I'd like to throw in another endorsement for this jacket. The fit & finish, as well as the classic design, make this my new favorite coat. I bought the black version and it came with a beautiful, fire engine red flannel liner that's very warm and comfortable. It comes with two generous inside pockets - the left one with a velcro closure and the right one with a zipper closure. Stitchery and attention to detail are first rate. I'm 6' 2" and a 38" waist and the Large fits perfectly. The outer shell is a little stiff, but that just tells me the material is dense and will probably be very durable. Well done Carhartt.
Phil in Oklahoma writes....The flannel lining is perfect for northern Oklahoma winters. On days with 30 to 50 degrees it keeps you comfortable with just a shirt. Add a Hoodie underneath and you are good down to 5 below. The canvas resists tearing on barbed wire, the zipper is heavy duty and trouble free, and it gives good freedom of movement for riding and roping. These are "the nuts" for winter cowboying. With everyday use it will last at least 2 winters until the canvas starts to fray. The blanket lining is a little too light, and the heavy black lining is too hot for long days when the temperature warms.
