Shopping Tips
Standard Carhartt runs large — size down one for a regular fit. Carhartt WIP runs true to size. Their duck canvas will break in over time but starts stiff. Outerwear is designed for layering so factor that in.
Size Comparison
Standard line runs much larger than most brands — a Large feels like an XL elsewhere. WIP line is comparable to Dickies or standard streetwear sizing.
