Pretty good, black vs blue different material though

By Ranked #745 - Men's Jackets December 30, 2011

If you wear a large, get a medium trust me. I'm 6' and 190#'s. The large was LOL and the XL looked like 5XL on me, serious.

Also, the blue (out of stock now) and the gray have two different fabrics! The gray (listed as black) has more of a durable canvas look while the blue has more of a herringbone fabric pattern that is much more pliable and soft.

I really liked the blue color so I went with the medium blue and it fits well. Long on the sleeves which I like. Standing straight the sleeves go down to the knuckles.

Two complaints/worry - the velcro seems to be stitched on pretty skimpy. Only one row of stitching to hold the velcro to the coat. Eventually I'll have to sew those back on but these are sewed on before the liner is sewed on, so, yea no sure what will happen here.

Also, the insulation - zero zip nada what so ever. Very much a shell but would have liked to see a TINY bit of insulation to warrant the price of this coat.

All in all, I like the coat, but really thought it was odd that the two colors had two different fabrics. The grey/black looks more durable and will probably last longer, but I really liked the blue.

Thanks Dogfunk for allowing me to try on 3 different coats before finding the one I like!
