This is a great jacket and well worth the money fits good and looks good you can’t beat the priceCompletely surprised and satisfied with this purchase . Shipping only took two days to east Texas . Expected a flimsy light weight maybe cheap jacket . But this is a excellent five pound thick good quality wool material definitely a outdoor jacket . All the seams and stitching are perfect , the color is a deep black an not the shiny sheen as the picture showed . I was mostly concerned about the size as it didnt describe the dimensions , Im six feet tall , 20 inch wide shoulders , 36 inch sleeve length from middle of back , and yeah a little extra 38 inch waste with a 42 gut , a few extra pies an old age perhaps . Went with the large size despite others suggesting sizing one up because of China manufacturing guidelines . But the large fit perfectly , exactly 20 inch shoulder seam to seam an arm length 35 , best of all the center button at waist is 48 inches , allowing room for wearing sweaters without being to tight or baggy looking when buttoned . For me I couldnt have found a better fit , perhaps back in the day with a 32 inch waste it may have looked to roomy in the mid section . No longer a slim fit , only complaint it came folded in a bag an has many wrinkles , will probably take to a dry cleaners an have it steam ironed rather then chancing myself ruining it with a iron . Other then that , love it ! Nov-9 supplement to this review , bought a cheap 20 dollar garmet steamer from walmart ,worked perfect to remove wrinkles , recommend using distilled water only ,Good value & good fit. London Fog always provides quality items. The fit is made for some layering. I did take the coat to a tailor shop for a final fitting - i.e. sleeves & length. So if you want to have the room for layering, then i would recommend ordering a size up. If you want more of a form fit, order your regular size.The fabric is less dense and rigid than expected. Good price.I've been meaning to replace a woolen car coat I once had but had to donate to Good Will because I got too big for it. This coat fits perfectly and looks great on me ! Even with down coats being all the rage these days, every man's Winter wardrobe should include at least one woolen coat. You can't beat London Fog for a good quality coat at an affordable price.I LOVE the way this coat looks. It's dapper enough to wear with a vest and a tie, but casual enough to wear around the office every day. Most of it seems like the good quality typical of London Fog, except for two things:- The bottom buttonhole was not sewn; it was just a slit in the fabric. It would have been more of a hassle to ship it back and wait on it, so I just fixed it myself. Might want to inspect the buttonholes if you get this coat.- The included scarf was so cheap that I instantly removed it and threw it away (it's just attached to the back collar with a little plastic thing that you can clip off and remove).Excellent coat notwithstanding those two little drawbacks. Would still buy it again.I usually wear a large, but this lage was too big. The sleeves extended over my hands and had extra space in the chest. I had to drop down to a medium.My grandson saw this at Belks and they was sold out of his size. The lady looked all over in every state for this coat on the computer. Came home went online to Amazon it was there not only there and 100.00 dollars cheaper !!!! Perfect and the same coat.Good workmanship and quality. Fit is excellent and having hand pockets on top of the regular 2 side pockets was a nice surprise. Withstands cold wind better than other wool coats I have.
