First I will state that I do love this jacket, but there is one down side buyers NEED to be aware of - this is sized much larger than the standard Carhartt product. I own a Carhartt thermal-lined hoody and Arctic-Quilt Lined Sandstone Jacket - both in Large (Regular, not tall).

However when I ordered a Large Regular (not tall) size of this jacket, when I received it, it was sized more like an XL tall. The sleeves went well beyond my extended fingertips and the chest/belly area was way oversized. I threw on on my Large carhartt thermal-lined hoody under this Jacket just to see if I was losing my mind - I wasn't. I was still swimming in it. (Note: I'm 6ft tall, 175lbs guy)

I returned this product and got the exact same jacket, however in a size medium (regular, not tall). The Jacket is still a little long for my taste (extends 1" beyond wrist), I still like the fit overall, and the buttons on the wrist allow you to close up the cuff on the wrist so the cuffs don't slide past your wrists. Amazon was out-freaking-standing with the return process though - I put in the "return request" online on Tuesday night at 6pm and requested a medium size & I had the NEW jacket in size medium on Wednesday night at 6pm in my hand, delivered by UPS (24 hours...improved my confidence in ordering other products).

The jacket repels rain well enough, but it's not a raincoat. The interior is soft/comfortable and the interior sleeves allow for cotton/fleece/etc sleeves of other layers to slide through easily. A serious selling point for me, as I have to put-on and remove layers constantly for work while going inside and outside. This jacket has the durable cloth feeling of the main jacket & stitching as my much more expensive Artic/Sandstone coat that was $150 or so. Alone, this jacket is good for 35-40+ F. degree weather. With a hoody/vest or other underlayer, this jacket could (and will for me) become a replacement winter coat - especially if you don't like the large, bulky Artic/Sandstone coats that don't allow you to sit in a car or chair comfortably without fidgeting with it.

I really enjoy that the Carhartt logo is on the bottom portion of the jacket as opposed to the left chest. I don't mind showing the Carhartt logo, I love the products - but it makes this jacket more acceptable when I need to dress a little more professionally for work (not like a construction worker) or when I want to wear it out casually.
