I tried on a lot of Carhartt coats.  I really wanted the durabilty of a Carhartt coat; but a lot of them didn't fit right.  A lot of them were too big in the shoulders and too long in the sleeves.  And I am big-chested, broad-shouldered guy.  The style of this Jefferson coat might be it's biggest selling point.  Very nice fitting; nice looking coat without the flash of today ski coats.  All the functionality and warmth you will need.  Looks and feels very well made and durable.
