I grew up envying my Dad and Grandpa’s farm coats. Whenever you walked into the garage of my grandparents house, there would be a line of warm coats and coveralls, many emblazoned with a seed corn company name, chemical company logo or feed company name. My Dad’s closets held the same. And I’d often try to steal one of his coats to wear to the field. But there were big and bulky! But I felt pretty special wearing them.
In the past 16 years, I’ve done the same thing to my Farmer. He has Carhartt’s with the farm name on them and I keep stealing them. But they are big and baggy. And they make me look like a boy!
I was very excited when Carhartt partnered with The Real Farmwives of America to give us a Carhartt of our own! And I got to choose one that is a Women’s design!
It took me days to decide which coat I wanted. Although I could have chosen boots, overalls, sweatshirts, or even shorts. I knew I wanted a coat. And one that looked like the ones I borrowed from my Dad and my Farmer.
I finally decided on this Carhartt Women’s Canyon Sandstone Jacket. It is a work coat and that is exactly what I did when testing it out.
It’s not often I pose for pictures. I’m not a big fan of being in front of the camera, but my Farmer took great pleasure in taking my picture for this blog. So the photos are compliments of him!
We are currently in the middle of soybean harvest. Normally my Farmer is the one driving the grain cart. He drives a big tractor with a wagon on the back. He drives alongside the combine while they are harvesting and the combine dumps their soybeans on the grain cart. Then the cart dumps the beans into a waiting semi, which taken them back to our farm, dumps them into the elevator and heads back to the field. Using a grain cart keeps everything moving so the combines don’t have to stop. I kicked him out of the seat for a few rounds so I could drive!

Carhartt did provide me with this product to review but the thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.
I LOVE this coat! It has the same feel of the ones our dad’s and grandpa’s wear but the fit is so much more flattering! Looking good out there in the field.
Ditto with Megan. I am always snitching Steve’s coat. 40 ft. head! ACK! Ours is 30, and that’s plenty big enough to turn around. Come on up, and I will let you drive, but you have to watch out for rocks!
Hello, I am your newest follower. I too am from Indiana and I am the daughter of a farmer. I should convince my mom to sign up for the coat give away. Thanks for sharing!
