“WARNING: Men's Coat Designed for Women”

“This coat is well made, but I don't get the design. First, the zipper is on the left side as if the coat was designed for women. (Why wasn't this mentioned in the product description? Is this a British/Barbour standard?) Second, the coat, when zipped, is way too tight in the hips. In fact, it's so tight that it makes it difficult to engage the zipper without pulling it up around waist height. (There is no center back vent -- though that's not expected in this type of coat.) Third, the snapped/flapped pockets are the only two exterior pockets -- no side hand-warmer pockets. Though the product description mentions the flap pockets, the first thing you want to do with this kind of coat is put your hands in the (non-existent) side pockets. I'm returning this to STP because of the above factors.”
