Jacob Siegel Commuter Coat - Wool (For Men)

used for going to and from work. It is a little longer than expected

Ordered a 44L for my son-in-law, and fit was perfect. Medium weight, not bulky, knee length on his 6'2" frame.

This is a classic coat without looking as though I'm wearing my grandfather's clothes. It's long and warm enough to do the job of getting me from a light fall coat to the huge and heavy down job I'll get out of the closet when winter really sets in. However, this is not a heavy coat and it's agreeably soft to the touch; it doesn't feel as though you're wearing a horse blanket. I've given the product four stars rather than five only because I've had it for less than a month; to earn five stars, the buttons will have to stay on after a year's wear, a stiff test for any garment :-)

this is a nice coat. I'm not used to things this fancy, but my wife loves it.

I'm 5' 11" and 42 regular, with slightly wide shoulders for that size, and this fits me well; I'd enjoy better freedom of movement if the shoulders were cut slightly bigger, but this is true with most things I buy. It fits fine over a suit jacket and comes to just above my knees. This replaces a similar but not as nice coat; the other was heavier fabric, but this is just as warm, mainly because it fits better. It is not very heavy, but over a suit with gloves hat and scarf, it's hard to imagine needing more in DC, even when it's in the 20s outside. The material is nice--it feels sturdy yet soft. The only thing I'd change (aside from custom tailoring!) would be a bigger collar that turns up against the wind. Overall it's a strong buy; I've seen similar coats on department store sale racks for nearly twice as much.
