This coat exceeded all of my expectations. The highest quality of materials and stitching. I ordered the olive and it looks dapper enough to wear with a tie, yet rugged enough to survive the wilderness. Wool is very easy to clean, it breaths well while keeping you warm and dry. I wear mine with short sleeves and have not found it to be itchy. The SK Mackinaw is a great value for it’s versatility and will last for many generations.
Lets first talk about sizing. I am 6'1 and weigh 205lb with a 36" waste and i take a 44 suit coat. I got the large as directed by the size guid. These jackets are cut generously. I would have liked to have tried on a M but i am going to make due with the large. With a sweater under it, the fit is ok but i do tend to like a less baggy fit. i may have it taken in 1" or so. Now onto the quality. The quality is off the charts. The wool has a very heavy dense feal and the finish is very smooth. Stitching is also very good. I love the collar as it stays up when you want it and its a bit oversized. the only other gripe is the upper pockets. I wish those were lower. I have a few Stormy Kromer button vests and the thing i love most about them are how comfortable it is to keep your hands in the pockets. Wish this jacket was the same. Those upper pockets are not ergonomic at all and the slash pockets behind the button pockets are shallow and not comfortable. THis is a great jacket. Make sure you get the sizing right and make sure your ok with the pocket situation. ' Note Stormy Kromer - a slight redesign could make this a much better jacket. Work on the pockets. Heck if you just lower the entry to them and let them drop into and behind the button pockets it would be a game changer.
I have wanted this coat for several years. I found a really good price online and ordered it. I wear 2xl gloves and whenever I try to use the pockets my hands fall short of going in all the way. So they need to increase the depth of the pockets and the forearms are cut a little too snug, like i feel like I have popeye forearms, NOT... Otherwise it is a fine looking coat and the wool is so soft.
This coat is amazing and worth every penny. I love the oversized collar, it helps with the wind. It’s very warm and looks sharp. The only thing it needs is inside pockets I would highly recommend.
I found my Stormy Mack Coat / North Star pattern at the Carhartt store in Chesaning,Michigan. Priced at $300. A steal for such a quality Coat. All 4 colors were available, but that North Star pattern looks great with any color pant. The build quality is top notch and the stiching is absolute quality. No need to layer with this coat, the wool keeps the torso toasty. Super stylish, the Mackinaw Coat screams Burberry WHO? I recommend this coat, especially in North Star. Treat yourself to looking good!
I’ve been looking for this coat !! Brings back memories of when I was a kid. Wish I could buy it can’t for now.
5’11 200lb ordered med and fits good. For the price you can’t beat it, stays warm to about 20deg. Could improve upon 3 things: 1:the sleeves could be lined with something slippery to allow movement, 2: sleeve opening could be a little bigger (I have big wrists) 3: a gusset on the back to allow for greater arm movement. I’ll probably buy a double Mackinaw P.S the top hand pockets are useless
Owned the original Mackinaw coat in Red/Black plaid, size 50. I loved it. It fit perfectly -- it was roomy, you could layer beneath it, without being bulky or with too much material. Purchased the new version and charcoal gray, size XXL. Consulted with live chat about the sizing since they switched from traditional numbered sizing (50 or 52) to XL and XXL. When I received the coat I could not have been more disappointed. It fits and wears completely different than the original coat, which was perfect. It's bulky, has too much material, it's too long in the sleeves, and generally fits very poorly. I will not buy another Mackinac coat form Stormy Kromer unless they bring the original sizing back.
I didn’t know what to expect but after receiving mine in the mail it earns a woah this is very high quality. I’m not sure where the wool is weaved for this coat but it’s perfection. It’s a dense, and smooth fabric that makes me think it’s luxury brand material. Sewing looks great, shoulder fit perfectly. Pockets were a concern of mine after reading reviews but they are all great so don’t listen to anyone whine about them. The upper hand pockets are similar to WW2 USN peacoats, and the lower ones are nice too. Being a bit over 6 ft tall the long is perfect. Again, wasn’t expecting the coat to be this nice but it is. 5 stars!
