I a 5'5, 128lbs woman, and I've been in the market for a sturdy work jacket that can withstand some abuse and keep me warm in sub-freezing temps. My husband found a great jacket at Walmart for only $50...imagine my surprise when I discovered not a single quality women's duck work coat for less than about $100. I finally settled on this, because it was much more affordable than any of the options for ladies.Unsurprisingly, this coat is cut for a man - broad shoulders, with a straight waist. It fits like a motorcycle jacket in the arms and shoulders - it's a little bulky, but it also means full arm/shoulder mobility for lifting and moving stuff. The wide band around the bottom means the jacket rides up a bit when I'm moving around a lot.This is a good option for women looking for a solid coat to wear around the farm or whatever. Maybe someday Berne will make a version for women!
