Carhartt Men’s Relaxed Fit Sherpa-Lined Jacket

I love this coat!! This is the first Sherpa lined coat I have ever owned. It is unbelievably soft, warm, and EXTREMELY comfortable. 10/10 I would recommend to others. This is my new favorite winter coat, hands down. I wish I could have bought one years ago.

I have owned one other Carhartt jacket in the past, and it lasted YEARS with heavy use and abuse. So, when I decided to buy a new winter coat, I knew which brand to choose. Carhartt.

Believe the hype. There’s a reason why they are one of the most popular work wear clothing brands on the market.

My 6’6 300lbs bf complained he needed a new work jacket; I’ll tell you, Carhart NEVER fails for big guys like him. True to size; Its soft on the inside and durable on the outside, the warmth it gives absolutely helps with our harsh winters!
10/10

I have been looking at getting a durable outerwear jacket for a few years now. After trying on my son’s Medium J130 (also from Carhartt) I got to trying on jackets from a few makers, including some pretty good, lower-priced offerings here on Amazon. My son’s J130 is more loose-fitting than this relaxed-fit sherpa-lined jacket, but both keep you very warm in cool and cold, as well as windy weather. Neither are waterproof. This Medium-Regular (not Tall) Sherpa-Lined Relaxed fit coat is longer in the back, and fits over the waist on me. I am 5′ 10″ ~200 pounds with a 35-inch waist, and this fits me much better than the J130. The hood volume, and arm and body length are all perfectly placed on me. Be aware that while the sleeves have storm cuffs, there is no waist cinch or cuff on this coat, so some people might have body heat leaks there. Everything seems very well constructed. The zipper is smooth and easy to engage, dye on the outer fabric is even and saturated, and the sherpa lining is in the hood and body, while quilted polyester is in the sleeves, which makes putting it on easy without grabbing any garments you might have on underneath. The front outer pockets have full flannel lining, and the inner and outer storage pockets are large and zippered. It breathes well, so I don’t feel overheated in it. I wore it around the house for a day before deciding that I wanted to keep it, and never got too hot in it. The lower-priced ones I tried from other makers were good, and more than worth their price, but they were not up to the quality of this jacket.

Fit was great, style was awesome, front pockets are comfy and hood is super warm.

It was time to retire my old Dickies I’ve been wearing for the last 9 years. I work 13 hour shifts overnight in a big warehouse in the pacific nw that gets pretty cold inside at night during winter (about 30-40F) and I like to take my breaks outside in fresh air. Temperature gets as low as 20F in winter and I wanted a jacket that would keep me warm for this range while allowing for moderate work activity without having to take it off for overheating (as my Dickies allowed)
I chose this Carhartt because it looked a lot like my Dickies but I wanted an upgrade as well in build quality. The Carhartt warmth rating system mentions nothing about temperatures, just 1 to 4 (warm to extreme)
I guessed 4 (extreme) to be near zero to sub zero Temps which I’ve never experienced here so I crossed that off the list.
This jacket is rated 3 warmest. I guessed it would fall right into the range I was looking at (20-50F) with some light-moderate activity.
It was just above 50F the day this was delivered. Let me tell you now, this jacket is super warm and comfy. I put it on and thought yeah this could work. I took it out for a grocery run and get a better feel for it. Just wandering around the store for10 minutes I could feel the heat on my back building (just had a t-shirt on underneath) felt like I was getting slow roasted. Carhartt does not kid around when it comes to keeping you warm. I wonder what their extreme rated jackets can do…
Long story short I already own a jacket that fills the job this one does so I’m returning it and am going to try the Bartlett warmth rated 2 (warmer) instead. Will post a review on that when I get it. Carhartt, seriously great quality.
