The other reviews are overall positive and focus around the good workmanship and the jacket’s performance in different sports and occasions. Another huge plus in the reviewers’ eyes are the numerous oversized pockets. They are practical and quite helpful, according to them.

Those that criticize it, would recommend to look for a bigger size as the bottom hem is a bit unyielding and might fit too tight.

As for looks, what you see is what you get. A beautiful and classy jacket without overbearing logos or crazy patterns.
