Gorgeous warm jacket but runs BIG. Order a smaller jacket
By

Hi, I just bought this jacket for my son. He is 5ft7 and 130 pounds. I ordered the medium thinking it would be a little bulky yet the intention was it would fit for this winter and next as he is growing so fast.... it is a gorgeous warm jacket but it runs HUGE! My 6ft 4, 200 lb husband tried the medium on and it fits him! So size down. I can't wait for the small to arrive and hope that's not too big! Trust the reviews this runs BIG but it is a really lovely quality acket. Hope this helps.
Nearly Perfect Parka

This parka delivers exactly what I hoped it would: It's heavy, but not cumbersome; it's waterproof, but still breathable; it keeps me warm and dry, but stylish. I purchased this parka to be my coldest weather coat, which is to say, I have another warm coat I wear when it's between 32-42 degrees, and I wanted this one to handle anything below freezing. And it does! It's not uncommon for Chicago to have 15-25 degree days with the wind blowing, and when those days come, this parka handles it wit...h ease.
As has been well-documented in other reviews, the zipper could be a bit bulkier. But I didn't find it dainty or cheap feeling. It's one step above the zipper you will find on TNF's down jackets. It's a bit of a struggle to get the zipper on with gloves on, but that hasn't bothered me. In future iterations of this parka TNF would be wise to bulk up the zipper to reflect the intended use of this parka.
Still 10/10 recommend.
