I received this jacket as a Christmas gift but had to return it because the sleeves were too long. Initially I thought I received a Tall size because the sleeves were 2 inches longer than normal. I don't keep clothes that don't fit and returned this jacket. Other than the sleeves, I thought the fit was good. I also liked the material.
Im 6' 190lb and ordered the XL. I wear XL tshirts, polos, etc. I found this jacket to fit perfectly. It is a tailored type of cut, so I can understand some of the reviews saying its snug in the shoulders but it was fine for me. I wear a 44 Regular suit/jacket if that helps. The sleeves might be 1/2 inch too long but no biggie. The L size would defenitely be too small I believe.
This jacket is very warm, but not bulky at all. It cuts the wind incredibly due to its thick material. In the short time Ive owned it I've been in 60 degree weather and windy 30's and it was great. Versatile jacket here. Very pleased with this purchase, and considering buying another color as well.
This is a nice jacket that appears to be well-built, warm, reasonably water-repellent, etc. My only reservation is with the fit. If you're on the tall and skinny side like me (6'2"; 160lbs), I would not give much credence to the description "closer fit." When they say "slightly fitted," the emphasis is on the "slightly." Mine is still loose and baggy in the waist and chest. The sleeves, on the other hand, fit me perfectly.
I purchased this jacket last spring for my son. He attends a prep school in Maine and has a very cold walk from class to class. He wore it up until Christmas break, when it appears to have walked away with one of the other students going home for Christmas vacation. I just ordered another one, which he will wear when we break out of these below zero temperatures. It repels rain and snow, yet is light enough to be comfortable when going to various classes. I was so happy to see them on sale. He likes the black, which sold out very shortly after I made my purchase. The other colors look very nice also. He is 6'4" and weighs 195 pounds. The large tall fits beautifully.
