Dickies lists 11.5 oz cotton duck, but there are no under-collar snaps for a hood.
Carhartt Detroit Jacket: You want quilted-lined sleeves, the option to snap on a hood, a Tall or 5XL size, or the original Detroit Jacket itself.
Dickies Blanket Lined Duck: You want the duck-and-blanket-lining build for everyday wear, fit sizes S to 4XL, and don't need a hood.
Almost. Dickies lists an 11.5 oz 100% cotton duck shell, and the Carhartt Detroit Jacket uses 12-ounce 100% ring-spun cotton duck, per Dungarees and Fullsource. Both have a blanket-lined body; only the Carhartt lists a quilted nylon sleeve lining.
Only the Carhartt. Dungarees lists under-collar snaps for an optional hood (style 104244), which is sold separately. Dickies doesn't list hood snaps on its Blanket Lined Duck Canvas Jacket.
The Carhartt can. It's a relaxed fit, Dungarees' average fit rating sits near the middle between runs small and runs large, and some reviewers there bought a size down. On Dickies.com, the review summary rates the Dickies jacket true to size.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. It never costs you more.
Every swap is a product sold in the US that does the main job of the original. Close match is another brand with similar features, Same brand, cheaper is an older, smaller or renewed model from the same maker, and Budget pick is the cheapest thing that still does the job. On each page, Closest match is the close match nearest the original in price, and Lowest price is the cheapest swap. We compare published specs, retailer listings and reviews; we don't test products ourselves.
A cheaper product is cheaper for a reason. Each swap says what you give up, like weaker noise cancelling, a smaller screen or a shorter warranty, so you can decide if the savings are worth it.
Prices are typical US prices from retailer listings and price trackers, last checked October 2026. They are not live Amazon prices, which change often. When a price couldn't be confirmed, the page says “Check price on Amazon” instead of showing a number.
Amazon buttons are affiliate links: Cheaper Swap earns a small commission if you buy, at no extra cost to you. Commissions don't decide what is listed. Google AdSense may also show ads on the site.
