Patagonia also owns and runs the largest garment repair shop in the United States, and if your rip or tear your jacket, they will repair it free of charge, regardless of if you have the proof or purchase or not and even if you bought it second hand. They don’t ask. They feel like if it has their name on it, they are responsible for keeping it in service. And when it’s beyond repair or your tired of it you can sell it back to them for store credit towards a new one (not much, but better than just throwing it away or giving it to goodwill, and hey, part of your old jacket might be used to make or repair a new one!) This policy cannot be ignored when factoring in price. While Duluth has an exceptional warranty program that has personally never given me any hassle, Patagonia is the only company I’ve seen come close to topping it. (And some of their work wear, like the denim work jacket are still usa made) I’ve had multiple jackets from all three companies for years and you can’t go wrong with any of these companies, but just had to chime in on Patagonia’s best kept secret that’s not a secret! Stepping off my soapbox. Great video!
One thing you've forgotten to mention is the drape of the fabrics. The Patagonia lays flat on the body and falls very well against the thighs. However the other two stick out and provide large gaps for cold air to travel. After owning several Carhart jackets that always were stiff after years of wear (and terrible cuffs), I tried a Patagonia and love it. On my third winter with it on the farm and it's the best jacket I've ever owned.
I hate when Duluth does the rendered graphic illustrations over just a simple picture in the products page. Also they go through product designs way to quick
It's very well priced for Patagonia. Conspicuously good value for the durability. Patagonia prices in Europe are eye-watering & unlikely many brands the sales are infrequent.
Clearly, this channel should have more subscribers, For every major functional work purchase I make I check if Carl has reviewed it or what is his opinion on the subject or category. Thank you for your help over the years.
I am 9 years old and work in Cambodia as a weaver for Carhartt. I work many hours, sometimes a few breaks during CCP holiday. I like this mind numbing work better than finding old land mines.
Working manual labor since high school (37 now), ive always worn carhartt jackets since it gets cold here in minnesota when working outside.... but honestly i didnt know patagonia even had a workwear option. I always thought the patagonia stuff was for the hipster community and city dwellers much like a north face brand. I wear a lot of duluth trading pants and they are the best ive ever tried personally but now i kinda want to give the patagonia jacket a try because it really does look great from your review. thanks for the video.
Patagonia is definitely more core-user oriented than north face. Yeah city people wear it, but they make it for the hardcore climbers and such. When it comes to workwear, seems like the same is true. I have the apron and I have talked to friends and the durability is great. Especially surprising since the fabric is so soft and supple right out of the box
Duluth for me, I need all the pockets lol. Sizing for Duluth is a little weird sometimes but they make good stuff 👍 They also have 30% off sitewide sales pretty often.
I recently converted to Duluth for work pants and those sales make it awesome just order 2 pairs at a time when they’re on sale then over 6 months you’re set on 5 years worth of pants without breaking the bank
Good timing on this and good review, but I'd probably go with the Carhartt over the others for two reasons, one is the metal zipper for rough use, and where I am Carhartt is sold in several stores so I can walk in and try it on first and know what I'm getting, but I really like the pockets on the Duluth.
I had one of the Duluth jackets and the overalls. Still wear the overalls but the zipper on the jacket didn't last a single winter. That was a common complaint in the reviews on the jackets at the time.
I own the Carhartt, its not bad at all but its definitely not my favorite. I bought it for $30 in the middle of summer on the clearance rack, 100% worth that but not worth full price. The thing I hate about the jacket is the zipper pockets, they are rough AF and will jack your hands up if youre not careful. Other than that, its not a bad jacket if you get it on sale edit- nevermind, this jacket is slightly different than mine, the pockets arent zippered
I own the hooded version of the Duluth Superior coat. It is super warm but the hooded version does not have the drop tail on the back like the non hooded one featured in this video. The biggest gripe I have is the plastic zipper teeth, for the price, it should be metal. I'm going on my second winter with this coat with no problems so far. The pockets are great!
My Carhartt clothes have lasted since the day I bought them 16 years ago. Duluth Trading falls apart after a few days to 6 mos. I work outside daily year round with sled dogs they are extremely tough on clothes.
What are you a salesperson? , no way, carhartt materials are so much thinner . I am arborist and climb trees everyday so wear and tear is more than getting pulled behind a sled and I wear the Duluth firehose pants at the east 16 hours a day.
The lining is my most important aspect. I vanty stand the nylon linings. I've been looking, desperately, for that classic Carhartt blanket lined jacket. Full blanket lined. Sleeves and everything. If anyone has heard of one let me know!
Fantastic video, as always. Just a note: the two things I’ve bought from Patagonia were actually on the small end of true size. If you’re reading this considering Patagonia wear, make sure to definitely explore their sizing guide.
Patagonia’s sizing in general is actually slim. However their workwear is sized about one size bigger than normal. I almost swim in the large Ranch Jacket but I don’t mind because I tend to layer beneath it when working out in the cold.
I'm searching for a jacket for wilderness field work in the winter and came across the women's version of these three brands in particular. I've been a huge fan of Duluth women's workwear-- the actual toughness is usually on par with the men's offerings and the fit is stellar. They're not perfect, missing some things like excessive pockets (that I actually use!) and the reinforcements on the cuffs, but they're leagues beyond almost every other major brand for *women's* clothing.
As a welder I go through some jackets. So far carhartt has lasted the longest im gonna try the duluth next. If i get 2 or 3 winyers out of it I'm a happy man
@Izzy Roses i got the duluth firehose carpenter pants, and they're definitely tougher than anything else I've had. I havent yet tried patagonia but i am planning on it. But all in all Duluth is 10/10 in my book
Seconding to buy a size small with Patagonia. I bought their Down Sweater Jacket in an XL since I mostly wear XL with all other brands due to my extensive belly size (haha) However this was way to big and the L version still fits loosely if you don’t layer up underneath!
As a welder its a shame how much workwear is mixed with polyester and other flammable/synthetic materials makes what I can wear fairly limited but can never go wrong with some nice Denim or Duck workwear and ofc Leather
I have a coat not by any of the manufacturers (a Bear Grylls branded jacket with a removable hood by a now-defunct company). There are several features that finally wore the coat out that I want to be wary of and can see them appearing in some (not all) coats from Duluth, Patagonia, and Carhartt: 1. The zipper had too fine of a gauge and used the single-wire-plastic method of construction. This killed the zipper eventually, since the pull would jump tracks or not latch properly when trying to zip it up, and even when zipped up, the strain would sometimes pull the two sides apart. 2. Velcro secured storm-flaps. Velcro is okay for casual wear, but over time it builds up hair and stuff and the two sides lose their ability to tangle together like they're supposed to. Since they were there as a redundant layer of security that is now gone, I'm left with a coat I can't close in the middle of winter. I think it's reasonable to foresee the Duluth's interior pocket velcro turning into nothing but a loose flap that doesn't close eventually. If something has a button, toggle, zipper, rivet snaps, etc., it's got its own problems, but I think Velcro is the least durable of the lot. 3. Polyamide material (aka nylon) that is single-layer and way too thin. Some of the coats here use nylon. It might be good for keeping the coat light (since the down filling is already heavy), but any abrasion allows tearing. It's literally coming apart at the seems. It's probably more due to the thinness, since nylon and polyester are supposed to do well with abrasion. I have some polyester gloves that are also coming apart, and I think it's because of the very thin, single-layer design, rather than the material itself. 4. No quilting. Any jacket that uses loose material like thinsulate or down relies on air pockets in the material. If it gets washed, it takes a special kind of detergent to keep it fluffy, and some tennis balls or something to get the insulation back into its loose form. If it's simply sandwiched between two big layers, the material can clump together and can't really be reworked into a loose form. 5. Insufficient measures to keep the torso secure. If I bend over at the waist, the whole jacket starts to slip off, like you'd expect any other heavy garment with a slick lining to do. The only way I could see this being prevented would be to either wear overalls, to have buttons or something that could secure the jacket's interior to pants, or to have a piece of fabric connect the back part of the jacket to the front by passing through the legs (although I'd definitely hesitate with this option since it would look strange and unusual).
I was eyeing that Carhartt last year. I've had my current one since '12 or '13. Sleeves and cuffs are wore out. I like how this new version seems to take care of that. Hopefully I'll get another good 10 years or so out of it.
I bought Patagonia’s pants from this same line and I couldn’t believe how rugged but pliable their fabric felt. Unlike their jackets however, their pants run small (for me) I wear a 38, I ordered a 40 and they were still too tight.
Since I am not in the market for a jacket at this time I did not watch all the way through. Great job though. So if you addressed this subject I’m sorry to repeat. I am very familiar with all 3 of these companies and When Patagonia first started up I was in heaven. I liked everything about them except 1 thing which means I will never ever buy anything from them again. The problem with me is that I am sort of tall. 6’4”. Their stuff just don’t fit. I have had a Carhartt duck jacket for more than 15 years. I wear it all winter & it is disreputable. When I buy a new one either Carhartt or Duluth will be the choice foe me. Thank you. Keep up the good work. .
Do you have any recommendations on trench coats? My low rider duster from the australian outback collection is now on its last legs and I am looking for something that will keep me dry for another 10 years on wet Oregon trails.
Good review! I have an Alaskan Hardgear jacket from Duluth and love it. Looks like you could have gone down a size in the Duluth and Carhartt jackets as well.
bought a carhartt jacket last year for work...it lasted an entire 3 days before it was covered in tears and was useless. Gonna try patagonia this year.
What a great video! I'd like to get the Patagonia, but I'm worried about the fit. Would anyone have advice for me regarding sizing? I think that a medium would fit best in most regards, but I'm unsure about three things: -I'm 5'5, with a sleeve length of about 32-33". Tough to measure that on my own -I have a 44" chest -My arms are 16" at the biceps Would my upper back fit in a medium? Would my arms bend comfortably in the sleeves? And would a medium stop just below my waist, or go all the way down to mid-thigh? Most jackets that fit my upper torso and arms will be too big in every other regard. Edit: I got a medium Barn coat. The sleeves are the right length. The waiste is too big and the coat a bit too long. The shoulders and back are too tight in certain positions. The arms are a bit tight as well. All in all, the fit is okay enough. No jacket ever fits perfectly for me anyway. And as a coat, the quality is amazing. I feel like it's built to last, it looks good, and has nice features.
Dude, this video was perfect I will subscribe and like!!! This is the only video I’ve seen on RUclips comparing these three products very very informational please do more I have one more request I can’t find any videos of the Duluth trading coat item number 85409 can you please do a comparison or at least a product review???? Thank you in advance.
Hey man I hope that you'd consider making more videos like this and maybe even having some more affordable options like dickies and genuine dickies and kind of tell us what the better or worse things are about going with something for the cheaper price and I would also really like it if you went back over the different denim brands and how well they function as work clothes like comparing levis wrangler and lees as they all have work pants and jackets offerings, still loving the videos and the effort thanks man
I just don’t like that these companies don’t make their products in the US. I buy American Giant (US Made) and yes their expensive but definitely will last these three jackets. I don’t know if you have reviewed their stuff.
I’ve been a stone mason for over thirty years in the northern northeastern U.S. Patagonia is to expensive and to street! carhart all anyone who ever wears them is worried about is how to break them in I wore a carhart work coat for a couple of years and tore it to shreds , duluth is the only work clothes I’ll buy or wear , they make clothes for Working men and women, and make accommodations in their clothing for how these people move on the job.I’ve been wearing their fire hose jack shirt for the past five years and all that’s happened to it is fading. I’ve never worn their boots though, I go with keen
You didnt include Dickies? I got a Dickies jean work jacket a few years ago and it was awesome!!! Wouldnt get a Carhartt though, it is expensive around here.
Have you ever heard of the powder river company. They make clothing for cowboys. They have some cool traditional clothes and some more contemporary outerwear.
I understand it, but I don’t like how Duluth adds the filter on their online products. Takes away from visualizing what the item looks like in real life.
Duluth pushes their products as superior quality, which for the most part I would agree is true. However I ended up with 10 shirts from Duluth that were sub-par to garbage quality and the reviews show I am not alone (see Mock T long sleeves). Tried to get some help from Duluth and was over the warranty by 10 months (1 year warranty). No help at all offered. Not what I expected from their customer service, but there you have it. I will be looking elsewhere for better quality shirts.

Duluth's warranty isn't as good as it used to be but it's still pretty good.
And the winner is....the working man, three great options to choose from. Great video!

Agreed! The updraft in a lot of the carhartt jackets is crazy.
Plus, Patagonia has a lifetime guarantee that they honor 100%. Once you wear it out, they’ll send you a new one.
frayed cuffs on Carhart..........always
Patagonia is for frat boys.
@@buzinga935 don't you mean Carthart? The company is going WOKE presently.
I hate when Duluth does the rendered graphic illustrations over just a simple picture in the products page. Also they go through product designs way to quick
I agree.. I would VERY MUCH prefer an array of sharp, clear high rez photos so really take in the details.
Holy shit thank you. Drives me nuts with the fake pics
That Patagonia jacket looks pretty cool to me.
Ik right? I scoffed at them at first but shit its looking good. I'm gunna have to wait a bit though I just snagged a new carhartt last fall haha
It's very well priced for Patagonia. Conspicuously good value for the durability. Patagonia prices in Europe are eye-watering & unlikely many brands the sales are infrequent.
Their workwear line is legit.
Cool is not enough.
yea, but if its for work, it should be function over style.

I bought the Patagonia jacket because of this video. Thank you mate! Its the best jacket I've ever owned!
I switched from carhartt to Patagonia and I couldn’t be happier. The quality justifies the higher price tag.

Shop online.
Got the Carhartt. Love everything about it. Fit is perfect and it's warmer than I expected. Thanks!
Nice! Its really a lot better than the specs would indicate. Great jacket

to this day the best jacket i own is from old navy.. i got it when i was a teenager and it still is in great shape. ive even worn it dirtbike riding.
Hello Mr. Murawski,
Great review site keep up the good work. Have you ever worn or reviewed the cotton work jacket by Blacklader? Thank you!
Seconding to buy a size small with Patagonia. I bought their Down Sweater Jacket in an XL since I mostly wear XL with all other brands due to my extensive belly size (haha)
However this was way to big and the L version still fits loosely if you don’t layer up underneath!
So if I wear a small Patagonia down jacket should I go to xs for the rancher or stick with the small
I was waiting for this video do more on these 3 companies
Carhartt for me! I like the hood option and bungy cord hem.

How breathable are these jackets for high-energy work outside in very cold conditions?
The lack of a add on hood stopped me from getting the Patagonia. It is a beautiful Jacket. Maybe I'll still get it
I have the carhartt jacket and love it. Fits great and is warm
Excellent review! I've got the Carhartt and love it.
Damn I love this channel. Awesome stuff, big thanks from Sweden 😄👍🏻
Dude that video is beyound quality. Easy sub from me keep it up
What shirt is that, I haven’t seen one with tapered sleeves?
The old faithful Carhartt j140 jacket is still made right here in the USA. That’s what does it for me. Buy American when you can.
Oh ok ! nothing is truly american , their main production is in Mexico and they outsource from China
The critical question from me: which jackets are available in tall sizes? Otherwise a very informative video. Keep up the good work.
The Carhartt definitely, but I’m not sure about Duluth or Patagonia unfortunately.
Carhartt and Duluth have tall sizes in those particular jackets.
What a great video! I'd like to get the Patagonia, but I'm worried about the fit.
Would anyone have advice for me regarding sizing? I think that a medium would fit best in most regards, but I'm unsure about three things:
-I'm 5'5, with a sleeve length of about 32-33". Tough to measure that on my own
-I have a 44" chest
-My arms are 16" at the biceps
Would my upper back fit in a medium? Would my arms bend comfortably in the sleeves? And would a medium stop just below my waist, or go all the way down to mid-thigh? Most jackets that fit my upper torso and arms will be too big in every other regard.
Edit: I got a medium Barn coat. The sleeves are the right length. The waiste is too big and the coat a bit too long. The shoulders and back are too tight in certain positions. The arms are a bit tight as well.
All in all, the fit is okay enough. No jacket ever fits perfectly for me anyway. And as a coat, the quality is amazing. I feel like it's built to last, it looks good, and has nice features.
typically get a large for jackets to fit to size however youll find with the weight of the patagonia a nice fit makes it 1000Xs better, i downsized
have 15 different similar coats, patagonias my go to for best fit and warmth
@@ZachL9867 They sure are really nice jackets/coats.
I am curious about the zipper, the Carhart Zippers have yet to let me down, Not sure about the plastic zipper in the Duluth

This is the only video I’ve seen on RUclips comparing these three products very very informational please do more I have one more request I can’t find any videos of the Duluth trading coat item number 85409 can you please do a comparison or at least a product review???? Thank you in advance.
Thank you! I’ll certainly try!
Cool theme, very well presented! 👍🏻
Much appreciated man!
Which is the warmest & down to what temp?
I like the look of the Patagonia
Hey man I hope that you'd consider making more videos like this and maybe even having some more affordable options like dickies and genuine dickies and kind of tell us what the better or worse things are about going with something for the cheaper price and I would also really like it if you went back over the different denim brands and how well they function as work clothes like comparing levis wrangler and lees as they all have work pants and jackets offerings, still loving the videos and the effort thanks man
Yea I know.
I bougjt a Dickies jacket some years ago. Great jacket! Through and thru
Been tempted to buy one and DIY tin cloth it.
I haven't had a lot of luck with the recycled polyester in anything I've tried. It adds a premium cost while reducing it lifespan.
Hey! I'm from Duluth. :D
I have a Dri Duck Cheyenne. I never had any of tge other brands. Love it.
Informative video thanks
I just don’t like that these companies don’t make their products in the US. I buy American Giant (US Made) and yes their expensive but definitely will last these three jackets. I don’t know if you have reviewed their stuff.
I had a quick look at their website. Looks like casual wear, nothing you would wear for work or on the trail or at the crag.
I’ve been a stone mason for over thirty years in the northern northeastern U.S. Patagonia is to expensive and to street! carhart all anyone who ever wears them is worried about is how to break them in I wore a carhart work coat for a couple of years and tore it to shreds , duluth is the only work clothes I’ll buy or wear , they make clothes for Working men and women, and make accommodations in their clothing for how these people move on the job.I’ve been wearing their fire hose jack shirt for the past five years and all that’s happened to it is fading. I’ve never worn their boots though, I go with keen
I have the Carhartt and I like but I'm little to slim so the wind is cooling my belly quite quickly
I wish you could have also done the Gilson Tin Cloth and Shelter Cloth
The carhart Yukon extreme is pretty bad ass. Idk how it could be topped
I'm going Duluth but I'd like to see those new Carhartts in person to try them out.
I just ordered the Duluth jacket I had the Cryder jacket but returned it because it was not as warm as I hoped for.
Been waiting for this!!
Do you have any experience with Dri Duck? They seem fairly new to the market but most of their products have good reviews
I just bought the Cheyenne, worth every penny.
Please do a review of the L.L. Bean Explorer jacket.
patagonia does great work to make their close as sustainable as possible which is something more companies should be doing
You didnt include Dickies? I got a Dickies jean work jacket a few years ago and it was awesome!!! Wouldnt get a Carhartt though, it is expensive around here.
Duluth all the way! Been a carpenter for 48years, and there products by far out perform by far!
Great job on this video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
You should do a video on work vests
Can anyone tell me about the sizing of Patagonia's jackets, specifically this Hemp Ranch jacket. I would normally buy a 2XT/3XL Carhartt jacket.
Have you ever heard of the powder river company. They make clothing for cowboys. They have some cool traditional clothes and some more contemporary outerwear.
I understand it, but I don’t like how Duluth adds the filter on their online products. Takes away from visualizing what the item looks like in real life.
Yeah that drives me nuts, I don’t want an artists rendering of what the product looks like!
@@CarlMurawski , I wouldn’t mind a few more vids including Patagonia vs Columbia. A bit “snobby” of a stereotype but they do offer great products.
a sewn in holster would be great
to be a combat as you stated
Excellent review. Thanks
I love my carhartt but the cuffs go out quickly @ 3-4 years of daily (3 season) use
You should do a similar video but with vests
Duluth pushes their products as superior quality, which for the most part I would agree is true. However I ended up with 10 shirts from Duluth that were sub-par to garbage quality and the reviews show I am not alone (see Mock T long sleeves). Tried to get some help from Duluth and was over the warranty by 10 months (1 year warranty). No help at all offered. Not what I expected from their customer service, but there you have it. I will be looking elsewhere for better quality shirts.
