Handsome design, rugged construction, medium is a good fit for me at 41" chest, 6''2", 34" waist. Hits at just the right sleeve length. Can probably wear a coat underneath. Cotton twill shell is heavy quality and in true khaki color; okay cotton flannel lining, serviceable woolen liner can be removed, oil cloth interleaf creates that army surplus store smell, but has a charm of its own for some of us. Largely goes away with steaming anyway. Knot the belt behind you to customize the fit at the waist and this trench coat will make you look as stylish as any Burberry could. I want to further tweak by switching the lowest two closure buttons and flaps on the front opening to the back vent so I can control flaring of the skirt, which is authentically generous. Tip: leather should be sewn on buckles damp so it will shrink to fit when dry. Not too bad, though. I''m well pleased overall. Thanks WPG!
