Styling, fit & quality were excellent, but I expected it would be warmer. Wore 1st day running errands in mid-40º temps and I was very chilly whole trip.
ProsGreat Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected, always blocks the chill
The fleece on the inside makes the jacket soft and comfortable to wear but at the same time keeps your warmth inside. Jacket looks and feels great and just wearing it makes you want to get out there and use it to is full potential.
I purchased the XXL Tall. I am a big guy at 6ft 2in and 265lbs. I like the slim fit in the body as most XXL shirts and coats drape around me like a tent. The tall length to the coat is nice as I hate coats that ride up in the back when sitting or bending over.
The sleeves are a little tight, from the arm pits down to the wrist. This coat is not meant to go over a long-sleeve shirt (atleast for me). I have to readjust my short-sleeve shirts when I put the coat on, but its not too annoying as once the coat is on and adjusted it feels great.
Inside the end of the sleeves is a second layer of fabric to stop air from coming up the sleeve. That kept rolling over inside the sleeve making it feel even tighter in the arms. I took my wife's best fabric sheers and cut that extra fabric out of the sleeves and it makes a big difference for me.
I purchased the Bright Navy jacket. The color does bother me sometimes because in some lighting situations it almost looks like a dark periwinkle color with hues of purple. I would probably stick with the black color next time.
I would recommend this coat with the caveat of a tight fit in the sleeves.
