Does this jacket look dirty?

It’s been a favourite for years. I just took it out to wear for the first time this autumn. It’s always had a vintage look and is well worn in, but I’m worried it now just looks dirty? I only wear it casually with friends but even for that I’m worried it looks kinda scruffy.

The red marks definitely make it look dirty

Agreed, that's the thing that sticks out in this picture

It's a Carhartt jacket. It would be strange if it was totally pristine

Yeahhhh…had a bit of a wine accident there! You reckon it’s too dirty then? I totally agree! In general I love the look of it and I’ll be keeping it regardless, just not sure if it’s a bit too grotty to wear in public now. It’s actually just been washed too.

Do some labor in it and the red will stand out less

the red probably stands out more because it was just washed, tbh. i love these!

Plot twist - I’m colour blind so the red is actually really hard for me to spot haha! It’s around the right side chest pocket? Also really like these, can tell they’re super comfy

You might be able to even it out a bit with hydrogen peroxide and some Dawn. Ymmv tho

I’m a proponent of resolving unattractive stains by sewing a patch in a similar color over it. Patches could also elevate the worn look

wine should be fixable with dry cleaning
