Thanksgiving backyard game
Every Thanksgiving we play a pickup football game in the backyard before dinner. Wore this and ended up playing in it because I didn't want to take it off. Got tackled once in the mud and it brushed right off once dry. Warm and roomy enough to move.
Cuffs fit over my watch
The button flaps on the sleeves let me loosen the cuff enough to fit over my watch, then snug it up when it's windy. Small thing, but I check the time a lot. Coat's warm and the toggles feel solid and well stitched.
Barber chair talk
I cut hair for a living and three clients asked about this coat hanging on my hook in one week. Easy conversation starter. Warm on the walk to the shop in the mornings too.
XXXL that fits
I'm a big guy, six three and heavy through the middle. The XXXL fits with room for a sweater and still doesn't look like a tent. Toggles close without straining. Hard to find coats that fit and look this good at my size.
Playoff tailgate coat
Tailgated for a playoff game in single digit weather and this coat got me through five hours in the parking lot and three more in the stands. Hood up the whole second half. It's lining is soft and kept the cold off. Mustard on the cuff wiped off fine. My buddy borrowed it for the walk to the car and almost didn't give it back.
Bit short over blazer
I mostly wear it over a blazer for work and the coat is only a little longer than the jacket, so the hem peeks out sometimes. Over sweaters it's perfect. Good quality and a warm hood, just not ideal over a suit.
Dad's new farm coat
My dad still does chores on the farm every morning at seventy one. Bought him this because his old barn coat was falling apart. He says the hood keeps the wind off his neck and the toggles are easy with cold hands. He even wore it to church on Sunday.
Chess in the cold
I play chess outside with a group of old guys every weekend, rain or shine. If your sitting still for two hours in the cold you need a real coat. This one does the job. The hood blocks the wind and my hands stay warm in the pockets between moves.
Walks with my dad
My father lives in an assisted living home and we take walks around the garden when the weather allows. He's slow, so we're out there a while. This coat keeps me warm the whole time and the hood is perfect on windy days. Dad likes to tell everyone his son dresses like a gentleman. Little moments like that matter a lot right now.
Baby's first snow
Our daughter saw her first snow this year and I carried her out on the porch tucked inside the front of this coat with just her face poking out. She stayed warm, I stayed warm, and my wife got a photo I'll keep forever. The toggles leave enough room to fit a baby in there, which I did not plan on testing. Great coat.
Cheap one fell apart
Last year I bought a cheap duffle coat from a fast fashion store and the toggles fell off within a month and the hood seam ripped. This one is a completely different animal. The toggles are sewn on tight, the fabric is thick, and the stitching is clean. Paid more, but I can already tell it'll last years. Lesson learned on buying cheap.
Layover essential
I'm a pilot and spend a lot of layovers in cold places walking between the hotel and somewhere to eat. Needed something warmer than my uniform jacket that still looks put together. This works. It folds over my roller bag handle and comes out barely wrinkled, and the hood is great on windy ramps. Two other pilots on my crew asked about it this month.
Teenager actually wears it
Bought this for my sixteen year old son because he refuses to wear anything but hoodies. He wore it to school the next day and his friends liked it, so now it's his favorite. Fit him well in a small. I'm ordering a seperate one for his older brother.
Waiting at arrivals
Stood outside arrivals for forty minutes waiting on my parents' delayed flight. Freezing wind and I was fine with the hood up. They both asked where I got it before even saying hello.
Snow blower duty
Ran the snow blower for an hour after the first storm wearing this and stayed toasty. Snow brushed right off the shoulders afterward. Doing double duty as my work coat now.
Toggles stiff at first
The rope loops were a bit stiff when it arrived and getting the toggles through took some effort the first week. They've loosened up now and work fine. Coat's warm and fits right in a large. Just give it a few days to break in.
Heavy when soaked
Got caught in a long downpour walking home and the wool soaked through on the shoulders. It got pretty heavy and took most of the next day to dry fully on a hanger. No damage, no shrinking, looked fine after. Just know it's a wool coat, not a raincoat. Otherwise warm, comfortable, and fits me right. Four stars because I wish it shed water a bit better.
Snowman approved
Spent the whole afternoon building a snowman with my daughter in the front yard. Knees in the snow, rolling the big ball, all of it. Coat stayed dry inside and I was warm the whole time. She says I look like a bear with the hood up.
Curling league nights
Joined a curling league this winter and the rink is basically a refrigerator. Between ends you're standing around a lot. Wore this over a sweater and stayed comfortable through the whole game. Teammates gave me grief for showing up in a fancy coat, then two of them ordered one. The hood comes in handy in the parking lot after, too.
Hood falls back
Hood is roomy but when I walk fast into the wind it slides back off my head. I just hold it at the front now. Otherwise warm and well made, no complaints there.
