This is 2nd favourite work jacket. I'm an HVAC technician in Toronto and wear this as my winter jacket. I'm 5'11", 175lbs with an athletic build and broad shoulders. I ordered medium which is what I usually wear for jackets, especially winter jackets as I prefer a fit that's not too baggy. This fits more like a large as I can easily layer with my Carhartt heavy weight rain defender hoody without feeling restricted while working, yet I can still wear the jacket with only a t-shirt and it doesn't look oversized. Even if it wasn't for work I wouldn't size down. I wore it working outdoors today in -13C and it kept me very warm with a t-shirt and medium zip up cotton sweater underneath. Don't feel like I'll need to wear it with my heavy weight hoody until around -20C or so and that's only if I'd be working outdoors a fair bit. The length is great as well and fits like a "tall" for some other Carhartt jackets, in particular the Full-Swing line. My only minor complaint with this jacket is that the side pockets could've been deeper. They're certainly wide enough but not ideal for storing stuff like your phone if you're being active. Not a huge deal for me.

Bought the coat for my son. I have the same coat that I bought several years ago. It's a good coat. What's not good is that it's not made in America like it once was but still has a higher price as if it was. The quality of Carhartt has gone down hill over the years. Any one item in many cases is made in several different countries so you never know the exact quality of any Carhartt item. I find products that were once exclusively made in America and than sold out and are made elsewhere a disgrace to hard working Americans that supported the brand because it was a good quality. More importantly these products were made here. I'd gladly pay more for Carhartt if it was made here supporting American jobs. They however don't and I don't ever plan on buying anything from Carhartt again. I always tell others to do the same.

I have 2 of your original J130-M, but the new UPDATE with the different interior lining is a big disappointment. I didn't notice the word update in the description when I ordered from your website. It needs to be in all upper case letters so customers will know of this change. The pictures show the original material, not the slick interior lining. I really like Carhartt clothing. I am a rancher and was beginning to wear my second J130 out and was ordering another one for next fall and winter. The cloth lining is very comfortable and warmer feeling than the updated slick lining you replaced it with. Please consider going back to the other lining. Thank you for allowing me to share my opinion and feedback. BTW the original J130 was definitely a 5 STAR!

This is a nice coat. I misplaced my other (model #14806) and had to get another one fast. This new one is model #J130-M. It is as it says a lose fit. Compared it's longer and a tad bulkier. That's OK. It isn't warmer. I don't know if that's because of the lining or not. The other model has a thicker cloth quilt. This has like a slick material. That's my description. I don't do fabrics. That said the pockets and zipper are great. I don't like the way the cord is for the hood. They shouldn't have changed it. Also they went cheap with the Carhart logo by having the square cloth and not the vinyl as they used to be. You will love the cuffs. The coat arms cover the cuffs and that I really like because the cuffs go into the gloves and sleeves somewhat go over the gloves. Those that wear a hard hat will love the hood for it is very bulky. To bulky for a ball cap. I have farm neighbors that like this color as well as others but it seems that most stores here in Eastern Nebraska push the ugly light brown. They will be forced to order on line as I did to get a different color. If you are military or first responder use it. That was a nice choice to order this online to get the 15% discount. Ordering online is a bummer because I had to return the first one because it was to big. As it states , its a lose fit. I always wear a XL to cover my steak/beer gut and with this I needed a L. Customer service was very prompt and easy to work with in returning
