02.09.2024Excellent quality but poor size and fit
The jacket is made of fantastic quality materials but is let down by its size and cut. The sleeves cannot be adjust to make the cuffs tight. The fitment is unflattering, sleeves too long, shoulders too wode and collar is oversized. Do not buy without trying on first. I will be returning mine.

To be honest I think the issue is with James rather than the jacket. You can't rubbish an item just because you don't like it. I've ordered mine and have many other Fjallraven jackets and items that fit just fine!
I wear medium in most clothes and ordered this jacket in medium - It was enormous on me so I returned. I replaced with a small and it is still big. I think the points made by James are valid, if the primary concern is the aesthetic, but this jacket, even though it does look good, is about function over form. The sleeves are long and the cuffs and shoulders are wide, but that allows unrestricted movement, even with layers beneath.
Wear the jacket, put on some gloves and then pose as though holding a hunting rifle and you'll find that the sleeves still cover your wrists and there's no restriction around the elbows and shoulders. The collar is high, but that'll keep your neck warm!
I am no hunter, but I still think it's a great jacket. I've never had a coat with this much practical pocket space, it's bordering on ridiculous!
Great product with multiple benefits.
