Got mine. The fit is laughable. It's actually good thru the body. It's a long tho and the sleeves are quite long. I'll post some pics. I think I have pants with more narrow "sleeves". For sure I'll cover the embroidery and just beat the Holy Hell out of this thing.

How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

I was strutting around the house this evening, peacocking my new Detroit, when my wife, God bless her (she's good at what she does) proclaimed that "within a years time you went from pervert cop... to the cable guy".
I'll be looking for a fringed number next so that my Village People tour is complete.

Itching for my A-1 to arrive now the weather has cooled, c'mon Eastman.
Funny isn't it, all these jackets, several years of waiting experience and the wait is still no better, in fact I think I'm actually getting less patient lol
This is the week, I'm sure

Shoulder width aside, it's not terribly far away from a 30s halfbelt in proportion. (My Dustbowl 44 is 48 round the chest and 42 at the hem, if memory serves.)
Yowsa! Just my luck to be in London...

Hope the taxman wasn't too greedy...
I really think the regular version would be a much better fit. This is a medium long. I think I could even probably wear a small in this pattern. The shoulders and chest are indeed ample and the sleeves are wide enough to damn near sleep in. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it tho. I'll continue to hunt for a better fitting version. For $24 I suppose it's well worth the fit lesson. It's a real shame there's not a place to try these on. These seem quite common and popular in Carhartts line...
Aaaaaaargh! I missed it by bloody 30 mins!

Now, that's a bummer.
Looks great, Ton. I had to order mine from the USA and worked out with some research that many of their jackets fit differently. In the Detroit I wear a medium long. Some of them, like the longer C61 Ridge Coat, I wear as a large regular. Unfortunately there is nothing really like Carhartt made in Australia. Our work wear companies are very limited. Duck cotton is virtually unknown here.

Sleeves are a bit wide but otherwise, I'd say it fits as good as it gets. The Long version really is long, though... But it's a damn cool looking jacket in any case. Is it heavy?
It's not heavy but it's very warm. Certainly a quality work wear piece. Absolutely no restriction in movement. Could take full swings with a sledge hammer all day without the jacket impeding movement at all. I suspect it'll see tons of wear this winter. I can easily layer under it. I'll be keeping my eyes open for a medium reg, maybe in classic Carhartt brown.
As far as the size goes it's a pretty massive medium. 20.5" across shoulders, 24.5" chest and right around 20.5" at the hem. The long measures 27" sleeve and body.

Do they not have that version at the Carhart store on Milwaukee (across from Schott) to try on?

Now I want one even more... Good to hear it's this comfortable. I could definitely use one at work. I think M should work for me, too. But this one fits you really nice, in any case!
Ha! I didn't even know it was there!

Yeah, you can pretty much toss a rock at it from Schott. Big selection.
Located. Picking it up later this evening.
