What customers say:
The Waxed Down Sweater/Jacket is a high-quality, warm, and stylish outerwear piece. Customers praised its comfort, versatility, and practical features like the multiple pockets. The waxed cotton exterior provides good wind and water resistance without feeling stiff or bulky. However, some found the fit to be either too snug or too roomy, especially in the shoulders and sleeves. A few also felt it was not as warm as expected in very cold weather, and a couple commented on the zipper design. Overall, the majority of reviewers were very satisfied with the jacket's great value, classic look, and ability to keep them warm in cold conditions.

I cannot rave enough about this coat. I’m in California and it’s PERFECT for the temps with a tee or long sleeve. I prefer something durable to a hoody or cotton jacket for the bar

Surprised this is rated "Warmest" as I was chilly wearing it on a 32-degree day with a cashmere sweater underneath. Exchanged the M for an L so I could wear a fleece jacket with it

I was so excited to get this jacket. It fits pretty well. The problem is it attracts lint, dog hair etc. It’s like a magnet. It looks horrible all over the jacket.
