Nice, cheap carwash coat for Y'all.

I just picked up a 'Justin' brand work jacket from Ocean State Joblot. $30!

It's brown 'duck' material, features 3M thinsulate and is apparently Teflon coated.

It's a decent jacket for the carwash. Let's face it, it'll be greasy and torn by the Winter's end and the low price makes me feel fine about beating it up.

I keep a Carhartt suit like that which I wear on the coldest days, was only about $70 and I'll sweat inside it in 20° weather if I'm wearing long johns too.

I use a carhart coat that I purchased for approx. $65. Best investment I ever made for car wash cold weather clothing. I can throw it in the washing machine when it gets dirty, keeps me very warm - a truly rugged pc of clothing.

I liked my past Carhartts, too. I just thought this low-buck version was perfect for use and abuse at the wash. With that and my $8 Faded Glory jeans from Walmart I'm 100% 'ghetto'. And I mean that in the best possible way!

What! Faded Glory is Ghetto! I found a Faded Glory jacket at the wash and I have been wearing it all winter. So my jacket was the cheapest!

Cheapo coat update; Winter in New England is tough in the carwash business! Sure, you can wash some cars when weather cooperates, but things like to break in cold weather. My many projects lately have left my new coat looking beat already. I got some 'never seize' on it, and if you've ever done that, you know it's near impossible to remove.
