I commute to work and have to spend some time waiting outside for connections. It has been a quest for the last several years to find a coat that can keep me warm in the coldest winter months and can go right to a conference room without looking like I just came from an expedition. This coat is what I have been looking for. It has kept me warm during the last several sub-zero mornings. It might not be the most fashion forward jacket, but I like the look of it and I don't feel embarrassed to walk into meetings with coworkers.Others have commented about the sleeve length, and they are are long. They go past my knuckles. I happen to like this though as it helps keep my hands warm.My only major con is the fit. I'm not a big guy, but maybe big enough at 6' 225. The jacket fits me a little tight in the chest and waist, shoulders are fine and length is perfect. I maybe could have gone up a size, but I was nervous about the sleeve length others have mentioned.All in all, I'm very happy with it and would definitely recommend it.
