The Maine Guide Wool Parka is a well-made, durable winter coat that provides excellent insulation and warmth, even in very cold temperatures. Customers praised the coat's high quality and functionality, noting it is suitable for various outdoor activities. However, some reviewers mentioned the coat tends to run large and the sleeves are disproportionately long. A few minor issues were also noted, such as the lack of a two-way zipper and decorative pockets being sewn shut.
This jacket is of the highest quality and has quickly become my go to.

Wonderful Coat
What a wonderful, heavy, warm winter coat. Made a lengthy, bitterly cold spell extremely comfortable. Best purchase I made in several years.

I’ve had this coat for 3 years now and I absolutely love it. It’s warm and it has so many pockets. The only feature that could make this coat better would be a hood.

Heavy and thick. You don't need layers with this coat. Sizing seems to run a little towards the large side. And yes, the pockets come sewn shut just like on a new suit. Anyone dow
