Carhartt Bartlett Jacket vs Carhartt Loose Fit Firm Duck Insulated Coat

Both are Carhartt duck work coats, but they solve different problems. The Bartlett is the softer, more flexible everyday jacket: washed 12 oz cotton duck, sherpa-lined body and hood, Cordura-reinforced cuffs and a bi-swing back that moves with you. The Loose Fit Firm Duck Insulated Coat is the heavier, stiffer cold-weather shell: firm duck, quilted synthetic insulation, water-repellent finish and a two-way zipper. Owners praise Carhartt's durability on both; the Bartlett wins on comfort and hood coverage, the insulated coat wins on warmth and weather resistance.

• Choose the Carhartt Bartlett if you want one broken-in jacket for cool to cold days that moves easily, has a hood, and looks fine off the jobsite.
• Choose the Carhartt Loose Fit Firm Duck Insulated Coat if you work outdoors in real winter cold and want maximum warmth, water repellency and a roomy layer over sweaters.
