Carhartt WIP Alton Jacket

Engineered with a heavy wool blend flannel fabric, the Carhartt WIP Alton Jacket in Alton Check/Cypress solves the issue of chilly seasonal transitions by combining classic plaid aesthetics with insulated utility. Constructed with a plush diamond-quilted nylon lining, this overshirt-inspired jacket provides efficient heat retention while sliding smoothly over hoodies and knitwear. The rich Cypress green check pattern brings a timeless outdoor look that holds its ground across cold-weather commutes and outdoor weekend trips.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or expose to direct artificial heat sources.

Carhartt WIP Alton Jacket - Our FAQs

1. Is the Alton Jacket warm enough to wear in mid-winter? Yes, the combination of a heavy wool-blend outer shell and a diamond-quilted lining makes it a very warm jacket when paired with a jumper or hoodie underneath.
2. Is this piece styled as an overshirt or a proper jacket? It acts as a hybrid shirt-jacket (shacket); it carries the clean aesthetic of a heavy flannel shirt but functions as a padded outer jacket.
3. Does the wool fabric feel scratchy on the inside? Not at all, because the interior is completely lined with a smooth diamond-quilted nylon that feels slick and comfortable against your skin or clothing.
4. How many pockets does the Alton Jacket have? It features four pockets in total: two buttoned chest pockets for small items and two hidden side welt pockets for keeping your hands warm.
5. How should I store this jacket during summer? Store it in a breathable garment bag with a wooden hanger in a cool, dry place to protect the wool fibers from moisture and moths.
