Golden Bear Sportswear The James Car Coat - Lux Lambskin, Thinsulate® (For Men)

This coat is best for warm climates, however I live in the Midwest. I sent it back for that reason.

First of all, it says right there in the item desription that it is only insulated with 40 grams of Thinsulate and that it is intended for Fall. So don't expect a heavy overcoat for the heavy storms. What is this good for? Layering.You can layer your clothing accordingly for warmth and this coat will make an excellent light weight barrier against the wind. Due to it's light weight, this is a year-round coat that you can also wear on breezy Summer nights. I like the fact that it's not heavy & bulky, and that you don't need to shed it once indoors. The Golden Bear is a company that has been in business here in San Francisco for almost 100 years. In that short amount of time, they have clothed several generations of my family. These garments are made to last. My first piece from them came as a "hand me down". I still have it. I now have garments that are over 20 years old, that I can't fit anymore, and those are in excellent condition for me to hand down to the next generation. My police issued leather motorcycle jacket was produced by Golden Bear. If you are in the market for a Vanson, Taylor Leather, or Schott Perfecto, check out the motorcycle jacket from Golden Bear. These are the official issue uniform jackets for motorcycle officers of California Highway Patrol, San Francisco Police Department, and most Northern California agencies. Genuine Talon zipper. Full one piece back (as opposed to three small pieces sewn together). Bi-swing with underarm vents. Removeable fur collar. Extended back. Kidney pads. Adjustable laced sides. Deep zippered inside pockets. Riveted reinforced badge tab. Double breasted front. Zippered sleeves. Custom fitted (if you can buy from their factory store directly).

Total 70's flashback. Can you hear it? Put this coat on, and your own soundtrack background music, with heavy bass, plays everytime you walk into a room. Who are you? Superfly? Shaft? You'll be one bad mutha......Shut Yo' Mouth! Ow! Get down like James Brown. Get on up! Like a Sex Machine! Woo Hoo!! Yeah!! Bow Chicka Bow Wow

This is a wonderful product; the fabric and workmanship are very high quality. My husband is a big man, so I purchase Golden Bear products in a size larger than he normally wears, and they work fine. He wears high end clothing, and this product line fits the bill. It's the second Golden Bear product I have purchased for him.

For the price it cannot be beat. Had to take up the sleeves a bit but otherwise fantastic.
