This seems a well constructed and hard wearing coat. I've only used it on two sub freezing days, but with my flannel shirt and wind stopper vest it was comfortable. I'm 5'8", 165 lbs, no gut, and my Medium coat fits snugly. I'd prefer a slightly looser fit, but it's ok- still enough room for a vest or sweater as I need one. I look forward to many years of good use.Expecting the usual 2 weeks delay notice from Amazon, I was very pleasantly surprised when it shipped within just a couple of days --even faster than Amazon originally predicted. It arrives in a typical Amazon box, taped shut but is inside a protective clear plastic bag inside so even if the box got snow or rain on it, wouldn't have made any difference.Been wanting a good, heavy duty rugged coat for the past couple of years but prices kept me from springing for one and trying to make do with my old 4X one, which finally this year couldn't match my needs anymore...so I came hoping Amazon could help!This coat is quilted with a cross pattern stitching over satin inside and well stitched throughout. Has two big flap upper pockets on the outside which seal with velcro, and two zippered ones inside, as well as two slit pockets lower down on the front that don't seal for your hands inside of gloves so you don't have to fumble with getting them open to get your hands inside. The front zipper is good solid brass and not flimsy like the ones on jackets from the one step below "emperor" company that tries to sell you really cheap coats at ridiculously high prices and which fall apart after just one or two years. THIS Coat from Berne is made in Bangladesh and is made of heavy canvas on the outside, very durable, fits with some "extra" in the shoulders, the arms are also quilted inside and long and comfortable when you bend your arms. Comes down below my waist and I'm 6' 4" tall and exceptionally heavy also, as we BIG Men are. I swear I do NOT work for Amazon or the maker or related advertiser etc for this coat - it is just one GREAT Rugged coat and for the money it's outstanding. I paid under $65.00 for mine and you can't touch that price for a decent warm and well built coat anywhere for men of our size these days! I'd give it 6 stars if I could !!Just a good jacket. Feels durable and it has a solid feeling zipper. I don't know when exactly coat makers decided to skimp on zippers but it's not as easy to find good ones as it should be. I'm 6'1", 275 and got a 2XL size. Fits great with just enough room for a hoodie if I need one. Which hasn't been necessary yet as this jacket has been plenty warm in temps down to 30 or so. Very pleased with this so far.Durable materials impressive workmanship. Only drawback is that my cell phone is too big for any of the pockets other than the hand pockets.I really like this jacket. It fits well, it’s comfortable, and it allows for easy movement. In short, it’s a good work jacket that should last a long time.Baught this for my dad. He loves it. Fits perfectly and is really warm.good quality for priceI normally wear large or extra large, and I ordered a large. The item listed free returns, what could go wrong? When it arrived it was labeled as a large but it was really big on me. Like a nine year old in his dad's coat too big. So I contacted them to exchange it for a medium and was told to just return it and order the medium in a separate transaction. Cool, I'm not in a hurry, so I sent out the return. That brings me to the low rating, I paid $64.90 for the jacket and Ohio adds taxes on top of that. My return however was only $57.28. Not going to argue with anyone about it, but I'm not placing the order for a medium. Appeared to be a well made coat and really wanted it to work out, but it didn't.Over all the coat fit is well designed.Found the length and movement range good.I’m 6ft 4. Should be good for fall and winter wear.Hood is sold separately. Where I purchased. Normally use a watch capEven room for hoodie or sweater.
