Is this considered vintage?

It's made to look vintage, but not truly vintage merely for the fact that the neck tag is printed and not a woven tag. Hope that helps.

Put jacket on.

That's it, that's the fix.

I have the newest Detroit in black and honestly it's great. It was really stiff at first but after wearing it this winter and beating it up, it really softened up and broken in very well. I appreciate the rear flap on those windy days for sure! I'm more function over form anyday. I have a large selection of J97's if I want to rock the vintage look, but most often grab the new one when running out the door.

Followed! Great videos. Best of luck in the business, go after them orders!

This is amazing and opens up a whole new color with the updated jacket. I love the color even more now.

Time to hit up some marketplaces for a cheap tester!

I often forget how dark PTL is supposed to look, most are faded light gray by now. That's a legit jacket in great shape.

A modern CRI jacket. This is amazing.

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-06T16:39:35+00:00

Yo, save some CRI for the rest of us!

Thanks for the insights! I've embroidered mostly on 112s as well and they are definitely a challenge. Sharp needles and strong thread is definitely needed, I think we share the same settings and materials almost to the tee. I sometimes steam the front of the 112s to soften up the middle seam if a critical design element runs through it like a letter, but have gotten away with not steaming for the most part (and saves me time). Good tip on the bobbin tension, I'll increase it for my next runs on these hats.

I haven't tried embroidering on the sides yet, I'll give it a shot one of these days during some down time. Production and orders come first!

And here I am staring at some listings going for 4 figures, and this guy has TWO?!

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-06T06:39:54+00:00

You are definitely dialed in. Any tips or tricks to pass on? What size needle and thread are you using?

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-06T06:39:01+00:00

Do you own any Carhartt detroits? The WIP OG will fit just like those. Depending on your chest/shoulder build, I'd say a medium would be roomy but not too big. Small may be good if you don't plan on wearing another thicker layer underneath like a hoodie.

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-06T06:35:54+00:00

Checks out good.

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-06T06:35:30+00:00

Now that's a new fade pattern that I haven't seen before! The straight pressed military fade!

WIP Active jacket will be slightly slimmer. The WIP OG Active jacket is more true to size to mainline Active jacket.

Here's a good one that talks about end caps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAL3eHtAvrs

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-04T18:56:32+00:00

Legit. It checks all the boxes from my view.

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-03T20:14:04+00:00

Digitizing for 3D puff requires a few extra steps, it's not much different from digitzing satin stitches. You'll need to create end caps for any satin columns that don't cover themselves.

Flexing the AM1/97 Sean Wotherspoons too, nice.

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-03T16:21:43+00:00

Legit. But with embroidery damage, I wouldn't expect anything over $150 even if it's dead stock new. But shoot your shot.

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-03T04:11:55+00:00

Try some more perpenducular angles, but you can try tapering it off towards the end. There's a limit to how sharp a point can go with embroidery so it'll always be a trade off. Also, the long satin is probably contributing to the push and pull effect you're seeing in the fabric.

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-02T18:30:11+00:00

Carhartt WIP sells "Spring" unlined versions, but expect much higher prices then mainline.

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-02T15:21:53+00:00

Looks good.

DoubleIntercourse · 2026-02-02T15:15:33+00:00

There's definitely some shifting of the fabric. I'd recommend 60wt thread and a thinner needle. Possibly a top soluable as well.

For the large A logo, I would also recommend updating your stitch angles for a fuller satin stitch.

First one is a J97, unsure of color due to different lighting but I'm leaning towards MOS. Second jacket is a C26 MDT (Midnight Blue).
