Protect the ocean so it can protect us
Our future is tied to the ocean. Its shared seas connect us through food, culture and sport. The home of amazing, abundant life, it’s also a powerful climate solution. Yet the practice of bottom trawling threatens to destroy this precious resource—bulldozing our ocean floor, undermining small-scale fisheries and deepening the climate crisis. Let's end this destructive practice, starting with an immediate ban in marine protected areas and inshore zones.

I'm in love with Patagonia's hemp canvas workwear jackets
The Barn Coat's form and function come together very well as a lightweight, but very layer-able, all purpose jacket. I simply love the comfort and durability of the hemp blend canvas, that if I need to, is washable.
I likewise have the Rancher jacket(s) in addition to these Barn Coats. I am seriously considering purchasing the Vests and Hoode... Read Mored Jackets in this canvas, it is that good.
Although, if a may here advocate to Patagonia that the hooded jacket in this canvas has very much a Bomber overtone. And so, I would likewise welcome other silhouettes of jackets in this canvas, especially a full on strict Bomber (no hood). And keep going, from a some sort of Moto to even say try an Overcoat. I know, we are talking workwear here, but again it is so durable and comfortable, keep going. The current colors are great. Maybe through in a dark brown too?
Thanks for reading.
To date this is the best hemp blend material I have come across for a jacket. And the overall design functionality is superb. It is a close tie with the likewise rancher jacket Patagonia has. While this does not look as good, it looks well enough and is roomier. In any case, you con't go wrong with either and if you want more room for the slee...

At my body specs a Small is on the order of 23.25" - 23.50" chest, which gives room for a thick warm pullover hoodie. It is the kind of coat that makes you wish you had a barn, or at least worked at a place that has a barn. Both colors have a nice neutral hue and it is very soft but tuff comfortable fit-feel.
Bought this as a jacket as a winter jacket, keeps me warm doing tasks outside in Scottish winter. Also spent some time wearing this jacket in Finnish winter. Kept me toasty when it was -25 Celsius, clearing snow outside. Looks great, good length in the arms. Boxy in the torso, which I like, with plenty of room for mid layers.
I have worn this work jacket for 4 seasons now. Its warm and durable with a relaxed fit that is roomy enough to layer under if necessary. It washes up great and beyond its durable hemp material it is soft and cozy. I will say the sizing is very roomy in the body while being smaller in the shoulders and shorter in the arms.

Very functional work coat with plenty of pockets and nicely insulated without being too bulky. Doesn't affect my range of motion at all. Runs larger in size on top of being a roomy fit.
This jacket is very warm and looks nice for casual wear. I have received several compliments. The fit is roomy/boxy, not fitted. Ordered an XL first and had to return it for L which fits well. I am 6'4" and 185 lbs.
Honestly, this is one of the best coats I've ever owned. It's extremely well made; the materials are topnotch; and it's warmer than I expected it to be (a pleasant surprise).

On the suggestion from reviews I watched on this coat, I order down a size. Turns out, it was too small so for me, their coats are true to size. Exchange was totally hassle free.

Bought this work jacket to wear when working construction outside in the cold, chopping and carrying wood and for casual wear. This jacket is perfect for all of those applications.

Finally replaced my old Bean barn coat. This coat has huge pockets which is very useful and is just the right way for working (leaf removal, wood cutting and splitting) three seasons.
I do t be have all that much to say other than I love this coat. Its super warm, comfortable and I dont look like a puffball. Its got a classic look and feel. All the pockets are great as well. I think I might have all workwear jackets/coats now. I sure wish I was on their pro care program again. Id even have more .
The collar on the jacket I received looked like a clown collar or from a dress from the 50s.
I would have been very happy if it were similar to the photo above!
The coat is quite warm, has a great range of motion, and has an abundance of pockets. My tall, broad shouldered, husky son loves it, and it has become his regular go-to coat in cold weather.
Heavy duty and heavy weight, i.e., it weighs more than I expected. I would prefer if it had a bi-directional zipper and the size and orientation of the inside pocket is awkward. That said, it is still a good jacket and will be worn most days this winter.
this is an insulated coat, so has some extra R factor to it... this will be great for colder climates and as winter barn coat. fit is a bit roomy i could have gone down a size for a closer fit, but chose to keep the room for bulkier layers. quality is great.... expecting this to last for many years.

Stylish autumnal coat which lets you take it beyond the barn
Ideal for the cooler autumn weather. Well made with plenty of pockets and the fasteners (zip & studs) are strong and secure.

This is unlike Patagonia's other hemp coat they call a "chore coat". In Large, the chore coat fits and looks great and the sleeves are just perfect. Despite being similar--like a non-insulated version of the barn coat--the chore coat is designed to extend the length of the shoulders if need be. You can see special folds and seams on the shoulder blades for this. The barn coat lacks these, making for a very stiff shoulder that pulls the cuffs up the arm. With these relief folds, the Barn Coat would be perfect.
Patagonia, update this barn coat with some more shoulder space. I'm gonna see if I can modify this coat or just live with it, or give it to someone else. Also, make the barn coat available in ink black like the chore coat. It's a beautiful and attractive color.
Work a farm in MA. Wear this coat in the shoulder season and winter. Can carry all my tools in this thing, they just disappear into the pockets.

I bought this for casual wear more than outside work. Although I believe it would hold up just as well as some of the other iron forge hemp clothing I have, I want to keep one in nice condition.
The fit runs large ever so slightly in my opinion, but I wouldnt size down. Also, the materials in this jacket feel very high quality. The zipper and sna... Read Morep buttons seem to be intentionally picked to be as nice as possible, which helps the price point of this jacket seem justified. The details were definitely thought out. The only thing I wish Patagonia offered was a button closure like their chore coat for those who prefer not to use zippers.
I like the coat and the material. I wish it was more roomy in the shoulders. There is not a lot of room for layering. The arms are slender and not as roomy as I would want in a work coat. A large double zipper would be an improvement over the small single zipper. You need to zipper up without gloves and the zipper tab is tiny.
Soft, loose, great for layers and the Adirondacks. This is a work issued jacket and keeps me warm and will be a go to during off hours as the full pocket on the back is great for stuffing whatever you don't want to hold. My first hemp garment and love it. I wish the website was a bit easier to locate the jacket though. Not intuitive for me.
Was looking for a work jacket alternative to your typical Carhartt and this fit the bill. The hemp canvas is super soft right out of the package, yet seems every bit as durable as duck canvas. The pocket layout is very thoughtful too. Im 59 205 lbs. I purchased the medium based on other reviews saying it runs a full size bigger, and that is true. I...

Heavy, but not bulky and really warm
I was expecting a well made heavier coat based on my other Patagonia Hemp purchases. I was not disappointed. Grabbing it off the hanger it feels heavy, especially compared to poofy down filled jackets. Once on it is a comforting thing and feels nice, not bulky or overly heavy. It is sized for layers, but even without layers it is very toasty. I lov...

I have been wearing the replacement jacket everyday since and its awesome. The hemp canvas is flexible and breaks the cold Michigan wind excellently. The jacket fits exactly how described and pictured. I am 510 and 158lbs. Small fits me great and would probably fit people just a bit bigger than me great too. This jacket has so many pockets for tools and phones and all sorts of stuff. The pocket on the back of the jacket is a great catch all for notebooks or bigger stuff. The functionality is great and it looks great too. Im so glad the jacket works as good as it looks. Hoping to have it for a long time and I am very happy with my first Patagonia experience.
I love the fit, the pockets are well thought out, it seems bomb proof. Extremely warm. My only complaint would be the weight of it, it's heavy! But usually heavy things are built to last... and no reason to drop a star for it. Highly recommended.
I have been wearing this for about one month and I am loving it so far.
Its super warm and the material looks very durable. The pockets are big and deep and comes in more handy.
Id totally recommend this.
I'm 5'10, 170 pounds, broad shoulders and stuck right between sizes M and L on Patagonia clothing. In general, Medium is almost a very close fit and Large being a very loose fit for me.

I bought this jacket for my husband who works exclusively outside and needed a warm, durable jacket for those harsh winter days in the Appalachian mountains. It fits like a glove. He really enjoys and uses all of the pockets! It's warm, hefty, and in two months of hard use it still looks like new! Highly recommend!
Im 6, 215 and the size L is perfect. Ive worn other brands of work coats prior to this one , and theres no comparison. The Barn Coat is by far the best Ive worn for a cold weather work coat. There is no break in period, no stiffness at all and the abrasion resistance is for real. I live in the App. Mtns if E. Tn and SW. Va and have experienced no p... Read Moreroblems after wearing for nearly 3 months. I own/operate a cattle farm, hay operation and raise pastured pork. Ive built fence, corrals, fed animals, worn to work, out to town, built fence and so on. I wear this coat daily and have yet to have an issue. Its tough, comfortable and warm. The slimmer sleeves are perfect to keep loose materials out of your way, esp when working. The tapered fit eliminates the need for a draw cord style lower hem. It is not extremely cold where I work, but is regularly into the low 20s/high teens F here and Ive had no issues, even with layering. You can move freely with this item on and have no real worries of getting snagged by things due to too much loose fitting material. All pockets are well designed and thought out and are very useful for daily chores. The collar is soft yet rigid enough to stand in wind and cold. Ive not dealt much with rain/snow, so I cannot speak to that but the coat isnt advertised as waterproof or resistant. Overall, this may be the best work coat Ive owned for the money and durability to date. I would normally wear an XL and returned an XL for a L. Size down and this coat is perfect!
I work outdoors everyday and in the cold winter months this coat has really helped. Tough materials with plenty of pockets and a warm lining make for a great user experience. The fit is good although maybe a bit roomy although this does allow for extra layers. Overall a great buy, would recommend!
I'm 6'1", weigh 175, with 32" waist. M fits okay, but sleeves are tighter than I'd like. To be fair, I am fairly muscly and have long arms, but I feel like most people who do manual labor are going to fit in that category, and a workwear jacket should be built to accommodate that. Otherwise the fit is perfect, but the restr... Read Moreiction in the sleeves is a huge drawback. Thought about sizing up to the L, but already returned M and L size of the ranch jacket bc M was even tighter than the barn coat, and L swallowed me whole (felt like jumping up 3 sizes instead of just 1).

This is the only review I have ever submitted online for a piece of clothing, I felt like I needed to share.. I'm 5'11 240lb and this jacket fits me great.

Read Morein the woods most of the time and the large pockets allow me to carry everything I need and still be hands free to work. You cannot feel any wind coming through the jacket, it is built heavy and the exterior is very tough. The jacket is more expensive than what I'm used to working in but you get what you pay for. I plan to buy another as a spare incase they stop making them like this. I bought the dark ash green color because where I live you do not wear clothing that resembles the color of a deer if your working in the woods during the cold months. I would like to see a dark gray or dark brown color added to the selection.
Coat fits perfectly, I normally wear a size large and bought a size large. It fits loose enough to add another layer but tight enough to wear with only a tee shirt. My only complaint is that it needs a double zipper to be comfortable when sitting in a vehicle.
Based on the description and other reviews I was expecting this coat to be great, and indeed it is. Feels very heavy and durable while still being soft and flexible. Its not rigid like some other name brand canvas coats when new. Im looking forward to seeing how it wears over time.
Im 510, a stocky 210lbs, and a medium is a perfect relaxed fit.
I have had this jacket just for a month but have already gotten a ton of wear out of it. We are having a fairly cold fall here in the Northern Neck of VA. We are on the water just off the Chesapeake.

Also for walks with the grandkids, sitting around the fire outside and generally just hanging out. The jacket is super warm and rugged. No snags in heavy brush.

Love all of the pockets, especially the big back one wear I store my gloves so I can use the front ones to store other stuff. Hand warmer pockets are also a great addition. Thanks as always for the care you all take in design and production. I know I will wear this one for years.
I like the hemp fabric, and the look of this jacket. Quality build. Pockets are great. The fit is good for me. Improvements:

The jacket has nice aspects.
Sizing:
The sizing is good, but it is also quite obscure. Let me be more clear. This jacket can fit in many different ways for many different people (body size), this is a positive aspect in many ways as well. However, I believe it is a bit too obscure to the point where the buyer will never know exactly how this will... Read More fit unless unless try it on. The return process of course makes that not so much of an issue. But still. The sizing is not as straightforward as one might be used to.
Materials:
The canvas on this jacket feels very tough. And it is. The pockets are all ergonomically placed. The buttons are the best part. Which brings me to the zipper. I believe this zipper not only hinders the design, but it goes against Patagonia's environmental philosophies. This jacket is a work jacket, it is meant to be strong, and last, and be functional. It is almost all of those things. This zipper, if replaced with buttons would extend the life of this jacket. Zippers are prone to breakage and don't hold nearly as strong as a solid button configuration, possibly buttons made of recycled horseshoes. This is a good barn coat, but I think being open to practical and artistic improvements is what the people need.
I bought this 2nd hand after discovering Patagonias work wear range.

Luckily I had tried one on before purchasing because they seem to run a large. It's a nice casual rustic coat and Patagonia's hemp clothing seems to be fairly durable.
This coat was kind of a pain to buy, but I'm really happy to have it. First of all, the colors are tough to judge online, which I guess is hard to avoid. I went into the store rather than buy both and return one. The fit is also a little unusual. For me (5'9", ~135 lbs.), the arms in a size S fit just fine, layered or not, but the mi... Read Moredsection is kind of loose. That works for what I was looking for (I can work in it, wear it around town, and probably even sleep in it), but the fit on me doesn't seem to line up with what some other reviewers have said. Probably best to try it on first if you can.
The coat I ended up buying in-store was great until I noticed the stitching had come undone in the left hand pocket. That surprised me in a burly coat like this, but I like it enough to go exchange it for a new one.
The coat will be good for chilly spring days over a light shirt, or I can layer a hoodie or puffy jacket underneath just fine. The material is soft and seems durable, and most reviews online say it's held up well. One thing I'm still curious about is whether the material can be waxed to provide a bit more rain protection.
I love this jacket, it's exactly what Patagonia have always done well - superb quality with style and comfort (& I've been buying Patagonia for 40 years). It fits perfectly, it's great with a thin jumper and a thick one too. It's cool on a hot day and warm on a cool one. It's rugged, is smart, it has style!
I got this coat back in Feb 20. Pretty much daily use Feb to May and then Oct through March 21. Easily the most useful work coat i have owned. I can carry tools gloves hat etc no issue. Looking lived in now but super soft to wear a few scrapes but nothing worn out or looking shabby. A two way zip and more buttons on the placket my only gripe.
I've received so many compliments on this coat!
It keeps me warm with just a t-shirt down to about 35 degrees. Very comfortable and heavy. Like the other reviewers have said, it runs large. Small fit me perfect (5'5" 160) with room for a flannel shirt and hoodie underneath on colder days.

My wife wanted my coat! I own the same one in large size. Im 73in 220lb. Its the perfect work coat for the farm. I run a poultry farm. The coat runs large so its great as a shell in the winter over a thick sweatshirt or some other Patagonia sweater product. This coat is all about the pockets! In the winter I carry a stocking cap, gloves, neck gaite... Read Morer, and baseball cap in the rear pocket. (Doubles as lumbar support when Im in the truck) My iPhone is in my right front pocket, and my flashlight, reading glasses, pen, notepad in left breast pocket. I throw in some hand lotion and a tape measure and Im ready to work. The coat now weighs twice as much. Two suggestions 1) more snaps evenly space on the main zipper cover, sometimes u just need to snap the coat in a pinch. 2) the coat is long and a parka zipper may make crouching down easier. I got my wife the small and it fits her like it fits me on the large side room for a sweater. She is normally a womans medium. I love your clothes namely your cold weather gear.
I believe I will be wearing this coat for many years. The coat is very warm and the quality is typical Patagonia. I usually buy a large but after reading the reviews I purchased a medium and it fits perfect. Have only worn it a couple times and have been complemented each time.
This jacket is warm, tough, and great looking. It does run a hair large but I expected that fit for this type of jacket. I'm usually on the upper end of a medium so I ordered a medium and it fits great. If you are normally on the smaller side of a particular size you may consider sizing down one.

Runs slightly large as expected from a coat made for this type of work. I feel like I could take a chainsaw to this jacket and not even make a scratch. Its warm and a perfect weight for working outside. They truly tested this product perfectly with the amount of storage and range of different pockets on this jacket.
I can tell that I will have this coat for the rest of my life. Cannot beat the quality. I am 5'9 and roughly 230 LBS with a 38 inch waist.

I bought this, after reading other happy reviews, to replace my 18 year old Carhartt jacket that's finally circling the drain. And I'm mostly very happy with it (this Patagonia one). Other reviewers stated the jacket runs large, and yes, it does. I normally buy a size large so I can layer underneath it, but I bought a medium version and I... Read More'm glad I did. It's a little roomy--but that's good! I can layer! And, it's comfortable...-ish. (And here's where the "however" in the title comes in). It IS comfortable! As long as the wind isn't blowing. Two things would vastly improve this jacket. First, either a draw cord or some sort of buttoned tabs around the waist section to snug it up around your midriff, because when the wind blows, it goes right up underneath, and even with my three layers under the jacket I get cold. It just doesn't seal at all down there. (Note: I don't do a lot of heavy manual labor in this jacket, so maybe I'd appreciate the ventilation if I worked up more of a sweat, however...). And second, it needs a few more buttons or snaps on the front flap. But on mild days it's a winner! The quality is exactly what you'd expect from this company. It's good looking and has wonderfully roomy pockets for carrying lots of stuff. It's constructed well. I like it.
(Note: I haven't thrown the Carhartt out yet because it seals up pretty well, and like the guy in Monty Python's Holy Grail: it's not dead yet.)
I bought this coat for working around my cabin in the forest. The length and fit are perfect for me. (Im 57-58 tall and about 145lbs) Also the loft is perfect as well. As its not too heavy or too light. The fabric outside has the worn broken-in feel as it was described online. Overall its a great casual coat for my cabin.
Fantastic chore coat, hemp fabric is amazing, runs big
IMO this is the best chore coat on the market today. Patagonia once again hit the right balance between style and function.

It definitely runs really big. I am a large in most Patagonia coats and had to exchange the large (which I was swimming in) for a medium, which fits comfortably with room for layering.
One minor nit: The front zipper is functional but it feels a bit lightweight for the coat.
Really enjoying this coat. Rugged but versatile enough to wear as causal coat. I usually wear a large in Patagonia fleece, etc., but the medium fits perfect with plenty of room to add a few layers below on those colder days.
If you are going to buy one jacket just for general winter use, this is it. Ive had it for 4 years, and it looks as if I bought it yesterday.

No designed for a range of motion in the shoulders.
I was going to use this for riding horses and associated work. There was inadequate movement in the shoulders. I had to return the jacket because there was no ease built in the shoulders.

I purchased the Patagonia Iron Forge Hemp Canvas Barn Coat in December 2019. I waited several months before offering my views on this coat because I wanted to ensure that my impressions would be consistent over time.
Because my shoulders, chest, and neck traditionally have been the critical areas of fit, I tried on both a large and a medium at the Denver Patagonia store. The large was a very comfortable (almost ideal) fit in the shoulders and chest. However, the balance of the torso was blousy; it wasnt bad, but it wasnt a fit that I was accustomed to. The medium, on the other hand, had a more of a fit that I preferred in the lower torso, yet the shoulders and chest were close to being tight. The range-of-motion in the shoulders was not restrictive, but close to it.
The closest I come to layering under any coat is a flannel shirt over a t-shirt. So I felt the medium would be an acceptable fit. I ended up ordering a medium from Patagonia to get the color that I wanted (coriander brown). That said, for folks with measurements similar to mine but prefer to layer, the medium probably would not work very well.
Admittedly, this past year I have been second-guessing myself as to whether I should have purchased the large. I havent had the need to layer. And I havent had any circumstances or physical activity where my shoulders felt constrained. Its just that Ive missed the comfortable drape of a size large on my shoulders. And Im sure that I would have acclimated to the larges relaxed torso shape as well. Nonetheless, the medium is serving its purpose quite well.
But enough about fit.
I truly enjoy the hemp construction. It was comfortable right out of the box. And as it continues to break in, it is becoming even more comfortable. Maybe I am naturally warm-natured so quite possibly this next statement may not be true for all folks, but I find this coat comfortably warm for Colorado winters. With gloves and a hat, I find no need for layering or the need for a heavier coat. I find it very effective at wind blocking. The construction is first rate; I havent seen any flaws. And it seems to be quite durable, although Ive not found the need to crawl through any barbed-wire fences lately. With my perception of the quality of the material and components, I feel this coat offers a very good price to performance ratio especially when I consider this coat to last a good number of years. All in all, Im very satisfied with this purchase.

strong coat
I work in a warehouse refrigerator environment driving a forklift and the last coat I got was a Berne brand. It wore out in the sleeves fairly fast. The abrasion resistance on this Patagonia coat is quite impressive. It wasn't begun to show any signs of worn. My only complaint is that the sleeves are a little too short for me. I ordered a larg... Read Moree knowing that I'd be able to layer but hoped the sleeves would fit me. I like the jacket and like the quality.
Thank you
Ordered small following other reviews. Plenty large enough for layering in colder weather. Really well made and robust. Made for work so no restriction on movement when using equipment or stretching upward. Masses of storage room.
Love this jacket. Perfect for working outside, especially of it's cold. Didn't need breaking in and has a really hardwearing, good quality feel to it. Runs slightly large but that's great for freedom of movement whilst working.
I got this to replace a much-loved denim chore coat that had lasted near 30 years. I suspect that this coat will outlast me; it's very tough. The pockets are roomy and easily usable even with gloves on. The cut is roomy enough for a bulky layer underneath, but it's warm enough that that would be needed only on very cold days (I just came ... Read Morein from moving firewood at around 30F and left the coat mostly open). I'm 6'1" 185# and the medium fits well; I've got long arms (I usually need to buy a tall) and the sleeves are just long enough for me.
I will say that I am completely on board with Patagonia and have no problem paying the higher prices for it, being that it is an amazing product. I have NEVER written a review on anything, and this goes to show how much I really enjoy this jacket. It can be worn in literally any way, and I often wear it to school in the winter as I am walking aroun... Read Mored campus. Its big enough to layer underneath it, and when you do it keeps you extremely warm. Not only do I wear it in a casual setting, I often cut firewood in it as well. I am about 5'9 and weigh 165, and have ordered a medium and it fits me perfectly. It is just big enough I can stuff a sweatshirt, and my pat vest underneath it to keep me perfectly warm. I can't say enough about this jacket and it has been my favorite I have ever ordered.
When I first received it the hemp shell was somewhat stiff, but after a few days it was broken in and comfortable. The coat is warm and handles moderate rain and snow very well.
So far I thoroughly enjoy this jacket. Its held up amazingly over the last couple weeks of tree work and farm chores so far. I'm waiting to see how it holds up in the colder parts of MN winter. Here's hoping!
Really enjoying this coat and cold morning and evening fit me perfect love the liner inside which allow movement and make easy to put it on and take it off.
Only think I would suggest would be a double zipper to allow to ride and access knife at the belt.

Excellent Barn Coat....Exactly what I have been looking for
I really like this jacket. It is well designed and the quality of materials and construction is excellent. The fabric is tough but relatively soft. As per other reviews, this is a roomy jacket and especially in the mid section.
This is basically a Carhartt jacket that probably isn't as tough but with more style. I am 6'1, 225lbs with a 4... Read More8" chest and 39" waist.....The XL fits great. Some noted the sleeves were narrow but I did not find that to be the case and I have good size biceps. Looking forward to layering this with a nice flannel or fleece. For the price I think this is an excellent value from Patagonia.
We're sorry to hear this was too large. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding our [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) process.

Chore jacket
I am very pleased with the flexibility and design features. It is a jacket I will have and use for a long time.
I took the advice from comments of the size being larger than expected and ordered the large. I'm 6' 215 lbs, the mid-section was fine, but the sleeves were very tight with no room for a sweater or sweatshirt worn underneath.
For reference, I'm 5' 9" and 160lbs. I usually wear Medium shirts and coats and 30x32 pants. I bought the Small barn coat and love it. THE NEGATIVE: First, the caveat that most people seem to be mentioning: This jacket runs large. BUT IT's DESIGNED THAT WAY. Patagonia advertises it that way. Just go into it knowing that, and you... Read More'll save yourself frustration. I'll make the case below that it is better precisely BECAUSE it runs large. People who like the metro, sleek look will not like this though. While it does look good as far as work wear goes, you don't buy things like this for fashion, per se. Also, this thing is heavy, so I think Patagonia should have given a more durable hanging loop. I have serious doubts the hanging loop is going to last in the long haul. The hemp absorbs smells more than canvas I've noticed. No huge deal really, but this may bug some people. It is slightly annoying that the jacket doesn't completely relax to the body well if you sit down with it zipped up, but that's what you get if you want a nice, heavy-duty zipper and a jacket that holds its form. Can't have it all I guess. I would still buy it again. I would have made the inside pocket a horizontal zip instead of vertical. Vertical has been awkward for me. I would have put the drop in pocket on the right breast instead of the left, as most people (me included) are right handed. I would have loved to have an option for a detachable hood with utilizing metal buttons hidden under the back of the collar. Lastly, I would have added a third snap button half way up the zipper; a hidden one though so that it doesn't look funny. Now, all the GOOD STUFF: 1. Hemp is way better than canvas. More soft and comfy, yet more durable. I wore Carhartt for years as an electrician and loved it, but this improves upon that. It's softer. The other day I wore my leather tool bags over the coat and it was actually comfortable. I couldn't do that very comfortably with my canvas duck coats. The other day, I was loading a bunch of oak logs into my rig for firewood and caught my barn coat shoulder on a barb wire fence hard enough to pull my shoulder back as I walked and make me lose my balance. Having torn canvas work wear on nails etc many times, I thought for sure I had ripped a hole in my new jacket. However, much to my delight, I searched to find where it had torn, but to no avail. There was literally no sign of the snag. This jacket is SUPER warm and comfy, yet somehow still incredibly durable and hardy. It doesn't look like it would fray and unravel much even if I did tear it. Besides, Patagonia does repairs. 2. This thing has a TON of pockets, yet still looks stylish as far as work wear goes. It's like a jacket that seconds as a small backpack. This and room for layering underneath are the two reasons I thing the large sizing makes sense. I usually wear Medium, but in this I have Small which is perfect. If this jacket were more form fitting, I could not comfortably utilize the many pockets (such as when you try to shove your phone into the pocket of a tight pair of jeans - not comfortable). I have frequently walked around with the following in my pockets all at once and am so comfortable that I literally forget they're in my jacket: full size key ring of keys, car keys, comb, large leather wallet, cell phone, pen, beanie hat, scarf (and sometimes a small book or my small Bible). The lower back pocket struck me as super strange at first, but I've learned to love it for gloves/hats/scarves. Also, the particular style of the pockets is helpful. Having a drop in, a mini cargo, two large cargo pockets, an inner security pocket, hand warmer pockets under the large cargo pockets, and a lower back pocket gives great versatility. 3. The large size also means it's comfortable to work in, which is why it's in their work wear line. I have some other coats which are ostensibly for construction work, but they pull on my elbows, shoulders, and armpits when I'm lifting things or reaching. This coat is practical, so it's roomy for active work days. As I said above, it intentionally has layering room. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it on in the store with a thick cotton sweater underneath. 4. Despite its large size, it keeps its shape well. It doesn't look super misshapen and baggy after use. It holds its form fairly well. Part of this is aided by the adjustable cuffs. 5. The buttons and zipper seem to be really beefy and strong, which hints that they will last a long time. 6. I like the low back. Keeps you warm and dry when you sit on something cold or damp. 7. The jacket keeps me warm with just a T-shirt under it down to the mid-30s Fahrenheit (unless there's a chilling wind - then it's only good into the mid 40s). But surprisingly it still breathes pretty well if I wear it in mid 60 degree weather. Maybe this is an attribute of hemp? Not sure. 8. I like that the style dresses up and down. I can throw on nice jeans and polished boots with my hair done, and this jacket still looks sharp and eye-catching. Conversely, I can wear this thing as I work or camp and it doesn't look out of place at all. A great all-around coat. This is my first Patagonia product, and I am very pleased. I hope Patagonia's work wear line really takes off. Next, I plan on trying the Farrier Shirt and Shop Shirt.
Tough fabric but soft to the touch. Fit and finish are very good. This coat will last a long time. Easy to put on and off. 5’9” and 169 lbs. Athletic build and medium fits very well.
As comfortable as a well worn old friend from the very first wear. Not too stiff, surprisingly soft, but also tough. Just warm enough on its own for cool to moderately cold days while working, loose-fitting enough to layer with a nice warm sweater or flannel for those extra cold days. From the first time I put it on, I knew it was my new favorite c... Read Moreoat. I'm almost sad to think winter will one day be over and I will need to put this jacket away for the season.
I honesty believe this coat deserves a better average rating than is shown. Is it big? Yes. But it is a barn coat and the Pat folks do not hide that in their description. Is it too big? Perhaps. But this depends on the person. For those seeking a sleek and more form-fitting garment, you best look elsewhere. For those seeking a garment that is roomy... Read More and suitable for layering and much outdoor work, this is the ticket. I purchased this coat to replace a similar insulated and reversible flannel coat from Patagonia that had finally gone thread-bare after about 15 years. When I first received that previous garment in Large size (my normal size purchase from Patagonia), I felt it too was a bit large initially. But I grew to appreciate the room it offered and dearly loved it in the end. This new barn coat has about the exact same room in the torso. I am about 175#, 5'11" and I purchased a Large. I am an average build. If I had gone to a Medium on this, I am pretty sure the sleeves would have been too short and possibly a bit restrictive. The feel of the coat fabric is very nice and pliable. I love the slickness of the inner lining as that makes it easy to slip on over sweaters and other similar fabrics. My only wish is that the front draft flap had a third snap in the along the center. I feel that just two snaps (one on the top and one on the bottom) do not offer enough of a secure closure. But this is just me being picky. Great coat! It will last for years, I am certain.
I tried the large and its HUGE in the mid section. I am 5'10" and 185. I could fit an entire pillow inside this jacket. I then tried the medium and felt the mid section was fine however the arms were a bit tight especially if I wore a layer underneath. I wish they put the large arms on the medium body... then it would be correct.
Have had this jacket through the winter so far. Working outdoors in the Colorado Rockies,a 30 degree day is relatively warm. This jacket has kept me warm and dry through heavy wind and snow squalls while moving pipe. Plenty of room to layer a vest or a sweater underneath and on the coldest days do. Strenuous activity and I warm up real quick.
The... Read More collar is nice and stays up to keep wind out. There is a LOT of room in the Midsection as others have said so you will definitely appear larger than you are. Sleeves are the perfect length too. Highly recommend this coat to anyone who wants a warm coat that stands up to abrasion and water and rust and road salt and anything else that comes your way. Great jacket for working all day or just for looking good with a beer around a fire too
I bought this to replace a my favorite coat that has been repaired a bunch of times. I think I've been wearing it so long,it's in fashion again.
About this coat: I wear a size XL in nearly everything. I ordered a size Large for this after reading some reviews.
I am marking it as "Runs Large",but that's not entirely true a... Read Mores the shoulders are quite narrow. I can't imagine the shape of the person who fit this jacket perfectly.
The mid section is far too large and bellows out a lot. It's just plain HUGE around the middle. I can't possibly wear it this way and must return it.
I love all the features of this jacket. Material and construction are all solid and the insulation is good,but you will need additional layers for colder temperatures. The variety of pockets is great,with the coolest being the pocket on the back. I found myself using that much more than I thought I would. I have no complaints about the zipper as it... Read More's larger than what's on most jackets.
Sizing- I'm 5'11",180 and I decided on Large. I initially bought a Medium,but the arms were too small so I had to exchange. The fit is true to size for a relaxed fit item. It's big in the body and long,but it was purposely cut that way and still doesn't look bad even though it is large on me.
I don't know how anyone comfortably sizes down in this jacket - when I layered under the Medium I could hardly move my arms. Even in Large the sleeves,at the elbow and shoulder,are still restrictive,which is disappointing. I wouldn't consider myself to be broad in the arms or shoulder either. However,the sleeve issue isn't enough for me to give up on this jacket. Still a solid buy if you're in the market for a cool weather work jacket.
This is a solid coat for moderately cold and dry weather. It's a lot softer than the usual cotton duck canvas. It's still pretty heavy but not as stiff. The fit is true to size in the chest with the sleeves being just a little shorter than the old technical jackets that were available in relaxed fit. Relaxed fit is good for people that la... Read Moreyer a ton,people with broad builds,or overweight people. If you don't fall into one of those categories there are plenty of other regular fit or slim fit options. My only complaint is that there's an area on the back near the neck where there's canvas inside instead of the insulation lining and that causes a cold spot in really cold weather.
I'm 6' 1" and weigh 180 lbs. I work outside on a farm. The size medium fits me. I like the all pockets and the material feels durable. It's easy to move in,but it's not warm at all. I have to wear a down vest under it all the time and add a sweat shirt under that on really cold days. Even with all those layers the medium fi... Read Morets best. The main zipper is small so I'm not sure that will hold up over time
Longtime Patagonia fan,especially their fly fishing gear. My SST wading jacket just turned 20 years old and still rocks.
Ok,the barn coat.. As mentioned in previous reviews,it IS sized big. As long as you know that going in it isn't a problem at all. I'm a rather 'portly' fellow and usually wear a XXL but ordered the XL after r... Read Moreeading the comments. Fits great through the chest,waist,shoulders. The sleeves are XL length and not XXL length. They're actually fine and finding sleeves long enough for me is always a challenge. I could still easily fit a sweater under this thing even as it's one size smaller than I usually buy.
The material is crazy comfortable. Not at all like 'the other' workwear brand. I like their stuff too but it's always stiff. This coat feels like it was broken-in right out of the box and wondered if the Fed-Ex guy wore it for a month before I got it.Great pocket s and closures. Stitching is stout and the zipper appears to be strong,something 'the other' workwear brand always seems to have issues with. The collar is nice but wish it were a bit taller in the back.
As far as warmth,I guess that's a relative thing. I'm in New England and haven't found it as warm as some have described. Not sure I'd wear it snowblowing w/o layering-up,but in warmer climes it'd likely be fine. Also,wore it out in a really cold rain just before Thanksgiving and the material really seemed to suck up anything that fell on it. Even a bit damp I still looked pretty darn cool wearing it.
I'd definitely buy it again and would recommend it to anyone that asked.
Bought this for a winter deer capture field season. The jacket seems to be constructed beautifully,but it certainly runs very big. I wear an XL in EVERYTHING and this XL was too long/large in almost all capacities.
I can tell this coat is really well made and will last,but it's way too big. I'm a wind turbine tech up north and a smaller guy and Patagonia seems to make the only jackets that tend to fit,but relaxed fit might as well just mean 2 sizes too big. Small Patagonia jackets always are the perfect fit for me,but I'm swimming in this. It&#... Read Morex27;s so bagging I have no choice,but to return this and look at better options. I really wish they didn't make it a relaxed fit or at least added different smaller fits.
