Crafted Series Duck Sherpa Lined Chore Jacket

Excellent !!!!

There is no denying this is a beautiful jacket - Carhartt should do more items in the red duck color! The vintage buttons are also a nice touch along with some other nice cosmetic details like the red thread and blue Carhartt patch. The jacket does have a certain heft to it - not quite to the levels of "old" Carhartt. Nice heavy duty YKK zipper. Upon closer inspection however, there are details in the construction that are disappointing for the price point. The crinkle collar feels odd on the jacket. I noticed several lose threads throughout the jacket and some imperfections in the duck fabric. The sherpa lining is nice, however, it is "saggy" and sewn in differently than my other Carhartt jackets where the lining seems sturdier (and these were made in India and Mexico!). While some of these complaints may be minor, they all add up to a bit of a disappointment - especially for the price point at almost $200 and when you consider Carhartt used to make many more items in the USA that were not marketed as premium products. If you are OK with these minor issues and the price the jacket is beautiful cosmetically and will likely hold up well.

I typically size down in Carhartt jackets. I live in Southern California so I don't typically need the extra space for layering heavy sweatshirts and whatnot underneath. I did the same with this jacket and it's a perfect fit. I'm 5'9 215lbs, ordered a size large. The color is what I'd call a chocolate brown, which was surprising to me but I love It! The lower pockets are understated. Although they are side entering, they feel more like top entering pockets, similar to your typical chore coat lower pocket. Inside is comfortable. I don't do construction work or anything, but I do work with commercial trucks so I'm climbing in and out of large trucks all day?I'm able to stretch and move around these trucks and driving in them is comfortable with It being a shorter fitted jacket. One of better Carhartt jackets I've gotten in a while.

This is a great looking jacket, unfortunately the quality of construction leaves a bit to be desired. There are so many loose strings from stitching hanging all over this jacket. The collar is also plastic under the fabric and very loud and crinkly.
