most stuff is cheaply made these days.

@@wecx2375 oh absolutely. Plus FR is almost always double the price. I have a Tindale FR jacket that was way too expensive, but it was required.

@@CarlMurawski yep, even USA companies are garbage when it comes to FR gear. My new Bulwark Insulated coveralls ($200+) already got holes in the pockets, snaps have completely ripped off, etc and just shy of 2 months of use. FR is like the worst market to shop in.

A big part of the appeal of the original Detroit Jacket was the athletic appearance it gave the wearer. Even a portly fellow would have a V-shaped back when he put it on. Other jackets completely miss this aesthetic.

The original Detroit jacket was perfect. Not sure why they messed with perfection.

Thank you, your jacket and the others seem like great choices but let's be real they all cost too much. Even a $100.00 jacket is steep for an average working man. Considering the cost of a good pair of work boots these days I would rather put the money on boots. We all have to make priority choices on needed items balanced against money available. Thanks again.
