Carhartt Sizing Guide
Carhartt Men’s Size Conversion (Tops & Jackets)
Most Carhartt tops are a “Loose Fit.” We generally recommend that UK customers size down by one full size from their usual high-street brand (e.g., if you usually wear a Large in a standard UK brand, buy a Medium in Carhartt).
| Carhartt Size | Chest (Inches) | Chest (cm) | Recommended UK Build |
| Small | 34″ – 36″ | 86 – 91 cm | Slim to Athletic |
| Medium | 38″ – 40″ | 97 – 102 cm | Average Build |
| Large | 42″ – 44″ | 107 – 112 cm | Broad / Large |
| X-Large | 46″ – 48″ | 117 – 122 cm | Very Broad |
| 2X-Large | 50″ – 52″ | 127 – 132 cm | Robust Build |
Carhartt Trousers & Dungarees
Unlike the tops, Carhartt trousers tend to run True to Size at the waist, but they are cut with a wider leg for boots.
| Carhartt Waist | Fits Waist (cm) | Note on Fit |
| 30″ | 76 cm | Straight/Relaxed leg |
| 32″ | 81 cm | Straight/Relaxed leg |
| 34″ | 86 cm | Straight/Relaxed leg |
| 36″ | 91 cm | Straight/Relaxed leg |
| 38″ | 97 cm | Straight/Relaxed leg |
Carhartt Workwear: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does Carhartt workwear run true to size for UK customers?
Carhartt is a US brand and is famously generous in its sizing. Most UK customers find that Carhartt “Loose Fit” (formerly Original Fit) runs one full size larger than standard UK brands. If you usually wear a Large, we recommend ordering a Medium. Our “Relaxed Fit” items are closer to standard UK sizing but still offer plenty of room for movement.
Q: What is the difference between "Duck" canvas and standard cotton?
Carhartt’s legendary “Cotton Duck” is a heavyweight, plain-woven fabric that is much more durable than standard denim or canvas. It is snag-resistant, wind-resistant, and built to withstand the friction of a job site. While it can feel stiff when new, it softens over time while maintaining its structural integrity.
Q: Are Carhartt jackets waterproof?
It depends on the technology used. Many Carhartt items feature Rain Defender®, a durable water-repellent (DWR) coating that causes water to bead up and roll off in light rain. For 100% waterproof protection in heavy downpours, look for the Storm Defender® range, which features a breathable waterproof membrane and fully taped seams.
Q: How do I wash my Carhartt jacket without ruining the fabric?
To preserve the life of your gear, we recommend washing in cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the fibers and the water-repellent coating. Always zip up the jacket and turn it inside out before washing to protect the outer canvas. For best results, hang dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Q: Can I visit Godfreys to try on Carhartt gear before buying?
Yes! We are one of the leading Carhartt stockists in Kent. You can visit our Sevenoaks superstore to try on various sizes and fits. Our team is on hand to help you find the right garment for your trade, and you can even use our Click & Collect service to reserve your items online before you travel.
