Very impressed, heavy and warm coat

So I actually really loved this jacket but I ended up returning it because it was just a tad too large for me and too heavy for what I was needing! I am 5'8 and 144 lbs and ordered a medium which was too large through the body. A small would probably fit me better.

If I did more winter sports or lived in an area with a more significant winter, I would have exchanged for a small. I loved the weight of the jacket, seemed super warm and was heavier than I was expecting. The thumb holes in the sleeve lining were awesome. The pockets were all great, but the front ones do not have any insulation or lining. The hood was large and cozy. The material seems quite durable, but it does make a bit of a crinkling noise when moving around, though I imagine one would get used to it quickly. The color, aqua blue, was really nice.

I will for sure be saving this coat in my account in case I do ever need a real winter jacket for the outdoors. It was just too much for our climate and my intended use.

I love the coat.  It runs large - a very generous fit.  I originally ordered it in my normal size but it was much too large - I returned it and got a size smaller.  The fit is fabulous.  The tailoring and structure are exquisite.  I have taken tailoring classes and this coat is very well made.

I purchase this coat for my step father that needed a coat for this upcoming winter. Last year's winter had kick his butt and his old coat didn't keep him warm at all. This coat will definitely keep you very warm in harsh winter weather. It's very well Insulated all over. You don't need to be layered with this coat you could just have a t-shirts on and you could just go out side like that with the coat. The coat is a bit heavy, I'm not going to tell you that it is not but it is worth it. It's not too much of a discomfort but it is heavy. He doesn't have a problem with it. I like this coat so much that I got it for myself, yes I know that it is a men's coat but so what I need to feel warm in the winter time. I don't want to be freezing my ass off while waiting for the bus. New York winter is not that fun especially last year's winter. I would definitely recommend this coat to anyone and everyone that needs a good winter coat.

I just re-ordered this coat after wearing out the first one over the course of several years.  I live in New York City, and it met all the demands of a northeastern winter.  It's waterproof, very lightweight, and has large pockets (a must for people who walk around the city.)  The most amazing thing, though, is just how warm it is!  I've walked through many a blizzard with this thing on, with only a sweatshirt and a scarf underneath.  Plus, it looks really cool- people compliment me on it all the time.  It's very sleek, and doesn't give off the vibe of being a mere rain coat.  It appears that Carhartt has quit making it in black, however.  I'm thrilled that I was still able to find one here.  Scoop it up while they last!  It's first-rate, all the way around.

I wasn't sure how I was going to like this coat, but I am glad I got it.  One of my concerns was how warm was it going to be.  I can let you know that we had temperatures this past week that were close to 0 degrees Fahrenheit, and this coat worked pretty well considering it is only fleece.  We even had a snow storm yesterday and I was comfortable out in it and the hood kept the snow off my head.  One thing that is deceptive about the picture is that the hood really isn't able to be hidden in the collar.  You could tuck in in to the jacket but I don't this would look right so I just leave it out.  I got the gray one and now I am going to get the black one.

I bought this coat in a medium for $55! What!? Amazing.

I'm 6'1 and 165lbs, and it fit well through the shoulders and arms. I will echo what some have said in that it is a bit wide through the waist. I'll probably have it taken in a bit to make it more of a fitted look. But other than that, its amazingly warm and well made. The one thing I would have liked is to be able to detach the inner bib.

I think some of the Kenneth Cole Peacoats do this, so if that is important, look at those.

Very warm and high quality jacket that is comparable to Canadian Goose. I live in NYC where it gets freezing during the winter. I get a lot of compliments on it as well.  It really looks like an expensive jacket. It does run larger.  I would recommend going down a size, which is what I should have done.  Because it does run larger it gives room to layer with sweaters underneath though for really brutally cold days.  Very pleased with this purchase overall and will be using this jacket for years to come

I really like it! It's warm and heavy only thing is the top botton does not clamp together and the zipper is a little difficult...I recommend looking at the size chart and ordering your US size because it does run a bit large and also the color is a bit lighter. The coat comes with a fur hood and wrist sleeves that you can self attach it took me a while because I have long nails and the hooks are small...I like the fur on the hood

I adore this coat! It truly exceeded my expectations, and I love it. I had always lusted after Spiewak coats, and heard wonderful things about them. This coat has a distinctly unique look: almost vintage 40's -ish, yet the asymmetric front lends a modern twist.
I bought the coat in Loden, (an incredible almost army green, but with a more vibrant hue to it; quite true to the colour depicted on my screen but even lovelier) and I chose a size small. I am almost five feet four inches, and my weight fluctuates between one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty, and the fit is perfect. ( my measurements are: bust 34, waist 27, and hips 38, and I am only ( self conciously ) posting this to help one choose a size. I also have acute scoliosis, which causes coats and tops to pull oddly tight across my shoulders when I move my arms forward or extend them backwards, which is always a concern especially if I cannot try something on, and this coat gives me ample room without any awkward constrictions!)
As a petite person, I was hesitant to go for a less fitted, oversize look - lest it overwhelm my smaller frame(I love all the borrowed from the boys slouchy silhouettes!) but this coat looks like it was made just for me.
I cannot recommend it enough! (this is practically a steal-saw it locally for $295!)
Ps. The fabric is a wool/poly blend; 70%wool, 30poly; and is a touch rough. That said I have highly sensitive skin, and cannot wear most wools against my skin. Yet being a jacket it seems to be ok for me.
Hope this helps!

This coat is beautiful -- extremely well made for the price.

Purchased a previous listing of this product for around $100 last year, but I would not hesitate to pay more. Absolutely fantastic winter coat. Extremely warm, unique zippered-pocket outer layer with a nice-looking quilted style liner. It is a little on the 'modern' (tight) end as far as fit is concerned, but even at 6'2"/195 a large is comfortable, compact, and good-looking.

The big disadvantage here is that the liner is not removable. If you know you're going to be out in the cold and transition directly into a well-heated environment or have time to change it's fine. If you like layering your clothing or will be moving through a few different temperatures you're out of luck.

Though this coat seems to run a little small, it does fit. I have to say the quality is excellent. I was really surprised at how well made this coat is. I needed something for the Midwestern really bad weather that would give more warmth than my everyday wool jacket. I think this coat could go to the Arctic and still be warm. The detailing and quality of the fabric, construction, and warmth of this coat are just amazing for the price. I could have paid twice as much and not gotten a coat as well made as this. One caution. The coat is heavy, I mean the weight. If you are looking for lightweight warmth, this is not for you. If you are looking for a coat to wear on those days when the windchill reaches below zero, this is for you.

After reading other reviews, I ordered a medium, I am 5"2", 150#. Love the color, Teal, hardly any odor, no package creases- just hung the coat up in fresh air for 10- minutes. Coat is between mid-calf and ankles. It fit better than expected, but about 2-3" longer than I would like it ;however, I will probably appreciate the extra length when I am out in cold weather in the evening or in cold winds. It covers my legs well when I walk my dogs in cold temps. I use a collar extender to close the hood better. Yes, a reverse zipper would have been awesome.  The zipper is long and entails bending every time to unzip or zip. Yes, the outside pockets are shallow.  I love the two inside, hidden, pockets. Light but very protective in cold weather.  I received it yesterday and this morning our temp was 8 degrees below 0. I was amazed at how warm it was!

I love this coat. It is a nice color and very warm. I wore it when it was below zero and it kept me nice and toasty. The hood is also very warm, and has a nice metal clasp to pull it in tight to your face when it is windy so it does not blow off. The length is right above my knees (I am 5'4). The only thing I noticed is every once in a while a random feather sticks to my pants, and, it is NOT water proof. I wore it in the rain and it soaked through on my neck and shoulders. The inside of the back and hood are lined with a warm soft material, so it keeps in the warmth really well. It did not soak through during the snow, so it appears to be rain only.
