Carhartt 103372 - Full Swing® Caldwell Jacket - Quilt Lined

This is my second one after 7 years. And the first one was adopted by my son still in good shape. I found everything perfect in this jacket after the research I did. The shell the lining, insulation the way is made. Really good stuff.

This jacket is by far the best carhartt product I've worn and worked in. try one on in store or at least order a size up and down to get the fit perfect. I usually wear a large tall but a large seemed to fit better for preference. The design team killed it with this one. I've worn this in all seasons and everything about it is perfect. lots of people in these reviews of newer carhartt products criticize the drop tail. This jacket also features a drop tail and a sort of shorter length (much like the detroit jackets and J002) to accommodate the use of a tool belt. the great thing is, the tail is there to keep the drafts out (doesnt really get in the way of your belt anyways) but if you DONT want the tail or don't like the look or whatever they've put in cinches along the waist to tighten it up and it basically removes that drop tail as much as you like. I've worked in mine for a few years now and I've been waiting to write this review. the ripstop material is not classic duck. but it is EXTREMELY durable, and the spots that need the extra durability long term (decades) have the cordura material (the sleeve ends, around the bottom). the color matching of the cordura isn't strange looking and after a few years of sun fading it holds up amazing. Take a look at some old 'vintage' carhartt coats on google, the tattered ripped and stained ones that people are paying hundreds for second hand: you'll notice where the coats tend to get the most beat up. It's usually right at the sleeves and bottom hem. this won't happen as quickly with this jacket... read-------> **The attention to detail they put into this**It feels good to have the polyester where it counts but otherwise have a phenomenal good old fashioned cotton coat. I've tried and worked the past 6 winters in various all-poly or cordura versions of the yukon line and the full cordura stuff just isnt as....comfortable? to me as this jacket is. the hardware on the coat is great; I've read and experienced certain troubles with some of the carhartt zippers, buttons, etc. particularly with double zippers, but this one has a super smooth and adequately-sized single zipper that's held up. never had an issue using the zipper with mittens or thick gloves. and if the zipper ever does fail: the buttons and storm flap are not only great looking stylistically but functionally work to keep out drafts when you need to. it's a very warm coat but it is built to be worn with a belt: a bit shorter in length. with the elastic cinch waist, the drop tail, the storm flap in front, and the elastic cuffs, the coat retains the heat, but seems to breathe better than other models such as the yukon line. not a single bit of hardware on this coat has malfunctioned or misperformed in the years I've actively worked in it. there's one snag right on the front from a time i caught it on a sharp metal bit of line when working on a pole-but the ripstop did its job and it hasn't frayed since and it's hardly noticeable. there's also a soft lining inside the front pockets. ATTENTION TO DETAIL. whoever designed this: I LOVE YOU. the lining is warm and is still soft after years of shoving tools and fittings into the pockets. the pocket rivets at the top have held up impressively, as i often overload the front pockets with tools and equipment while climbing. when gloves need to be off for dexterity, that soft lining in the pockets truly makes the difference for a quick hand warming vs just the standard cotton duck J002 pockets that are thick, but the cold still cuts through. I could go on and on but lastly: the inside lining..... is perfect. I've personally never been a fan of the sort of coat that has, say, wonderful warm sherpa lining in the body and quilted lining in the sleeves. I know they do that for ease of putting on/taking off. I'd rather have it all one or the other (all sherpa or all quilted). flip this jacket inside out and see what they've done. it's quilted throughout, but the small of the back is quilted in a slightly different, softer material. It could just be placebo, but i swear to you having just that little extra right there makes it warmer. and the same material is used in the armpits and on inside elbows in the sleeves. This was built and designed with comfort, functionality, and durability in mind no matter if you're wearing short sleeves long sleeves or a tank top underneath it. 2 notes: i ripped out the inside pockets for comfort (weird lining preference ^ see notes above) I don't like the rougher material rubbing on me while im working. If i had one hyper critique I'd say maybe make the collar just a smidge bigger. for when the hood's not attached but its still a little windy. Bottom line: try on and buy this jacket. This will be a new carhartt classic. it's better than the detroit. both in function and style. and i have no doubt that this will last decades. I want to buy more of them because they're awesome. I don't need more than one because it's been so well designed.
