Tough Duck

I was looking for a sturdy, canvas chore coat to replace a favorite one, that I lost. Some were too light weight, others didn't fit right. When I unpacked this jacket, I would have sworn that the pockets had weights in them. The material seems heavier than the 10oz., in the description. This is not a light weight jacket in any sense of the words. I can't imagine what would tear this jacket. The number, and size of the pockets will be a bit of a challenge to figure out how to use efficienly. The fit is good for layering, yet not so large that I couldn't wear it by itself over a single shirt. I am 6', 205lb and I am long in the torso. This jacket did not come down so far as to making it impractical to use as a vest. This jacket may not be for everyone. Some may find it too heavy and the number and location of the pockets, awkward. For me, it was what I was looking for, and I will make it work for me.

looks good just my style. dont know why they tried to make a hood out of a piece of floppy cloth. silly

I bought this as my new "go-to" jacket. I work in the barn all day with client's horses, I've had a few Carhartts and Tough Duck is comparable in quality. Very versitle, love that I can zip out the vest when it warms up. This jacket does run a bit large. Not extemely bad but just thought I'd mention it. No problem for me, I'll just throw a sweater under it.
