It's a substantial winter coat in the nautical style - which means the hood is big, it has toggle closures, it's navy, and it's warm. The craftsmanship is better than expected given the price point. Fit is good, but I'll say again - the hood is surprisingly large (I think the style was meant to fit over a naval cap). It's removable, though, so I just removed it. Pleased with the purchase. Not an everyday item, but fun to mix it up in the winter outerwear from time to time. A splash of functional fashion I can pull off.Purchased this coat for my grad student son. He loves it. Bought a XL long as per other customer reviews. Looks really great . My son is 6' 1" and athletic build. BGSD was a pleasure to work with. Would buy from them again.I purchased this jacket for my fiancé and he is a medium sized gentleman. His shirt size is medium and his waist is 32/33 inches. He is 6'2" and weighs somewhere around 165 lbs. He is lean and narrow. That being said, this coat fits him well & is pretty warm, though the sleeves are not as long or as giving as I would think they should be. When he lifts his arms up, the entire coat lifts all the way and I can almost see his stomach. When he puts his arms straight out, the sleeves do not reach his wrists. This is definitely a narrow fitting coat, so if you are a medium with broad shoulders, you might consider going up one size. He can wear a thick sweater under this jacket, and he said he still felt comfortable in the jacket. Also, the hood is relatively small on this jacket. If you like a spacious hood, you probably won't like the hood on this jacket unless you have an uncharacteristically small human head. My biggest concern with this jacket is that if he gains even a few pounds in his arms, chest or torso, I'm afraid this coat will be too tight. It's probably better to buy this jacket in one size up.I spent months debating whether or not to buy this coat. Time horribly wasted, the coat is made with nothing but quality. the fit was as described by the measurements so as long as you measure your self correctly youll be fine. ive been out in sub 20F degree weather this winter and hardly noticed the cold at all was even a little hot at times so it excels at what it was made more. Lastly the style, MUUUUUUUCH better than the standard pea coats, it will get you complements if all you've been wearing is normal pea coats that dont stand out. I got it on sale but id happly buy another in a different color at pull price.Just bought this two weeks ago and it's an excellent coat. I'm 6'2, 245 lbs, and wear a 48 inch suit jacket and 38 inch suit pants & have fairly long arms to give you perspective. I love lifting weights hence the 10 inch drop. I bought the XL and it fits like a glove. It is tighter to the body & arms giving a very tailored look. The arm length is perfect as well. Again I'm a bit bigger/longer in the arms (I wear a 36/37 inch dress shirt in the arms) are snug so you won't be able to wear a suit jacket underneath this for example. (Not that you would as the looks would clash.)Next the coat is nice and heavy so even in cold weather, just a sweater underneath it is fine.Quality & detail is superb with the toggles, buttons, zippers and lining. Very happy with this coat so have no concerns buying it.Below is a picture of me wearing it.Bought this navy duffel coat for my son's birthday. It's beautiful, stylish and warm. The only problem is that it came with black toggles instead of the brown ones as pictured. They look nice enough, but I wanted the brown ones.This coat is marvelous. It's exactly what I hoped it would be. It's super warm. I've been using it for a few days now, as it's only just turned cold enough to wear it in Chicago. When it's 45F/7C it's actually very warm, and you may sweat just a little in it. Though when it gets down to 32F/0C and below it is perfectly warm. I had a sweater on underneath the coat this weekend while it was 15F/-10C outside, and the wind didn't cut through.The size was perfect. I wear large shirts and sweaters. I bought a large size for this coat, and it fit perfectly. The quality of this thing is tremendous so far. I still haven't had a chance to really put it through the rigorous wear and tear through everyday use during the winter, but so far. I'm pretty happy with it.Husband was delighted to receive this for his bday. It turned out to be a gift for me as well as he looks so sharp in it! Some of the reviews had me anxious about the fit but using the chart measurements worked out well. 6' + 210 lbs = XL. Perfect fit. Slenderizing without being tight. Unrestricted movement. Loden green is a versatile color: sober enough for work and cool enough for casual wear. Highly recommend.I dont know if i have a wide back or long arms but i found the sleeves too short on this coat just reaching my wrist, definately will not be buying a coat online again. overall quality of the coat was good though.The coat was a perfect fit, delivered early and of excellent quality, I could not be happier
