Carhartt Detroit duck jacket, brown, size large

The brown duck canvas Detroit jacket is the Carhartt style resellers look for, helped along by workwear trends. Made-in-USA examples with a sound blanket lining and clean cuffs sit at the top of the range; frayed, faded ones still sell but for much less.

Estimated resale range (used)

$50 – $130

A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it

  • Check the inside tag for the style name and country of manufacture; USA-made examples bring more.
  • Look at the cuffs, elbows and hem for fraying and holes, since heavy wear cuts the price sharply.
  • Test the front zipper and check that the blanket lining is intact and not separating at the seams.

Where the number comes from

Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.

Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
