I have been looking at getting a durable outerwear jacket for a few years now. After trying on my son's Medium J130 (also from Carhartt) I got to trying on jackets from a few makers, including some pretty good, lower-priced offerings here on Amazon. My son's J130 is more loose-fitting than this relaxed-fit sherpa-lined jacket, but both keep you very warm in cool and cold, as well as windy weather. Neither are waterproof. This Medium-Regular (not Tall) Sherpa-Lined Relaxed fit coat is longer in the back, and fits over the waist on me. I am 5' 10" ~200 pounds with a 35-inch waist, and this fits me much better than the J130. The hood volume, and arm and body length are all perfectly placed on me. Be aware that while the sleeves have storm cuffs, there is no waist cinch or cuff on this coat, so some people might have body heat leaks there. Everything seems very well constructed. The zipper is smooth and easy to engage, dye on the outer fabric is even and saturated, and the sherpa lining is in the hood and body, while quilted polyester is in the sleeves, which makes putting it on easy without grabbing any garments you might have on underneath. The front outer pockets have full flannel lining, and the inner and outer storage pockets are large and zippered. It breathes well, so I don't feel overheated in it. I wore it around the house for a day before deciding that I wanted to keep it, and never got too hot in it. The lower-priced ones I tried from other makers were good, and more than worth their price, but they were not up to the quality of this jacket.

This jacket is pretty warm and sturdy as you'd expect from carhartt. Sherpa lining is great for warmth and a touch of style... but could be a bit thicker. You can fold it and see the threading bed behind it. Attached hood is effective. I can even use the hood folded down to make a backstop for my neck, lol. Pockets are good, easy access.
Regarding fit.... the most important part. I'm 6'0", about 165lb athletic (some muscle in the chest/shoulders, thinner arms/legs). I ordered both the medium and large, and was really torn between the two. Medium "fit" really well, and I would call it a more handsome cut. But there was just enough squeeze in the top (chest and shoulders) to make me hesitant. The large (pictured) gave me more room, and felt more comfortable to move around in. Which is why you're buying one, to work in. Also couldn't see myself cramming a hoodie on under the medium. So, stuck with large.
The bottom is kinda billowy. Probably to get around some beer guts. I know I signed up for it going large, but the proportions are kinda whacked. Tight up high, really loose down low. This allows some breeze/wind to travel up. It doesn't make the jacket useless, and it's not a deal breaker. But it's noticeable.
Wish the zipper was a bit bigger. Can be a little hard to start at times. Got used to it though, so it's not a huge problem.
Overall: decent winter jacket. One step back in quality from the old Carhartt but will still get the job done.
