"I bought this with great expectations. In short, pluses and minues are:

- Very warm
- hood is fabulous
-hook to tie unto button broke off in 2 weeks
-probably could use a zipper as well as buttons
-was hoping that Shearling would be "richer""

Orvis also thanked the customer for taking the time to provide this feedback and offered an exchange or a refund. Orvis will cheerfully exchange or refund a customer’s purchase at any time, for any reason; our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee is the strongest in the business. Orvis also noted the customer’s suggestion about adding a zipper to this coat but points out that, as this is a re-creation of the famous coat worn on missions over the English Channel to Europe, modifications were kept to an absolute minimum.

great stuff, 26 November 2008
By: choochoo from St. Louis, MO

"I'm 6'5 and have an above average length torso with long arms and the xxl fits perfectly! Great coat with very very high quality. Would definitely recommend for a man that has everything. I just wish the zippered hood was metal/brass or matching buttons as the front of the coat."

"I am very happy with this parka, the pockets are deep, it keeps the wind out. I can get away with just a sweater underneath. I have had many compliments."

"This is truly a one of a kind. The picture does not do the jacket justice. Do not miss purchasing this parka."
