I saw some comments on this coat not being warm enough, or in need of a liner. I disagree. It is an excellent coat that is quite comfortable. If extra warmth is needed I would suggest the 6 button vest underneath. I love all my Kromer products. Keep up the great work SK
I gave as a gift. The recipient loves it. Need one for myself. I love Stormy Kromer products. Always American Made
A very high quality coat!
Very comfortable, warm, nice pockets well constructed, and good fit.
I'm 5'9, about 170 pounds, and I have a 40" chest. This makes buying shirts and jackets a constant hassle, because depending on the cut of the garment, I'm never sure if a medium will fit me, or if it'll be snug. Seeing that the person modeling this coat is supposedly 5'10 and 190lbs, wearing a medium, I felt confident going with a medium. The medium fit well, but it did not fit in a practical way. If I were only to wear the jacket standing at all times, without any layers underneath, it would have been great. It looked great. However, bending over to tie my boots, or reaching my arms out, or sitting down -- these maneuvers were all restricted, especially if it was buttoned up. I went up to a large and it does have a baggier look to it since I'm at the bottom of the size range, but I'm much happier with it. I almost always have a heavy flannel or henley under it, and sometimes have an additional shacket as a mid-layer, and it accommodates that additional bulk very well. I never could have layered in the medium.
The size and comfort is only surpassed by its style. Great Value
The jacket is warm, moderately windproof and breathable due to thick and tightly woven material. I like that the jacket is unlined so that it breaths when you are active. It is comfortable walking/hiking in temps in the 20's over a long sleeved base layer and wool shirt. It is generously cut so you could add another layer for colder temps. I have found unlined nylon and softshell jackets are very windproof but don't breath well and so you end up taking them off after a period of activity and then get cold. I also like that it insulates well when damp. The collar covers your neck well when up. If you get too warm you can tie it around your waist. The coat is tough enough for hiking in the woods but looks nice enough to wear for sharp casual.
I really liked this coat, it was well made and warm. Unfortunately it only comes in a size Medium and I wear a size small. The size chart on the website was incorrect and the size medium had a much larger chest then it specified when I actually got the jacket. I would have given 5 stars but the sizing was an issue. Still a great Wool jacket made in America
I recently bought 2 mackinaws from SK. The first one was delivered within a few days, regretfully the USPS still hasn’t delivered the second coat after two weeks. The great folks at SK have sent me another coat with of course the understanding that if the lost one shows up then I will send it back to SK. What a wonderful company, old time customer service that is almost non existent with other American companies. I was a regional VP for a large US company that employed me for 41 years before I retired. I thought we had excellent customer service but no where near as personal and responsive as SK. Just like the customer service Dept slogan at SK reads “ the only thing our reps can’t do for you over the phone is serve you coffee and Pie! For many years I bought from Filson on almost all outdoor clothing needs. After finding SK I found superior quality and a better fit from SK. Additionally the SK pricing is reasonable and a good value. Thanks SK. I will be back for more! ~~ Thank you so much for your kind words about our customer service team - they are pretty great! And welcome to the Stormy Kromer family! ~~
