Carhartt Flame Resistant Duck Coat, XL

I didn’t need the fireproof aspect but I do grind, smoke, and work on cars on occasion. I burn more clothes working, through winter, in my garage next to my propane heater then anything. More or less bought it for durability, warmth and because the seams and pockets are pretty stylish but still manly. In my opinion, It’s the perfect balance of style and practicality. That’s hard to find these days. There’s something very John Wayne/firefighter/gunfighter about the look which is why I pulled the trigger. :) I live in the Midwest and upon arrival this jacket is plenty warm for working outdoors. Added to a base layer and a heavy weight hoodie you’ll be sweating and anything more and you’d be sweating and then freezing. Maybe it’s not warm enough for sitting still in a Midwest tree stand in January but plenty warm for active use. You ain’t wearing it inside long that’s for sure. Anyways, listen to the mass: Make sure you size down. I did and honestly still have plenty of room for a heavy weight hoodie. Arm pocket rocks too! Everyone says the zipper sucks but it’s metal and it seams okay to me upon first arrival.
