Definitely a pretty penny, part of the pricetag is very much partly for the RRL brand name factor rather than being strictly translated to the quality. Not a knock against the quality itself either -- it's very well-made and is a beautiful item, doesn't feel cheap or like any corners were cut, just that there are more durable deck jackets out there you can pick up for the same price or less with more bang for your buck -- Heat Straps, Pike Brothers, The Real McCoy's, to name a few.

That being said...I don't regret picking it up, not one bit. I feel like I want to and can wear it every day. It's comfortable and somehow so warm without ever running hot, and the fit on the medium was perfect for me (6'1 / ~170 lbs). I can layer if I want, but honestly, I often just run it over a t-shirt, and it's perfect.

Again, the price of entry is pretty steep, but I personally had to pick it up at the end of the day. I admittedly make a lot of purchases that I end up retroactively questioning in hindsight, but not a single part of me doubts this one. Don't be afraid to be afraid.

Really nice fitting jacket and looks good. Perfect for spring or fall, but need to layer for colder climates

a bit baggy so make sure you don’t try to size up,
also we all know why we bought this jacket…
i hope i mattered

The jacket is exactly what I wanted! I Iove the little details like the historically accurate 1940s YKK zipper. The price is high like all RRL pieces but it hence the 4 stars but it was worth it to me.

Fantastic jacket!

I mean it is a fantastic jacket I can deny that. I absolutely love it but I'm not gonna lie it's about $400 too much. I'm still trying to get over that part but it sure is nice!

It’s a beautiful and well made jacket. The fit is great

Wonderful jacket, the medium didn’t fit as expected but that’s my bad because the large did.

Awesome jacket and great fit!
