Good to have the long sleeves. Else the same cut as the green version. Nice summer jacket and together with a slouch hat the people start staring at you...

I bought this jacket as part of a Halloween costume and I am very impressed by the sturdiness and overall quality. It's something I'm going to wear well beyond Oct 31.
The site advises people over 5'10" to buy a long jacket. I am 6' tall and I would advise against this. Unless your arms are exceptionally long, buying the long size will put the sleeves at your thumbs. I'm about a 17/34-35 in a dress shirt and this jacket was too long in the sleeves. Not a problem thought; just took it to the tailor and I'm quite happy.
I also ordered a jacket size one larger than my usual size, concerned that it might be too fitted. this proved to be unfounded concern. I am a 44 in the chest and some suit jackets are snug on me so I get a 46 sometimes. I'd advise not upsizing. The jacket would have been comfortable and not too snug at a 44.
Other commenters are correct. the Khaki color is on the darker side of things. Towards the brownish side -- a bit darker than pictured on the person in the photo.
Overall, very satisfied with the quality. Recommended.
