A favorite among Northwesterners, KAVU's Ketch-a-can Jacket keeps you warm for work and play. Ultra-durable FORCE 10 canvas on the outside hides a comfy Wickster mesh lining while the fleece collar and cuffs seal warmth in where you need it - close to your core.

Features:

  • As strong as your grandpa's favorite work jacket, FORCE 10 canvas uses a strong cotton weave to trap warmth
  • Show some style with the antiqued brass zippers and rivets
  • Smooth and warm, the Rock'n Fleece faced collar and cuffs hold heat close
  • Stay cool and comfortable in the Wickster mesh lining
  • Store your artwalk map in the stylized front chest pocket or lower, welted zippered pockets

The Kavu Men's Ketch-a-can Jacket might have a utilitarian, tough appearance, but under the collar and cuffs lies some very soft fleece. This means your chin, neck, and wrists can luxuriate in fuzzy, secret warmth. Kavu made the Ketch-a-can Jacket with comfortable cotton fabric and antique-brass zippers and rivets. Throw this casual jacket on over a sweater or long-sleeve shirt in the fall.

Great jacket

Rating:****
I bought this to use as a chore coat in the shop and around the house and to wear when going out for some casual activities when it ain't too dirty as well as some short treks in the woods and on the trails around Bellingham. It seems to me that that the sizing runs a little too big, but its not a big problem to me (yet). The zipper on mine sticks a little, and the collar doesn't like being turned down much. Overall, I like this jacket a lot, and will definitely buy another one if/when this one wears out.

Score one for Kavu

Rating:****

I was looking for a decent coat for fall/spring weather that had that "utility feel". This coat definitely fills that slot nicely. The mesh lining inside paired with the study canvas cloth outer makes this the perfect weight coat for fall when its still warm in the day but cold at night.

I agree that the zippers are flimsy, but the faux fur lining is warm and soft. The fit is good, perfect for a hoodie underneath.

I got the "pyrite" color, their new khaki. Its darker than in the pictures, very similar to Carhart's standard issue khaki color.

Perfect jacket!

Rating:*****
Kavu is a one of a kind. And this jacket is classic Kavu. I love how rugged, yet stylish, it is. It's fashionable while being as good at surviving the roughest wear and tear. I own a fair amount of Kavu and this ranks right at the top of my favorites! One note--my experience with Kavu outergarments is they run slightly large (I guess for layering). So take that into consideration depending on what you're going to use it for.

Great Jacket - I bought this jacket for something in the spring and ended up wearing it all winter. I live in Wisconsin and our winters have gotten to -20 with some incredibly terrible wind to go with it and just wearing this with a hoodie beneath it kept me very warm, this is by far my favorite jacket.

Fit was nice, zippers were a little flimsy (the outer zippers were metal, but the inner one was smaller and cheap plastic). I liked the multiple pockets. The fleece lining was very warm. Not too crazy about the ORANGE stitches... I think white or black would've been my preference. ( I bought the black jacket)

Daily Jacket

Rating:*****

This jacket is amazing. The material is awesome and the fit is good. If you're skinny, then you have more than enough room to rock a hoody under this jacket and it'll still fit great. I can't say enough good things about this jacket. I love it so much I bought a second one.

Rating:*****

This jacket is not only well constructed, it's as comfortable as silk underwear and has gotten more compliments from women than I can count. No joke. Just the right amount of urban "that guy" mixed with lumberjack. Not a jacket for anorexic indies or pointy-shoe metrosexuals. Trust me. Magnet. Do it. I got black.

Negative Reviews:

Poor Quality

Rating:**

The picture of this jacket looks nice, but it turns out there's a reason they sell it for 80 bucks. It's like a poorly made carhartt jacket. It's also cut big, so if this will only fit bigger people.
