Read the reviews to choose CORRECT SIZE
Size: X-Large, Color: Antique Indigo
A is offering discounts on some sizes, but caution is needed to avoid a mistake. My husband makes this review:
* I am 6' 0" tall; 215 #; chest 44"; waist 39"
* XL fits very, very well. This is a "waist jacket", and I am old enough to call it an "Ike" or "Eisenhower jacket"
* The fit is flattering; but there is space available for a medium sweater.
* I typically wear a size 16 1/2 neck and a 34" sleeve--I have some welcome space at the neck and the sleeve extends about 1-1 1/2" below my wrists--I like this a lot
* I wanted the lighter color, BUT I saved about $15 with the darker.
* Reading reviews here, I DID wash it the first time with 1/4 cup salt and 1/2 cup vinegar--I believe the suggestion was made for purposes of "fixing" the color. [Warm wash and cold rinse.]
* Post-wash girth and length remained the same.
* NO SMELL, PRE-WASH or POST-WASH.
* "Fit and finish" was very good; no defects of any kind seen; fabric quality is sturdy.
* I find it a handsome and useful weight/size. I live in the Central Cal. desert, so we do not see much cold, even in Winter.
I expect many years of use for this garment. At current 30% off, this is a COMPELLING bargain.
