Legendary Whitetails Men's Chore Coat Tough as Buck Collection, Flannel Lined Barn & Field Workwear Jacket

Bought this for my man and it’s perfect! Excellent quality and durability. Fits him perfectly! He’s 6’ around 190-200 lbs and got a large. The lining is so pretty and has so many pockets for things. Very thick, warm, and functional. Can be dressed up or down.

I'm a relatively big guy (3X) and the jacket fits perfectly. It looks great and I don't use it for work, I have 2 Carhartts for that and I only use those when it's really cold, because they can get uncomfortably warm. But I really like the style. I don't know how it'll hold up, because I don't wear it enough, but it's really nice and heavy, plenty of room. I wore it when it was cold this past week to run errands, instead of my usual (a columbia I've had for about 10 years), it did fine, but I was only out for a half hour. Nice jacket, I'd purchase another, but for what I'm using it for it should last for years to come.

Looks great. Fits like it said it would. Very warm!

I have been looking for a coat that meets several requirements and this is the closest I've found.1 - Range of motion: This has fairly shallow arm gussets and doesn't have quite the range of motion as a Duluth Trading or Carhartt but it's good enough.2 - Style: I kinda go for the Huckberry look, slightly retro and outdoorsy, a little butch, a little urbane. This fits the bill pretty well. It's not as stiff and shapeless as a real working man's jacket so it works for more casual use. I also really do not like branding. I don't want to wear a logo so I don't like Carhartt. A lot of Whitetail jackets have a big "legendary" patch on the arm which is a no for me. This one has a subtle leather patch on the side pocket. I'm okay with that.3 - Fit: This is a tough one. I'm 6'1” and 230 lbs. My dress shirt size is 17/34 so I'm never sure whether to get a large or extra large. I got the XL in this and it's a little too big but not ridiculous. Arms are a little too long, shoulders a touch wide but overall about as good as I usually find. If not for my pot belly I would probably take a large.4 - Pockets: I'm pretty specific here. I want good hand-warming pockets not the horizontal ones you see on most chore coats. This coat has those and snap-closure pockets on top of the hand warmers. Clever. I also want at least one secure breast pocket inside and outside. This has two of each. Winner winner chicken dinner.5 - Durability: I am not a hardcore buy it once type but I do want stuff that lasts. I just got this so it's an open question. It's all triple stitched with rivets at stress points and the cotton poly shell is a tight weave. Some reviews show failing snaps which is often the weak link for clothing as it's easy to mess up. All mine look secure.6 - Stand/flip down collar: I'm negotiable on this point but I strongly prefer a stand collar that can keep my neck warm but flip down nicely for casual wear without looking all janky. It's hard to find and this one is absolutely perfect.7 - "Just Right" Warmth: I live in New Jersey. It rarely gets super cold so I don't want something I'm going to cook in. At the same time I need a little insulation. This one is just right - good for 30s and 40s and it will probably work for colder temps if you layer properly.8 - Easy On/Off: Taffeta-lined sleeves and easy zippers are a must for me and this one has both. Also, the snaps are big sand easy to use with gloves.9 - Value: There are a lot of $50-$70 coats out there that are just too poorly made to bother with. At the same time you can spend $250 or more and end up with something that's not much better, especially if it's got some designer's name on it. At $130 this is a solid value. It's not artisanal hand waxed Japanese canvas, but it's not cheap, crinkly fabric either. It won't fall apart in a season but it's also not the end of the world if I leave it on a train or something.10 - Versatility: I'm not a longshoreman or an urban fashionista, I'm a suburban dad with a desk job and a lot of chores. I want to be able to throw on a coat and go to the store, then come home and change my car battery or fix a screen door. This is the coat for all that.Conclusion: I have looked at a LOT of jackets, new and vintage, and this is the only one I have found that meets all the above requirements. It's not 100% - I wish it was a little more tailored and would prefer a more natural-looking fabric to this smooth microsuede but overall it's something I expect to wear a lot and for a long time.

Great coat. Well made. Looks good. Keeps me warm. What else is there to say?

I love everything about this coat. It's a bit heavier than I expected, but that is certainly not a negative.

I like this coat. It's warm and fits well. Haven't had any super cold weather yet, but was quite warm in the 20's. Just had a regular cotton button up shirt on under it. Only had it a few weeks, but no complaints so far.

SECOND UPDATE: The jacket tore AGAIN, at a different seam. Three coats and three times the coat tears at various seams. This is a very poorly made coat, buyer beware. Never had such a poorly made coat.Update, after receiving a new Jacket from Amazon returns (not Legendary Whitetails) the pocket tore AGAIN after about 2 months of use. Same tear, right at the seam. Unfortunately, this just is not a well made item. Legendary Whitetails provided me a replacement, which is nice, but probably a 2.5 star product given two tears at the seam of the pocket.First, I do LOVE this jacket, very comfortable and nice feel. But I had this coat for about 3 weeks. One button popped off, and then a tear along the seam of the front pocket, just from casual wear. The fact that it tore right at the pocket seam tells me poor manufacturing. Amazon allowed me to return it for another as it was only 3 weeks. So I am disappointed with the qualify, especially as I love the coat all around. If the new one lasts after a few months, I will increase my rating as I love the jacket. But if it tears again....un-exusable.
