This was a gift for my son. He loves it and informed me that he tested it in pouring rain and it is impervious to water. He is 14 and takes part in a lot of out door projects and camping activities and this is his go to garment for working and being outdoors. Stitching rivets and straps and all the fabric are top notch quality. Really well constructed and super tough. I work on a farm and am now also considering purchasing one for myself. Plus, It looks really cool ;)

Cant say enough good things about this coat. I received yesterday along with the Bootlegger hat. Received on time and I should mention, just in time out here in Worcester County, MA, where we had another strange storm or as we call it, a wintry mix, which means heavy sleet, snow and freezing rains, accompanied by unpredictable winds.

One thing I noticed right away is the heft of the coat and while it did take a few minutes to figure out the buttons, it was as if I was wrapped in an oilskin cocoon. The rain just doesn't get in, regardless of how hard its blowing, regardless of how nasty the sleet is. buttoned up all the way and secure under the hat, I was pretty much impervious to the elements. I will likely get the liner in the near future, but overall, I was pretty warm under the skin.

Price - about what I expected to pay - locally at a Cabellas, this ran for 160-180...paying instead 124, I was happy. Normally I never buy a lot of clothing online because I prefer to see it up close first, but the lack of availability here in the Northeast (its just not cowboy country) prompted me to go the Amazon route and I couldn't be happier.

This is a very unique coat and like the hat, if you're in a region that isn't used to the whole country look, you will get some stares and confused faces, but once you get past that, you realize you're wearing something that is not only an awesome looking garment, but one that is weatherproof - I'd much rather wear this than a PCoat or rain coat - its just that cool.

Adding to the cool factor is its ruggedness. While not something one would wear as formal wear, its definitely going to be at home in my truck as an all purpose garment. I work in construction and can easily see this working on job sites in the rain and snow - its just that good.

I read a lot of complaints about the coat having a smell to it and there's a faint, almost leatherlike smell to it - personally, I dig it.

The pockets are generous and many and again, once you get used to the buttons, its a pretty weatherproof affair that you'll see the value in immediately.

I plan to probably buy another one as well as their shorter length coats.

I bought this coat one size too large (I'm 6'5" tall) expecting to need it sized a bit larger than normal to fit over my normal coat for winter months. I ended up with a coat that is a perfect fit when worn as my only outside layer. It is little bit snug when used as an overcoat. The sleeve length is perfect for my height, and the bottom of the coat hangs about 3 inches below my knees. I like the ability to cinch in the waist and the inside liner is more comfortable than I was expecting.

The coat seems to be well constructed and durable. It holds up to the (sometimes) heavy rain we can get in November in the Pacific Northwest. I noticed right away that after an hour of continuous heavy rain that I can "feel" a little moisture and coolness building up on the top of my shoulders. It's not bad, but something I noticed.

On arrival the coat has a oily residue coating the outside. I've been wearing the coat for a few days and that residue is either being washed off by being in the rain all the time or it is evaporating when I dry the coat off.

I'm happy with this product. It is a lot classier than my old poncho was, and it is keeping me a lot drier! Looks great when paired with the Kodiak 1480 Oilskin hat.
