I am 5' 10", 185 pounds, and wear size large shirts and jackets. Chest size is 44. I purchased the medium size Carhartt Duck Canvas Chore coat. The coat fits exactly as I desired. Although the sleeves are about 3/4" too long, the overall fit is comfortable. The shoulder is perfect. I can stretch and move about without restriction. I can easily button the jacket while wearing an undershirt and a heavyweight long-sleeve, pullover top. I have a five inch overlap when I pull the coat tight around me. The circumference around the widest point of my abdomen (after eating) is 43.5." I can easily button my coat.
If I had to layer heavy clothing and wear tool belt, I would have considered the large size. I will be wearing my Carhartt when shopping or doing chores on my property so the medium is perfect for my needs.
Overall construction is excellent. I snipped a few thread ends. Seams are straight and even. The coat feels good. The canvas is stiff. The coat is made in India. The coat has high aesthetic appeal and I am highly pleased with my purchase. My cat likes the blanket lining as much as I do.

Still an iconic jacket? Not sure!
I gave this a five star only because of Amazon willingness to work with me on this coat. This chore coat has been on my wishlist for some time, it’s a classic! What an iconic look, Paul Newman rocking this coat as Sully in “Nobody’s Fool”! But back to the journey of getting my coat. First the sizing, a medium my normal jacket size was SO BIG, everywhere. I had to return for a small. Next the liner, it had to be a medium size liner in a small coat (see picture). So I returned for another one after talking to Carhartt customer care with assurances that was a defect. The next jacket had a much better liner but it looked like it had been worn, as it had a white spot on the back of the jacket (see picture). Another return and this jacket looks fine, although the liner is a bit sagging, athough not below the back lower hem. We will call it a loose fit! So all in all three returns and I have finally have the classic Carhartt chore coat. Out of the box I’m not fan of the blanket liner from a fit standpoint! A quilted liner, like the sleeves would have been fine. I’m willing to see how it works long term. Time will tell if this is the iconic jacket I had hoped for?
