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.
