What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
I have only had this for a few weeks and TBH, the weather has been pretty warm. However, I totally love this jacket and am even looking forward to some cooler weather to test it out.
I am very concerned about the havoc that we are wreaking on the environment, and really want to support companies which are thinking carefully about their impact. I have also been thinking about wool - which is a superb material for humans to use to keep warm. It's really difficult to find garments which are not based on plastic/synthetic fibres in some way. Even companies calling themselves 'sustainable' still sell oil-based products, the fibres of which find their way into the sea, into fish, animals and into our bloodstream. So, after hours of looking, it was a pleasure to find Mufflon. Mufflon have been thinking about this stuff for a long time and have excellent credentials for sustainability - not just fake 'we are recycling the plastic stuff that pollutes the seas'. Mufflon also have thought about how their clothes feel, last and protect and not least - look great.
So, this is warm, really warm. It's quite heavy if you compare it to unsustainable alternatives, but in a reassuring way. I haven't tried it in the rain, but I think it would take a while for me to get wet. It's also quite soft - not like loden clothing. The cut is fantastic and it really fits me well - follow the fitting guide and you will be fine. Basically, I want more Mufflon in my life!

W300 fabric is thicker than Filson 24 oz Mackinaw wool cruiser jacket and costs twice less.
I wear the jacket every day, and it proves to be incredibly reliable. I would be delighted to purchase pants made from the same material!
However, there is one drawback - when I roll up the sleeves, the back seam tends to catch on the open zipper, leading to thread damage.

The material is the best thing about this jacket. It's also durable, breathable and looks pretty great. Although it's heavy, it's fully woollen, so it's unavoidable. It still makes it less suitable for intense activity and hiking.
Biggest problem with this jacket is its cut. It's a slim fit which would be fine for a midlayer jacket, but as this is so heavyweight and stiff, it's an outerlayer piece. The slim cut makes it difficult to layer underneath.
The price is also hefty for what you get.
