Decent coat for the sale price

Hunting, fishing, Search and rescue Sleeves are short need about 2 more inches Ordered XL should've ordered Large 6'4" 210 lbs and XL is a bit big in the mid section. again sleeves are a bit short.

Warm and good fit

Love my jacket. I'm 5'9 160 and got a medium. Fits perfect for me.

Really nice jacket!

This is my first puffy coat. It's super comfortable and holds me like a blanket. Perfect for moderate to below freezing.

Bike Commute Jacket

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

For my commute to work in the wee hours of the cold, dark mornings! I roll the zipper down on the climbs and back up when on downhills. I love it, and I would recommend it. The arm length is suitable for biking; it stays down by my wrist, and the collar is excellent and high, but I still wear a neck gaiter.

Size & quality control

Sizing is as unpredictable as other reviews have said, you only know if it fits when you put it on, the sizing chart is useless. There were a lot of threads when received. Without these issues, this could be a great jacket.

Don't pay attention to most of the reviews

Good value for hunting wear. I've read a number of reviews and people don't seem to realize that a little loose is a good thing for warmth. Air pockets = warm air trapped. 5'9", 195 pounds. XL is perfect to keep in the pack and pull out to throw over all layers. I see reviews where good size men are saying size medium or large are too small? Makes no sense in the real world. Order your normal size and if you want to throw over a bino harness order one size up.

Nice jacket!

Super pleased with this purchase!

Strange sizing, not much insulation

I purchased this to replace a 10+ year old down jacket from back in the day when puffy jackets were actually puffy and very, very warm. Based on photos, this jacket looked like it would do the trick but unfortunately it has about the same amount of down as typical down "sweater" type garments. A little more for sure, but definitely not a ton more. Size was also strange; I consistently fit very well in small OR shirts and shells, but this thing was huge; felt like a medium at least. Length was long, arms were long, and overall cut was just too loose. I'm sure the quality and everything else is great hence the good rating. But for me the deal was broken as soon as I experienced the small amount of down and the odd sizing.

Very nice coat, small arms.

I liked the material and the vintage look of the jacket a lot. I'm a big guy and the body was generously cut, but the arm holes were extremely tight for a 2xl jacket, the seam would have rubbed my arm pit raw. If your a heavy person with relatively small arms or narrow shoulders, its a nice jacket

Warm Jacket

Size down if you want a tight fit. If you will be layering stay true to size
