orly. Have you ever looked at real workwear? Nearly everything is cut with dropped shoulders. The classic hooded sweatshirt jacket, for example, is cut with dropped shoulders, a larger body, and shorter arms, to accomodate multiple layers underneath it, and for ease of motion. If you've ever done outdoor manual work in a cold environment, you'll find very quickly that what you really want is a minimum of 3 layers - the first a tight to the skin, thermal baselayer, then something bulky, then something like a parka that has some space between the body and jacket, so that there is a bit of trapped warm air. Of course, you want it to be easily and readily cinched at the waist, neck, and wrists, because freezing cold wind going up your back is not pleasant.
