This is a lighter jacket than the big Carhartts. It fits very well on me, with room for layering if I need to, and I really like the cut of the jacket. It seems more modern than their bulkier stuff. The liner is soft and smooth, and makes the jacket easy to get on. Although I prefer the look of the black, I got the brown to make myself a tiny bit more visible at night.

For those that are planning to be idle in temps below, say 35, I would layer up or get a bigger coat. This coat is warm, and if you're moving around a lot it can get too warm (it's not the most breathable), but it's not the kind of coat that you can stand around in cold weather and stay comfortable. I photograph the outdoors in my spare time, which means I spend an hour sometimes not moving much, and although I like this coat a lot, it's not ideal for anything too cold or windy.

I do like the sleeves, how they have an inner liner that molds around your wrists so snow and cold doesn't get in. One way I like to wear this coat is with a beanie or if it's colder with a hoodie underneath. That gives it enough warmth, plus a hood, and doesn't add the bulk of an attached hood.

I've already received a couple compliments on it. I think the coat looks great on me and matches my slender, yet masculine stature.
