Carhartt may be synonymous with rugged capability, but the brand also produces a variety of softer, still-capable hoodies, T-shirts, beanies and more.

Its latest hybrid outerwear combines the brand’s heritage workwear influence with a modern build and materials, resulting in a functional jacket that’s as soft as it is capable.

The Paxton Quilted Shirt Jac combines 10.2-ounce quilted fleece with a loose fit, offering warmth and easy layering. A snap-front closure makes it easy to put on and take off, while the shirt-jac silhouette gives it a versatile look that works well beyond the job site.

Designed for everything from workdays to weekend DIY projects, the Paxton looks soft and comfortable but offers utility in both obvious and less-visible ways.

That utility comes in the form of multiple pockets for keeping essentials close at hand, along with the brand’s proprietary Rain Defender water-repellent technology, which helps moisture bead and roll off the fleece fabric.

While this is a women’s-specific style, the size range extends from XS to 3XL, giving a wide variety of body sizes and shapes the opportunity to find a comfortable fit in this versatile shacket.
