I had a barn coat (from a competitor) years ago and wore it until the threads wore out. Liked it but always wanted a Bean Field Coat. Well, I finally got one and am really sorry I waited.
Perfect weight, fit is excellent, sizing is accurate and the under arm gussets make it so much more functional - in all, it is "just right." Nice heavy weight cotton canvas with a wool and nylon liner. Perfect for fall and winter here in the mountains of North Carolina, where we actually receive snow and ice, all winter!
I really can't come up with a reason not to buy this coat. It is a home run.
This coat is light yet warm. It is well made and extremely comfortable. I can wear a sport jacket underneath and still feel comfortable. The sleeves are a little long (medium size), but other than that I am very happy with it. In fact, I offered to buy one for my son (28 years old) to wear in Boston-warm enough until it gets really cold.
