Kevin's Men’s Paul Blue Wool Button up Jacket

Took this on a two week road trip, packed rolled up in a duffel. Came out with barely a wrinkle. Wore it every morning around the campfire over a hoodie and never felt cold. By midday it went in the back seat. The hip pockets are big enough for gloves and a beanie, which I used constantly. My wife said it's the first jacket I've owned that makes me look put together while still being practical. Already eyeing another one.

Fine jacket, nothing special for me. The wool is decent and the quilted lining is warm. My issue is the fit across the chest, a bit boxy on my frame, and the yoke seams sit lower than I'd like. Shipping took about ten days. I'll keep it for yard work and weekend errands.

I run a small woodshop and the space never warms up properly until midday. Needed something I could work in without feeling restricted. Shoulders have enough give for reaching and lifting, and the shorter cut doesn't snag on the bench. Sawdust brushes right off the wool. Definately ordering a second one to keep at home.

This fills that awkward gap between a hoodie and a real winter coat. Late September through early November I wear it nearly every day, then again in March and April. Deep winter it's too short and not heavy enough, and I knew that going in. For the in between months it's exactly right.

Sized for layering and it worked. I can wear it over a thick hoodie and still move my arms freely. Looks sharper than a hoodie alone, which matters when I meet clients on a Saturday morning for coffee.

Out of the box the wool felt stiffer than I expected and there were fold creases across the back. Hung it in the bathroom during a hot shower and most of that relaxed. After a couple weeks of wear it softened up alot. The quilted lining is the best part, honestly, it holds heat on a windy morning walk. Fit is roomy through the body, which I like for layering a sweater. Docking one star only for the initial stiffness.

Overall really happy with it. Warm lining, good length, fits with a flannel underneath. One button on the front was a bit loose when it arrived, so I put a few stitches in it myself. Five minutes of work. Everything else has held up fine through a month of daily wear.
