When you hear of a barn coat you think of something you would wear on a farm. In reality these coats or jackets can be worn anywhere. They are lightweight coats and look very similar in style to a button down shirt. Men’s barn coats generally have a standard pointed collar and angle side pockets. Some styles such as the Woolrich barn coat also come with a lining. Some may have an accent color collar which is in contrast to the color of the coat itself.
The coats are a good choice if you live in climates that have seasonal changes. They give a bit of warmth on chilly autumn days or in the cooler days of spring. The barn coat can be worn with a variety of different types of outfits. You can wear the coat with jeans and a t-shirt or flannel shirt. You can also wear the coat with corduroy or khaki pants. You can get the barn coats in muted colors such as gray or brown as well as in more stylish colors such as ocean blue and off white. The coats are very durable and easy to care for. Most of the coats are machine washable.
If you live or work in an area where it gets very cold you might want to get a coat with a thicker lining. You can find the longer barn jackets with shearling linings for added warmth from the elements. These thicker coats come in a soft brushed suede style and should be cleaned professionally. Many of the barn coats for women come in a longer car coat style. The coat comes down to the mid-thigh region making it a coat that can be worn with skirts as well as pants.
Many of these types of coats come in comfortable cotton denim or canvas styles. When weatherproofed, the coats can be worn in rainy weather as well as in sunny. You can even find some quilted coats such as the quilted kid’s barn coat for added warmth. Some of the different styles also have different accents such as the deep snap flap pockets and corduroy accent trim. You can even find the barn jackets in styles for baby. Most of the children’s jackets come in more rich and vivid colors such as royal blue and pink.
While the origin of the coat may have been from the old days on the farm, the styles today are far from it. Today the term barn simply refers to the style of the cut of the coat. While you certainly could wear these coats for working in a barn, you would probably want to wear them for far more types of activities than that. The coat is versatile enough to be worn as an everyday coat all around town.

Finding outwear that can span more than one season can be somewhat tricky, but mens barns coats are sure to provide enough warmth and coverage for more than one season of wear. These coats are medium weight and made from durable materials. They were traditionally worn by people that worked outside in the fields. They are heavy enough to keep a person warm but also lightweight enough that a person can still be pretty active without feeling confined or limited by bulkiness that is characterized by other types of coats.
Nearly all barn coats are made from high quality materials. Coats of these types that are made for men are usually made in neutral colors such as black, brown, beige and hunter green. Men’s coats are usually made from a cotton canvas or corduroy which are materials that are durable but also casually chic. Also, most of these coats are made slightly large which allows an individual to wear sweaters or other items with weight and still have room to wear the coat without feeling bulky. These coats can also be lined with wool or other insulating materials which helps to provide warmth. Elbow patches, reinforced stitching on the collars and the use of snaps instead of buttons on these types of coats provide durability.
A barn coat is just not for men. The style of this coat can be used to create coats for women also. Barn coats for women have the same classic style that the men’s coats possess except women’s coats are often made in different materials and with more body defining fits. Women’s coats are still made to protect from the wind and other elements, but the traditional corduroy, cotton and suede accents are combined with materials such as microfiber which are usually more feminine. Many of these coats that are made specifically for women may have tapered seams or a drawstring waist which allows for the accentuation of a women’s physique.
There are many companies that sell barn coats for both men and women. An individual can find these types of coats at many of the popular outdoor stores. Such stores as L.L.Bean, Lands End and Woolrich offer these coats at quality prices. The woolrich barn coat is made for both men and women and can be purchased for a reasonable price. This coat includes many of the classic features of a barn coat which include the suede or corduroy details, the two large pockets on the front of the coat and a warm lining. The coats from woolrich can be made from a variety of materials which include twill, corduroy, suede, fleece and cotton canvas.  Likewise, when purchasing a coat from woolrich and many of the more popular outdoors stores an individual is guaranteed a quality product.

Much like blue jeans, barn coats for women and men comfortably straddle the line between sturdy working clothes and stylish fashion. Today’s barn coats are noted for good insulation, plentiful pockets for storing tools and other items, quilted linings, and their incredibly ubiquitous folded collars and long sleeves. The majority of available fashions tend towards solid colors rather than patterns (with the exception of contrasting color in the turned collars), and are equally divided between buttoned and zipper-based designs.
Regardless of whether you buy a heavy brand name product such as a Woolrich barn coat or something more generic, it’s generally understood that these products are bought for, first and foremost, suitable wear for outdoors. Barn coats are thick, slightly weighty, and durable, intended to be used primarily outside even if they also wear well indoors. Modern designs are also very comfortable, however, and good-looking enough to be generally versatile in use. While you wouldn’t generally wear one specifically for a party or other social event, you might wear one for outdoor labor and then not bother to change for a social event afterwards, for example. The design of these coats is very distinctly blue collar.
These kinds of coats are made with an outer shell of a protective material and an inner lining of a softer material. Outer materials are often a form of cotton canvas, although microsuede and various kinds of leather are also popular. The inner lining is generally polyester or nylon. To enhance the warming aspect of the coats, down is often used as a filler inside, between the two layers. While down is a very effective insulation material, one should keep in mind that it becomes useless when damp, and therefore coats with primarily down filling should be avoided for rainy conditions.
When shopping for a barn coat, you may notice prices as low as thirty or forty dollars. However, much of the expense of a coat lies in the base materials, and if you go for a cheap coat you may end up with one that is less comfortable and less insulating. A very good quality coat will cost around seventy or eighty dollars, with prices much higher than that being the realm of fashion statements that do little to add to the inherent value of the product. Sizes will also, of course, influence this price, as always with clothing. If your child needs a coat, you can find a very satisfactory kids’ barn coat in the forty dollar range simply because less material is needed. Finding coats for children that mimic or match the more sophisticated styles of adult versions is difficult at best, but since children generally don’t care anyway, this can’t exactly be said to be a serious disadvantage.

Traditional barn coats are usually constructed of rugged cotton twill or pre-washed canvas.  They are designed for working out of doors.  They keep you warm, allow you to move and have pockets to hold tools.  They are built to last from tough materials, with reinforced stitching and an interior flannel lining that may or may not zip out.  They usually have some sort of treatment to make them water resistant, because if you are going to be working out of doors then sooner or later you are going to be working in the rain.   Men’s barn coats fasten in the front with buttons, not zippers, and fall to about mid-hip or just a little longer.
They sound rough and tough, and they are, but you don’t have to be a man to wear a barn coat!  Barn coats for women are very common, and a kids’ barn coat is about as durable as anything a kid can wear.  They are great for general wear, for working around the garage (if you lack the barn) for wearing on outdoor trips, doing cold-weather lawn and garden work, going into town to buy supplies – just about anything!
A good barn coat will generally run you about $100.  If you pay more than that, you are really just paying more for a label or for looks, not the quality of the jacket.  A Woolrich barn coat is a good example.  Woolrich is well known as a provider of rugged, outdoor apparel.  Their barn jackets are durable and well made.  You can find them on the Woolrich website, or you can buy them from many local retailers.  A “typical” price for one of their barn jackets is in the $80 to $90 range.  However, they also sell them for up to $140, and the only difference seems to be that the liner is polyester instead of flannel and the more expensive one has been pre-washed to give it a more broken-in feeling.
Most Woolrich gear can be found on someone’s website as a “discontinued model,” and these jackets are no exception.  Same great product, same great Woolrich quality, but because it’s a clearance item you can find it for $40 or less.  Woolrich outerwear is also sold at retail locations.  They have a store locator on their website that lists vendors who carry their clothing line by zip code.  If there is a retailer close to you, then you might want to go there to see how great these coats feel.  The best time to outerwear is usually in the spring, because vendors know that they won’t be selling coats until it gets colder again and often mark the products with deep discounts in order to move the merchandise.
