Hubertus Micro Corduroy Parka - Waterproof (For Men)

For general wear and use I think this coat is stylish and represents fair value. The zipper is tiny for the coat, but does work smoothly. For normal conditions with layers it should be fine, but this is a moderate wx coat. It would not stand up to rough outdoor wear. Best description from my wife: "It is very COUNTY. Let's take the Range Rover!"

When I first opened the package, I thought this would be a great jacket. It has a great fit and the material is soft, but the big problem with this jacket, like most made today, is the collar. The collar is not separate from the front zipper. It does fold down, but it leaves a space not covered near the throat, unless the collar is up. The collar on jackets should sit separately from the body of the jacket and fold up when needed, and down, out of the way ,when not needed. This one is not as bad as other jackets. I don't know why designers keep making jackets this way, but ,I would say 90% of jackets are designed this way now. It's too bad. This would have been a perfect jacket.If you don't mind that the front of the jacket zips all the way through the collar, then this is a great jacket. It would have received 5 stars, if the collar was designed the way I like. I thought it might be like this from the picture, but I thought I would order it to get a close up look.

Excellent fit, feel and great looks too! The material used to make this coat is first rate and only surpassed by the superb attention to detail in tayloring. I expect this coat may be the last one I'll ever need to buy.

Nice looking, warm, dry, breathable. Good features. Good for town or country. Wouldn't want to mess it up tearing through brambles or other very tough use, but otherwise very good Northwest winter weather coat. I exchanged first coat for one size smaller: same sleeve length, but less bulky look and feel.

This is an attractive mid-weight jacket for winter.

Total quality. Seams and fit superb. Price was right.

This really is a nice coat - warm and unusual looking. I'd forgotten it was corduroy until I stopped in to review it. It has a nice feel, but some serious quirks. What happened to good zippers? Once it warms up some, I'm going to see about getting the zipper on this removed and replaced with a good quality, double ended YKK zipper. The buttons are well enough placed that - unless it's windy - they work well enough. I would have liked fasteners on the outside chest pockets - they tend to be where I prefer to carry things like palm pilots for ready access, and I could easily see the pockets' contents spilling out. When I first tried it on, I thought I was going to be sending it back. Now, I figure I'll keep it and at least get the zipper addressed. The feel is nice and I like the warmth (better than an old LL Bean Maine Warden's Parka) and the feel.

Bought this for my hubby for Christmas and he loves it - padding protected him from a spill when skiing in the UP and it was nice and warm for him when we walked the dogs in a very cold Chicago lake wind.

Spent a day in the stand hunting in Scandinavia at 0C in light wind, minimum base layer, and over a sportcoat in the city for an evening out - excellent all around. The first coat I grab for most occassions.
