Carhartt Women's Shoreline Jacket - Water-Resistant Work Jacket for Outdoor Activities (Regular & Plus Sizes) | Perfect for Hiking, Camping & Construction Work

Ordered XXL (I normally wear XL) in black. While I could have gone down to the XL, I’m glad I got the XXL so I can wear sweatshirts & heavy fleece under it. Also, I prefer things a little loose anyway.Get this coat! It’s worth every penny. The way it’s constructed, I should get many years out of it.What I love:1.) Arms are just right both in width & length.2.) Fits great across my shoulders & chest. I don’t feel restricted.3.) It’s longer in the back so covers my bum.4.) It zips and buttons!5.) The material feels substantial. It’s some sort of canvas, yet it’s not stiff.6,) The hood isn’t just for looks.. it actually works.. and it’s detachable. Though I don’t see the need to detach it since it lays flat.7.) Pockets! Pockets everywhere!8.) It’s dressy enough that I can wear it to the office, yet rugged enough to also wear on the field.9.) It does have thumb hole sleeves, but they aren’t stiff and can easily be pushed back into the sleeves when you don’t want to use them & they’re not in the way.10.) It’s a raincoat. A very cool looking & functional rain coat. But also a winter coat, I think. I will wear a fleece under it during the winter.What I don’t like about it:1.) Nothing. I don’t have a bad thing to say about this coat!Thank you, Carhartt, for making clothes for us ladies!UPDATE: Three years later..I'm still in love with this coat and wear it near daily during the fall, winter and spring months here in Texas. While it is not a winter coat per se, you can layer fleece under it and still use it as a winter coat. Why? Because the outside does a fantastic job blocking not only rain, but wind, too! Surprisingly, Texas gets more wind than anyplace else I've been and it cuts through you. However, wearing this coat? Not a problem! You stay warm and toasty.I've also washed it several times (hung to dry - no dryer) and it's held up just like new.Thinking about buying another color. Really want the green one, but it's out of stock. Please restock and I'll buy it! :)
