Favorite Jacket

Rating:*****

I got one of these on sale towards the end of last season, sight unseen. I like outerwear to be baggy, although it's a bit bigger than I expected. All the features you need and very good quality. Close enough, so I kept it. I've never been cold in it, and it is now my favorite of all 4 jackets I currently wear.

Nice Jacket-Runs Big

Rating:****

Good design, quality materials, lots of features for the price. I bought a large and it was too big so keep that in mind when ordering 686 products. They are definitely cut baggy compared to other brands...
