Carhartt FAQs
How does Carhartt® sizing run?
Carhartt® products are full cut for more freedom of movement and a comfortable
fit. Order your Carhartt® products in your actual, correct size. Most Carhartt®
coats and jackets are in numeric sizes (42, 44, 46, etc.) instead of alpha (L,
XL, etc.). This changes chest sizes every 2" instead of every 4" for
a better fit.
How much will Carhartt® shrink after washing?
This workwear is oversized enough to counteract normal laundering shrinkage.
Sizing should be accurate after washing. If you prefer your workwear loose fitting,
go ahead and order the next size.
Should I order a larger size if I layer other garments underneath?
Yes. Layering is a very effective way to stay warm but it also means you need
a larger size to accommodate the extra clothing underneath. We suggest measuring
your size while you wear the undergarments you plan to use.
What is the difference between a regular and tall size? How
do I know if I should order a regular or a tall?
We recommend the following. If you are 5'7" to 5'11" order a regular
size. People from 5'11" to 6'3" need a tall. Tall sizes run 2 inches
longer in the body and 2 inches longer in the sleeve.
What are the temperature ratings for Carhartt®?
Carhartt® products do not have temperature ratings (-10 to +40 degrees for
example) because their workwear is almost always used in combination with other
layers of clothing. Arctic grade is the thickest and warmest.Click here

Can Carhartt® garments be repaired?
Yes, Carhartt® workwear can be repaired. Jobs like replacing zippers or
buttons are done at the factory. We recommend you contact Carhartt® directly
by calling 1-800-833-3118. They will help make arrangements for your repair.

Is there a difference between Prewashed and Sandstone?
Prewashed is denim material that is washed by the manufacturer and Sandstone
is cotton duck material that is micro-sanded and washed by the manufacturer.
This gives both garments a softer feel compared to unwashed. Click here
