I'm of similar build and have the same problem with Carhartt sizing. It's either too large in the belly or too short in the sleeves and tight in the shoulders. I really wish they made more of their stuff in a medium tall, or even a small tall. Some of their items are sized so generously that I have to get a small which is surprising since I'm 6 feet tall. I still like their products though and will continue to buy them, but I always buy in person or from an online store with a good return policy. Glad you got some time away. Anyone on a farm or ranch knows that you get used to the constant strain of so many unfinished projects and things that need to be done everywhere you look, but it is still so important to get away once in a while.
I completely agree. I like the fit of the M around the chest and waist but I absolutely hate it around my armpits and shoulders. The jacket feels tight there I would probably be adjusting the fabric regularly. Then again, the L is much much more comfortable, yet the jacket is HUGE. I feel like I could stick basketball between my stomach and the jacket in size L. Funny to see this guy actually did it. I've spent the last 30 min trying both jackets on and I cannot make up my mind for the life of me. Too bad, I like the jacket, the look and the price.
I’m about 160 and can wear a medium in most jackets. My deluth puffer in medium fits great. I tried on the carhartt Bartlett and the jacket fit fine other than the arm pits where a little snug which would get really annoying very fast so it was a no go. They do have a zipper equivalent which fit a little better.i noticed some of there jackets have ridiculously large arm diameter also. Idk why they have such odd sizing on some stuff. If I don’t get the zipper one I may try another brand like Berne or Wolverine.
I’m a Manitoban. A Canadian living in one of the coldest cities in the world. It’s not unusual to have weeks of -30 to -40 weather in the winter. That coat looks awesome. You are going to be happy when you can wear layers on those bitterly cold Norwegian days. Cheers!
My experience with carhartt is that fit depends on what country it was manufactured in. I own shirts that range from medium to extra large and they all fit. I’ve figured out that you must try it on before you buy it.
Appreciate your review I've been sitting with my finger on the buy button but wanted to watch a few more videos to get an idea. I'm over here in Stockholm and most of the videos didn't really seem to be in places with a similar climate so seeing you were fine in Norway sold me. Not to mention I'm 195cm and after a day of fruitlessly searching for one to try on here in the city I appreciated knowing how you felt in it. I need to figure out something with the opening near the neck though. Thanks again and nice video!
Duluth Trading Company’s pants are a bit loose, but if you get the Firehose Flex Pants, they are so comfortable! It will move and stretch to whatever you do on the job (Squats are not an issue). I own a couple pairs.
You made a comment towards the end about work pant recommendations, so here’s mine. The company 1620 Workwear has great pants that are super durable but also very sleek looking. They’re expensive but they are durable like no other pants and if they do break, 1620 will repair them for you. Definitely check them out!
Fantastiskt bra filmer, många varma skratt har jag fått, TACK!! Beundrar ditt tålamod och glädje i det du gör. Kommer INTE missa en enda film, älskart💚💚💚
I swear by Patagonia's Hemp Canvas Ranch Jacket. I made the switch from a Carhartt Duck Zip Work-Jacket two years back and haven't regretted it. Admittedly the Patagonia is $50 more, but their jackets are recycled/responsibly sourced and, for a jacket that'll last me 5-7+ years, I don't mind dropping the extra money. It's plenty warm for Central New York falls/springs and layered up with a Duckworth hoody is good for me down to 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit. The hemp-canvas wears just as well as the Carhartt but is more flexible. At 193cm, 98 kilos the XL is a really good fit. If I'm remembering correctly there was a Patagonia store or two when passing through Helsinki and Turku. Finland isn't Norway but maybe there's a retailer out in your neck of the woods? I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has any experience with hemp-canvas and if they get any good jokes for rocking a jacket made out of the wanna-be electric lettuce!
I'm 5 "11 240lbs, my concern with this jacket was all the rest of the videos make the jacket look like it was more for slimmer people. I usually take an xl and was nervous it wasn't going to be large enough. Cool video
I picked up a new carhartt this year the medium was to small and the large was a little to big! I kept the large and actually ran it through the washer and dryer two three times and now it’s perfect!
I had the same problem and returned the same color and size jacket. It was just way too big. I think I accidentally left a few candies in the pocket before shipping it back to Carhartt.
Another large segment of the internet that will drive views is making a video talking about what kind of wrist watch you wear on the farm. With your production value, maybe even Hodinkee would let you tackle a Week on the Wrist segment for them! Keep on keepin on, E!
the inside pull tabs are so you dont catch them on a grinding wheel or something like it and reshape your face. Also love the humor you mix into your videos
I had the same problem with mine, it was so wide and short it looked ridiculous. I'm 5'10" 150lbs and I got a medium and it was way too big but I didnt go for a small because then it be too short.
My friend Laural (Inspired Clips) shared your scaffolding video with me and of course now I’m watching more of your videos😁 What a great channel! You are pretty entertaining 😂😁 I love it!
I am a 190+ centimeter (6 foot 3 inches) Norwegian (biologically Norwegian - third generation US citizen) living in Duluth MN and I have the Firehose pants. The company started here but is actually a Chicago company now but they still have a local store here. They are great!
I ordered one size smaller and it was too snug so I had to return and reorder. I’ve herd you can wash and put it in the dryer too make it smaller, you could try that. Finally, I found it fitting that you had sausages at a sausage party..... 🤣🌭
I just bought this jacket, i will have to return it, bought it in a size L based on reviews, then I saw this youtube video.. - and the package arrived 1 day after. Its way to big in the stomach, so im going to try and return it to a size Medium. for reference im 174 cm, 95 kilograms athletic build / muscular with wide shoulders, - its way too big in the stomach though, I could be carrying twins no problem. On the reviews it said that you can buy in large and regular sizes, but on Carhartts website I cant order that when I did it.. ?
Thanks for the post mate. Like yourself I'm 174cm, about 98 kg and broad shoulders. I was gonna go for the Large size but I like my jackets to fit me properly and not baggy. Might try the Medium one instead. Did you try the medium yourself by any chance? How did it fit? And as you mentioned here in Europe only give you the choice to purchase S, M, L. XL and XXL.
Top videos mate.... I find with Carhartt it’s best to size down..... I got the Detroit jacket after watching your video! Although not strictly jeans I find Snickers work pants are great outdoors as you can put knee pads in which are great when you’re moving around. As the material is canvasy/ condura I tend to where with Helly Hensen merino thermals.... Enjoy the content keep it up bro 👍🏾 Peace ☮️ from the UK 🇬🇧
@@FarmerE Yes, it’s great, it’s such a versatile jacket! It’s rugged and smart at the same time! So can be casual and for work! It’s my go to jacket for a smart casual daily wear and great for workwear. Like you say when it’s cooler it’s great to layer up underneath! Keep up the great work 💪🏾
Thank you so much being such a ham and putting all your sweaters and sweatshirts on! Many of my Resident Veterans are "Big and Tall" and have basketball bellies. You are tall and rugged have a rugged build and I would think Carhart should have a distinction. Maybe call the one with the extra space for a full term pregnancy- "Full Figured". Good going on getting away! Nice touch to see the physical distance while being social. Are you likely to have Water Buffalo calfs? Is winter a typical breeding season? Thank you again for the video with variety and beauty! Laural
Thank you, Laural! Getting a couple of days off with the boys was amazing! I´m expecting a calf in a months time, but ideally, i would have them in spring. I just had some difficulties getting them pregnant this year. Hope all is well!
do carhartt jacket shirink? need help before ruin my brand new jacket.large feels little tight and xl feels a little big hoping to shrink to fit in between?
Hahaha I hate carhartt's sizing. I found the KEY though a few yrs back. I have similar frame as you tall with long arms and wide shoulders. I'm 6'1 which is 185.42 cm tall and 83.91 kg, an athletic build. If I order a L or XL the arms fit good but same with you they make it for obese belly's. A Medium fits my stomach but the arms are barley past my elbows. So you HAVE to get whatever size fits your stomach but get it in the TALL version. Btw deluth pants are ok. They are very durable but they are not warm , VERY HEAVY like uncomfortably heavy and run baggy Wich gets annoying. I have 10 pairs and never wear them any more.
Hey hå, Odøling her! En kompis av meg har begynt å importere Carhartt til Norge. De selges fysisk i butikk på Hageland Skarnes, så da er det muligheter for å prøve også. 😊
@@FarmerE ja! Ikke alle hageland da, bare den på Ullern. Jeg kan sikkert snakke med han angående bestilling hva det er noen produkter du savner i utvalget der. 😊
I love Carhartt but their sizing is ridiculous and the the worst out there. They need to read people's comments and get to grips with this problem - because it is a big problem with an easy fix. They need to review their recommended size charts.
You have to get a size down from your normal wear. Carhartt seems to be putting out loose fit clothing. To appeal to bigger guys and hollywood dress wear. Where baggy is the style.
If you really want to keep and wear those jeans, send them to me and I can patch them. I can mend it and give you a bit more room so it doesn't happen again.
E just grow a big beard to keep you r neck warm. Duluth Trading companies clothing tends to run large. Im about your height/size and I normally buy one size smaller then normal. Just a FYI
