Very nice and well-made, but the cut is odd. The problem is the arm holes, upper arms, and upper back are significantly smaller than typical U.S. jackets. This problem is not restricted to a single jacket or size; I ordered all available sizes, and all are cut the same way. Even the largest size is still quite restrictive. A minor reminder for U.S. customers: the zipper is Euro-style ("backward" for men, "normal" for women)
These are ideal for small-framed folks. Those with large chests and/or upper arms will be happier with something else.
