There is WAY too much confusion about sizes for this coat. I ordered Mid-October, 2020, so this is after the size update.As listed, I’m 6’5”, 270 pound weightlifter. I wear a 50 XL suit size, and I have a 40” waist. The 2X insulated coat is tight across the chest and arms, and it was snug around the waist, when I was just wearing a polo shirt. There is no way you could wear this with a thin sweater, much less a shirt and sports coat, sweater, hoodie, whatever. I was really happy with the overall cut, though, because most French coats and car coats are huge through the midsection, and I can usually grab at least 8-10 inches of extra fabric, and I still have room.Also, this is not an extremely long coat. It hit me a few inches below the hip. It should fit over any suit or sports coat, but if you wear something a bit longer, you might have an issue.My dad owned a pair of clothing stores, when I was a kid, and the coat is generally well made. The flap on the inside pocket is a little floppy, but the hidden button holes, shoulders, and pockets are all well-made and show nice attention to detail, unlike some of the old reviews suggest. The shoulder stitching design is noticeable, but doesn’t scream for attention. I’d prefer a straight seam, but it looks okay.Color: it’s not khaki, taupe, or anything close. It’s chocolate brown. It looks good, but it’s not the color I was looking for.
