Carhartt keeping america warm! - Carhartt Rutland Thermal-Lined Hooded Zip-Front Sweatshirt - Mens

I have bought this jacket for years. This jacket is, apparently, slightly different than previous ones. This jacket is somehow water-resistant. I don't like changes. The fact of the matter is that my old jacket which has been laundered many times would be saturated after a two-minute downpour. I took this new jacket outside which has not been laundered and stood in a semi-torrential rain for several minutes and, after reentering the house, and shaking the rain off of the jacket, noted that the jacket was not even damp inside. Impressive. How this jacket will fare following years of use and laundering remains to be seen. The other comment I would make is that beside the normal Carhartt label on the jacket pocket, Carhartt has attached dark ink transfer-type logo indicating that the jacket is water repellent on the lower sleeve. While nearly invisible, I don't like to be an advertiser unless I want to wear advertising clothing.
