O.k where to begin. I had a car hart field jacket years ago but somehow , some way it became self aware and left me. (Man I loved that jacket) ... Anyhow, I was in the market for a new one but have a love for anything Duluth Trading so I got their duck style jacket. .... totally a buyers remorse thing. Pocket zippers set to shred/purée mode on the backs of your hands and the neckline clearly set and sewn in place for giraffes or elk perhaps. All other facets of it were excellent.So Carhartt time again it is. Being “festively built” or “extra reservist” if you will, things fit rather disproportionately at a NFL linebacker weight class in a Horse jockeys height. This info is important if you are not chiseled out of a block of titanium awesome but rather pounded into a mold and underdone a bit. For instance shirt size for me is 2xLT in just about any brand OTHER than Deluth Trading which is XLT (both in “tall”) which is ironic being .... well NOT tall lol. I chose XL regular remembering my last one being a bit roomy. Sleeve length is perfect , overall length ideal and chest spot on with room for layers underneath. I need not go into construction or features as it is after all in the description or even *gasp* their website (I know crazy right). The figment of where your arms enter on down the sleeves is roomy so you don’t get that restrictive “tight across the back” feel when arms are crossed or reaching.Well enough rambling , please don’t forget to like , subscribe.... oh wait that’s something else.I hope this helped you out in a clear as mud way???Shoulder width 47inChest 41.5inFinger Tips to Armpit 26inWaist 37inTypically, my coat/jacket size is large. I ordered a large and it was enormous. I reordered a medium and that fits well. In my case, I'm still able to layer with the coat fitting nicely.What I like:- Tough outer shell- Sherpa lining is soft and warm- Outer pockets are lined- You can tighten the coat at about waist level for a snug fit- Main zipper is sturdy and easy to grab with gloves on- Comfortable- Two inside pockets. One zippered, one velcro.- Looks good- Pricing is great for the quality of the construction (imo)- Not made in China (it's made in Mexico)What I don't like:- Sizing. Seriously, which population of people are they using for their sizing? I'm assuming a race of giant Nordic men that rode the T-Rex like horses and went extinct many eons ago.- I don't like the velcro on one of the inside pockets.This coat feels high quality. Only time will tell but, I'm betting this coat will take a lot of abuse and last a long time. The pricing is great for what you get. I've spent a lot more money on other coats and those other coats don't feel as durable as this one. As many people have commented, order a size down. I'm extremely happy with this purchase and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, nice looking coat.Really love the style look/ fit of this carhartt jacket. Bought it for my son. It's really well made.. A very strong jacket. Nice thick solid material but not stiff & rough.. it's soft and the inner sherpa lining is ultra soft. Like all of carhartts attire/products this jacket will easily last a lifetime. Never have to worry about getting wet in the rain or cold in the snow. I've been searching and watching waiting for the light brown to become available in size L but it's been several SEVERAL months and still nothing. I recently a notification that the dark brown (Sandstone C61) had become available so i quickly bought it. My son is very happy with it. He's tall, has long arms, a long torso, broad shoulders, broad chest, and is physically fit (bulky). The jacket fits him perfectly. The length is exactly as described.. comfortably fits his chest & arms giving him free movement. It's not loose or baggy nor tight and restrictive. Fits great at the waist area. Just an all around really great jacket at an even better price. As soon as the lighter brown becomes available in the same style.. if it ever does I'll purchase that one for him also. Not that he needs both jackets as just the one will last forever but it's always nice to have a variety of colors to choose from.I work construction and Carhartt is my go to when looking for a jacket. First off, I listened to all the other reviewers who said to buy a size down and that was a mistake. I'm 6' 195 lbs and wear a large in everything, the first jacket I ordered was a medium. While the lengths was spot on, it was way too constrictive to the point of uncomfortable. And there was no way I was going to be able to wear a sweatshirt or hoodie underneath either. Returned the medium and got a large and it fit perfectly. As far as people saying that the shoulders and chest are too bulky...well yea...its a work coat. This is not the coat your going to wear out to a fancy dinner or a wedding, its for working in. Its designed to allow you to move freely, especially in the shoulders and chest, while you work.This coat is replacing my old Arctic Quilt lined jacket that lasted me 6 years (which I still have and wear sometimes, but the cuffs had torn on both sleeves). I would say this is just as warm as the Quilt, keeps the cold and the wind out during the Northeast winters. My only complaints are that the pockets don't seem deep enough and its a bit too long past the waist and makes it hard to access the pockets of your jeans.All in all, you can't beat a Carhartt.This coat has so many positives going for it, but for me there is one negative.... I am a medium and this jacket in medium is way too large in the shoulder. The sleeves are 33/34 which is fine for me, and although is large enough throughout (it should be as it's a work jacket), the shoulders are just too big....Nice coat with lots of room for layers underneath. Body feels boxy, as does the shoulder area - this is to allow for movement and/or layering, I assume. The whole thing does pull up if you reach overhead. The sleeve length is great. Given the cut, I would call this a "dead-of-winter" coat. It is already pretty warm and it fits quite large on it's own, but fits better when it is piled on top of a few layers.It does not fit like the images shown.I'm 5,10" and ordered large and it fits perfect. Im 185lbs. Shoulders are a bit wide but it's also stuff new and they will say down. I previously wore the tall version at work and it was to long. This size is perfect. Leaves a bit of room for a hoody if needed.This is the 2nd Carhartt I've owned, and they are absolutely bulletproof. As other people have mentioned, it fits a little large, but that is entirely for layering. They're extremely durable, very well made, and very warm.The 2xl fit perfectly. The shoulders are wide, but in our case it works since he has very large shoulders. Great quality. An excellent jacket.
