Be careful with the sizing. I wear a large or medium in every other garment, but the large I received here was way too small. I couldn't even fold my arms across the chest. Seconding the other review here: unless you're extremely lanky, absolutely get a larger size than you normally aim for.

Besides that not-so-minor complaint I was quite satisfied. The shell runs long (to lower thigh on me), something I tend to like, and the feel and seams are both good quality. Something to be aware of, however, is that the internal liner does not have its own fasteners; its snaps cannot connect side to side, meaning that if worn without the shell the liner cannot hold itself closed.

Needed an everyday coat to go over suits/blazers for my commute. The price of this coat can be a bit jarring at first glance but you have to realize it as a 3 season coat (Primaloft liner is removable) so really the price reflects your winter parka and your fall/spring trench. In addition the quality of material and craftsmanship are outstanding! I am 5'10, 180, 40 chest, 33 waist, 16.5 neck and the large fits me everywhere perfect with the exception of the sleeve length being a bit long. I remedied this by tailoring the ~0.5 inch of sleeve that isn't reached by the liner and now it's perfect. The black color is timeless and I see no reason I'll purchase another overcoat for work within the next 5 years and realistically much longer. It looks just as good with a suit on my way to work as it does jeans and a sweater on my way to dinner or sweats on my way to the gym. The only reason to be skeptical of this coat is the price and I get that. So I bought it knowing full well if I didn't love it I would be able to return it with Backcountrys easy return policy. In addition, with purchases this large a Backcountry rep contacts you directly over the phone so you have a real person to work with in case you need to return/exchange.

I am a L in North Face, Patagonia - every coat I've ever had as an adult. The L in this was way too tight in the shoulders and arms - no way I could have worn it with layers underneath. I'm turning it for a XL and will report back on sizing.
