Question 1

Is this jacket vegan?

Accepted Answer

This is what happens when you leave you're bored vegan husbands to use the computer to shop.

P.S 
This is hilarious!

Question 2

I live in new England and have some pretty cold  winters. Does this coat keep someone warm in 0 degree weather

Accepted Answer

I got one for my son as he's going to Korea to visit his family this winter.  it is made well and he describes it as being overly hot to wear in 50 degree(Fahrenheit) weather.the main issue is with the fitting, allow me to explain.  the "cut" of the parka is exact and precise.  so a size 2XLT is literally that size.  there is no excess room for layering.  if you're a men's small/medium/large/xl and you are just going to wear normal clothing under it, stick to your size.  but if you are planning to wear a sweater, vest or "hoodie" under it as layers, then go one up in size.  hope this helps.

Question 3

Most people here say to get one size larger, i typically wear large with shirts/jackets, should i get the medium for this?

Accepted Answer

Check the size chart. Mine fit exactly as specified, the real trick is getting the right arm measurements for you. I found when ordering mine that for a comfortable fit in T-shirts so they are long enough I get a 2XL just for the length since I am 6'6" but for this jacket I ordered a 1X and it was fine. Just measure yourself and look at the chart you should be fine. If you are between sizes though or close between sizes you might want to go bigger rather than smaller in case you decide to layer under it. It might just show that Caterpillar doesn't know exactly how to measure its jacket size but this isn't meant to be a slimline fit jacket by any means. It is a little bigger with a little more room. So that might be why 1X worked for me in this jacket but 2X works for me in most shirts.

Question 4

Do you look like an elevator repair man or a parks dept. employee in this?

Accepted Answer

More like construction...hence the words "CAT" stitched to the jacket. And its heavy duty look adds to that concept. However who cares, your warm. Elevator repair men work indoors in warmth, they do not wear jackets like this, unless their smart. I have only seen them in t shirts. This jacket has served me in temperatures as low as 0°F. I was stuck in a snowstorm with no gas and this jacket helped keep my core temperature at bay, sure my feet were damn near frozen, but my torso was toasty.
