Carhartt. The older it gets, the better it looks! Especially to people who know what it's all about! Mine was all frayed at the cuffs. Fixed it with a lighter. The people who complimented me were the people who knew about real work.

They even rehab old coats that are in need of some TLC. A good friend of mine works for them and says a lot of the employees get really geeked when they can check out a vintage coat. I inherited my dad’s jacket that he bought in the early 80’s and wore every day in the winter. I like it so much I bought a brand new version so I didn’t have to worry about accidentally trashing my dad’s coat crawling under a tractor or something and it’s every bit the same quality coat they were making back then. My friend also says Carhartt really takes care of their employees, so I feel doubly good about supporting a good company that makes good products. 5/5 stars definitely recommend

Their website lets you sort by warmth and desired usage. If you can find a Carhartt store nearby they’re great.
