So I pulled the trigger on this jacket after looking at countless others from Doublju, Kennith Cole, Affliction, Perry Ellis etc etc etc. Although the price was very reasonable I was more interested on the positive reviews it got. Mind you these reviews were still positive even though the sizing was a little fubar'd!I ordered this jacket on a Friday morning and it arrived at my door by Tuesday afternoon. Very prompt shipping and although I would have preferred the item to have arrived in a box the packaging was sufficient. The jacket came wrapped in a nice thick plastic sheath, each button was protected by wax coated paper and on the inside along with the manufacturers standard tag was a package containing 2 extra large buttons.I ordered the Charcoal (nearly black-perfect for what I wanted!) in a size Large. I'm 6 foot and 224 pounds; I have a slight gut but broad shoulders and a pretty large chest. I typically wear large sized fitted shirts (not boxy or supper baggy) therefore when I read other reviews showing their height and weight being close to mine and ordering a MEDIUM (they weighed about 180-200)I took the chance on a large.The fit isn't all that bad, the shoulders and the arm length are perfect, the mid section could have been brought down just a little bit but this extra space does mean wearing a sweater underneath it will not look ridiculous! The length of the coat wasn't too bad either, I would have preferred the jacket to have been 1 inch shorter...but; this jacket is supposed to compliment many body types so I'm not complaining.Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the coat itself; it's warm without being too warm; the fabric feels pretty good considering its 20% synthetic and the weight is sufficient enough to know you're wearing it without feeling like you're carrying it on your shoulders. It's a comfortable coat, has nice lines and don't get me wrong the mid section does have a slight "fitted" look to it and is not boxy like many others.If you're looking for a nice coat and at a great price I'd recommend this one to anyone.I've uploaded some pictures of me wearing the jacket, I apologize for the lack of focus and lighting (used my camera phone).
