Carhart winter coat, was their “contractors coat” or some such when I bought it about 20 years ago. Long, comes down to mid thigh, with an inner pull string to snug it up at about hip level. Dual zipper, so you can unzip the bottom when you get in a car, still keeps you warm, but doesn’t then ride up or bunch up. Has normal sleeve ends, no elastic cuffs. Good sized hand pockets, covered by big cargo pockets with flaps. Inner breast pocket, plus two zippered breast pockets on the front.
So far, the original black plastic snaps started to break. I replaced them with chromed brass snaps from the local Jo Ann Fabric. And one of the zipper pulls wore out. That was replaced by a local seamstress, $5 and 5 minutes out the door. The fabric, stitching, and lining are all in very good shape, no problems there at all.
I’m in Northern Illinois. This is good down to about 5F for clearing the snow off my truck and driving to work, back when I used to do that (work from home now, no commute). It’s reasonably wind proof. Colder than 5F, there’s enough room to supplement with a hoodie or something like that under it.
For snow blowing, garage work (unheated), and outdoor winter work, I have a pair of house brand insulated coveralls from Farm & Fleet. With a neoprene face mask, ski goggles, and the hood up, -20F, wind, and blowing snow are no problem.
