I bought this coat for the winter months after searching through carhartts massive coat selection. Overwhelmed by their options for women’s bodies (that are often increeedibly unflattering and/or uncomfortable) I figured shopping from a business who KNOWS how to make form fitting, comfortable women’s workwear clothes was a better choice. Personally, even now in spring I am so in love with the way this coat looks on me, feels on me and everything about it makes me feel like a badass. Sadly, I got a large amount of industrial paint on the front of it and it looks tragic now...but I’m thinking about purchasing it again because I know I won’t regret it. TLDR; if you are even contemplating buying this coat- do it now. 🖤

It fits great, even over my large breasts and belly. The fabric is thinner than I was expecting. I am familiar w waxed canvas and was expecting that, not the thinner cotton. That being said it is soft and a frat spring jacket. It is water proof due the waxed coating.

Overall this jacket allows for a good range of motion, even if you have broad shoulders. The back upper panels of the jacket have gussets to extend your range of motion when stretching your arms forwards. Personally, I would like these gussets to be a bit deeper to allow for even less restriction, but if you don't have particularly broad shoulders, you'll be fine.

However, one criticism I have is that only the torso of the jacket is lined with cotton. The sleeves are not lined, and as a result this jacket is only suitable for early fall temperatures before your arms start getting cold. The sleeves themselves are not designed to be roomy, so if you have muscular arms, you will not be able to layer up more than a long sleeve shirt underneath it.

Overall, this is a decent jacket for casual wear and manual labor, but the lack of lined sleeves restrict the span of time you can wear it in cooler weather.

Beautifully constructed, clearly made from quality material, well fitted and not vanity sized at all. Definitely if you’re on the fence about getting this or not, do it you won’t regret it.

I'm 5'10", 145lbs and the Medium fits perfectly. The sleeves hit right at my wrist bone, and the hem hits just above the fullest part of my hips. The olive is a rich color that is much closer to a dark forest green than olive or juniper. It actually reminds me of wet pine needles or the skin of an avocado.

The shell is soft right out of the bag, but feels like it's durable enough to take some brambles without showing it, and the lining already feels like my partner's flannel.

I already love this jacket, and I've only had it a few days!
