I love this coat.

@endo:

I love this coat so much!  It's everything - warm and sturdy like a bivvy, and very cool.

Since IMHO it had some minor flaws I got it altered by my local tailor:

• a solid coatloop
• knitted storm cuffs
• wool-linings for the large side pockets

Just perfect now. 

Wow this is great! Would’ve loved to have this setup while I lived in Chicago.

I’m really glad I don’t live in a place where I’d need that.  But if I did, I’d for sure NEED that.

And very rightly so. I love this piece.

I am definitely not used to having an opening this large …  :-\

[endo]

yeah, in the beginning it feels like wearing a tent 
you get used to it

How do you folks go for sizing? Your usual true to size, or up/down a size? I'm generally a XXL in IH jackets but they can run a tad larger than I'd like.

I’m an XXL and I went all the way down to L for this one, it fits great. I may not be able to layer as much  which shouldn’t be an issue with how warm the jacket it is but it belled out too much at the bottom and middle for my taste otherwise.

Any fit pics?

@northeastwear you get your size S yet? How's it fit?

I did! It fits a treat, really cozy as well. Def a bit of a tradeoff in terms of how long you can tolerate the sleeves being in the interest of getting more space in the shoulders to make layering stuff underneath easier but a UHF feels great on underneath and that's probably the most important part

Omg the idea of wearing a UHF under that nukes me just thinking about it… but then again you do live in a properly cold place

It's true - I wore it yesterday but it wasnt quite freezing so I just went with the tan work shirt underneath:

(jeans are I+W barton slims, boots from NF bootmaker)

Spot on fit, looking good.

yeah, great look @northeastwear

What are these guys like in the rain? Is this water resistant?

[Giles]

Because the whipcord weave is so dense, they are water resistant, but definitely not waterproof….
