Carhartt vs Cabelas vs Walls....best work coat

[Garandman]

I think they are sized to be worn over layers! Also have an XL Tall.

Look forward to your review. I've been considering that jacke

Wore it today to cut down a leaner and buck it. One nice thing about it is that although it doesn't have the pleated shoulder gussets like me the Army, it is cut for very free arm movement. Also it has a nice heavy zipper and will unzip at the bottom as well.

Not insulated but LL Bean has produced a durable field coat for many years. Not insulated.

If the Beene coat was insulated it might be good.

I just gave my Active Jacket (J130) to my son and I'm looking for options to replace it.
Two things about that C26 is no hood and the front outside pockets are not insulated.

How was it in the cold?

When working outside in the cold I typically wear coveralls. I have a set from Carhartt and a set from Walls. The Carhartt's are warmer and heavier duty than the Walls.

Understood but that is true of most serious outerwear and the Carhartt sizing is just bigger than typical. I can wear an entire extra coat as well as sweater etc under mine and it is still roomy. No knock on the product but if you intend to purchase online it might be a good idea to order two sizes and plan to return one. I take advantage of the oversizing by using it only when it's cold enough to justify wearing a down sweater or jacket under the Carhartt. Great for snowblowing during a nor'easter. Not so great for walking in 32 degree or higher weather or as a car coat. I tend to wear mine only when I need to put on Sorel boots as well. Rarely wear it except in Jan/Feb in New England.

I have their Canyon coat which is probably the warmest they make. Men's Canyon Coat / Brushed Poly Quilt Lined 11683 | Carhartt It is tough, looks great and is very warm. Tons of pockets and man sized zippers. Only beef is that their sizing is off. I am a big guy (6'5" 230) and usually take XL tall sizes. In Carhartt sizing I feel like a midget in their XL tall and should have ordered the L instead. I still use the jacket and it is very comfortable but do be aware that Carhartt sizing is a bit screwy.

That's the same jacket I have it just took me 11 months of work to get it free!.

Look forward to your review. I've been considering that jacket.
