Vintage 2003 Carhartt J140 Detroit Hoodie Jacket
Made in USA / Union Made

Size: Medium (fits like a cropped boxy fit on 180cm / 73kg) — fits me perfectly with that classic rugged silhouette.
Color: Faded Carhartt Brown / Tan Duck Canvas
Lining: Black Quilted Thermal

This is a true vintage Carhartt piece from 2003, union made in the U.S.A., not the offshore junk. You get that thick, heavyweight duck canvas with patina earned through time — not factory-faked distressing.

Condition:
• Fair vintage condition overall.
• Visible scuffs, markings, and small damage throughout (adds to the character — not for hypebeasts, for real ones).
• Zipper works fine, cuffs and hem intact, hood cinch still functional.
• Quilted lining is clean and warm.

This jacket doesn’t pretend. It’s lived. It’s seen cold mornings and rough work. And now it’s ready for another life — whether that’s on the street, on the bike, or on the grind.

???WHAT is J140???

The Carhartt J140 is one of the brand’s most iconic and best-selling jackets.

Carhartt J140 is Active Jacket with Quilted Flannel Lining

Model Name: J140

Outer Shell: Heavyweight 12 oz. Cotton Duck Canvas
Lining: Quilted Flannel (often called the “thermal lined” version)

Why It’s Famous

The J140 is Carhartt’s answer to harsh winters. Designed originally for cold-weather work, it combines Carhartt’s signature tough duck canvas with a warm quilted flannel lining that makes it a go-to for laborers, farmers, hunters, and city dwellers alike.

Compared to other models:
• J130 = quilted nylon lining (less warm, easier layering)
• J140 = quilted flannel (warmer, cozier)
• J133 = arctic quilt lining (even warmer, heavier)
• J001 = blanket lining (more vintage-like)

Why Vintage Collectors Like It

Vintage J140s, especially made in the USA have become collectible. The heavy canvas ages beautifully, developing fades and patina unique to the wearer. They’re also associated with hip-hop, blue-collar aesthetics, and streetwear scenes.

If you ever come across a Made in USA J140, especially in rare colors (like faded black, natural, or Detroit brown), it’s worth grabbing. This jacket is brown (BRN in the tag)
