Pros: The sandstone material is built to last.  It is a good warm coat that I will wear for a barn coat.  I don't think I would wear it to town as a 'nice' coat.
Cons: The pockets are in an odd place.  It would be nice if they were still located around the waist like a regular coat.  I think it runs a little small.  I've ordered 3 coats from Carhartt this winter and medium has been perfect (even a little roomy) in the other two.  I think I'm going to have to exchange for a large in this one.  It just fits and I don't think it would be comfortable with a hoodie or sweater underneath.  I wish the shearling went the full length of the coat instead of just in the upper part.
Update:  I did have to go up a size.  This is women's coat that fits below the hips yet the coat is cut like a box with no room for the hips.  I went up a size and it fits great and will allow for a sweater underneath.
