I have had bought Carhartt workwear before and have not been disappointed. This Jacket is tough, functional, and looks good. I expected this to just be another mid weight jacket to keep me warm when it was cool outside, but this jacket kept me warm when I was in 28 degree weather. The Jacket is very stiff when you buy it, but that is because it is work wear for a working man. If you want soft and fluffy buy Columbia or LL Bean. This jacket was made for keeping you warm and to be tough.
UPDATE 12/12/2015
I have bought another one of these because I have lost quite a bit a weight. The first one was a 4XLTall, I have since gone down to a 2XLTall... Besides the smaller size NOTHING HAS CHANGED ABOUT THIS JACKET! STILL keeps me warm with 28 degree weather with a wind chill that was so cold that ICE was actually forming on the jacket, but IT STILL KEPT ME WARM!!! quality is better than Dickies (I know because I own a similar style Dickies coat)
