Carhartt Men's Sandstone Sierra Jacket X-Large Tall

This jacket is great. I love it. I recommend not buying one on-line until you have tried one on in person. The sizes in the different products are different. For example in the "active jac" the M is super huge and the small is perfect, while in the "sierra" the small is too small and the M is perfect. Most stores don't carry anything smaller then L, so finding one in a store is nearly impossible. After going to many stores I finally found examples of every size, although in bizarre or undesirable colors, which gave me confidence to buy one on-line.

I needed a warm, well made coat for the winters in North Florida. I know, I know...you say it doesn't get cold in North Florida. Well, it was 21 degrees the other morning! Anyways, on to the review.

I've always heard that Carhartt clothing was built to survive damn near anything and warm as well. After researching many coats with so-called 'techno' features I decided on the Sierra Jacket. I couldn't be more happy.

Even though the jacket is made in Mexico, Carhartt keeps their quality control in line. The stitching and seams are top-rate. The 'duck' material is very stiff and quite resistant to the elements. The two interior pockets are a nice feature. One pocket has a velcro closure and the other has a zipper. The interior of the jacket, as well as the hood are sherpa lined. Sherpa is a synthetic wool type material to keep in warmth. The jacket is very warm and quite comfy.

One feature that really impressed me is the size of the outer zipper...Read more

Bought this coat for our grandson as he begins his career as a deep water diver. He needed a warm coat suitable for "work": cold days on board a ship with wind blowing cold trips back and forth by helicopter, etc. The thing is, our grandson has been "addicted" to clothing from Abercrombie & Fitch" and other such overpriced clothing stores. and he LOVES this coat. It has the "cool factor" he so wants. The look of the sanded duck material plus the sherpa lining make it the broken in look and feel he likes. And the brown color must be the in thing. I like it because it will probably keep him warm. It's a good buy.
