The perfect work coat/camp coat, March 27, 2010
This review is from: Carhartt Men's Sherpa Lined Sandstone Jackson Coat (Apparel)
I absolutely love this coat. It's tough and wears like iron. I'm 6'1'', 195 lbs and got the large. I wear a 34 1/2 inch sleeve in dress shirts and didn't get the long. It's a great fit. Very roomy and I wear a vest underneath for extra warmth. Sherpa lining is the best for warming up quick. The canvas shell provides great wind deflection and can be waterproofed with CampDry sprays or the like. Loads of pockets - two inside (one zippered, one velcro), two zippered pockets on the chest, two big velcro pockets on the front bottom, and two handwarmer pockets behind those(which - had they lined them would be even better). The sleeves are insulated and lined with polyester - pretty standard. The coat has good heft to it, and the quality and durability are evident the first time you put it on. I like that the zipper- it is the kind with one zipper coming from the bottom and one from the top, so you can make adjustments there if you'd like. The back of the coat comes down a little bit, so it provides some good cover over the seat. The cuffs are ribbed and recessed behind the canvas sleeve, so you don't see them, and they actually make it easier to take the coat off - the sleeves don't grab on to your arm and turn inside out as much. Another feature is that inside is a little cinch around the waist that you can tighten to help keep some of the cold out (since it's not an elastic waist). I work with horses in Utah and have been using this during the winter for camping, riding, working around the pasture etc. It's the exact coat I was looking for. I was even considering the Filson Tin Cloth Packer - but for the price and features, this thing is really hard to beat. If you layered underneath it, this would work pretty well for very cold conditions (UT gets pretty chilly in the mountains), although you'd probably want to treat the shell first. I'm recommending this to everyone I know.

Best coat I've ever purchased, December 23, 2010
This review is from: Carhartt Men's Sherpa Lined Sandstone Jackson Coat (Apparel)
I'll start by saying I am a coat aficionado - I have lots of winter coats that I've purchased and others that I've received from my job - this is the best coat I've ever worn for its intended purpose (i.e. being tough and warm) - lots of pockets (two vest zipper pockets on the outside, a velcro pocket on inside left, a zipper pocket on inside right, as well as the two big velcro pockets on the outside lower, and hand warmers behind those! Heavy material and a generous fit - fantastic coat for winter!

Great Coat, February 11, 2011
This review is from: Carhartt Men's Sherpa Lined Sandstone Jackson Coat (Apparel)
I originally bought the sierra jacket version which I thought was too short when I finally got it. Kept the jacket for a loaner. What I really needed this winter was something a little heavier, longer, roomier. This coat covers your backside and crotch, and is a little roomier than the jacket. It's pretty heavy and bulky. Lot's of pockets which comes in very handy. Lately, it's been very cold and windy here in SE VA, high 20s to lower 30s during the day, some snow and ice. This coat keeps me toasty warm, especially if you use the hood. Manufactured in Mexico, it's very well made with quality materials. I'm very happy with it. I would highly recommend this coat for all your cold-weather chores/excursions. The dark brown is a very classy color on this coat, by the way.
