Top Quality But Poor Fit
I am 6'0", 215 lbs, 44" chest, 42" around the belly button, 35" arms, 17 3/4" neck, and 20" shoulder to shoulder. I am usually an XL but wear an Large in Filson since they run big (Wrangler's size chart says I'm an XL and Filson's says I'm an L). The Large was a perfect fit in the lower body, but was very tight in the shoulders, back, and underarms. Exchanged for an XL which was slightly too big in the upper body and much too large elsewhere, even when layering over a heavyweight hoodie and long-sleeve shirt (Large pit-to-pit is 24.5" and the XL is 28"). The sleeves in both sizes were short but not bothersome. I wanted a coat for both casual wear and working; the L was very constricting and the XL was too large.
The quality, however, is superb. The denim is thick but not too stiff, the sherpa lining is warm, and the craftmanship seems durable. Surely worth the price in terms of quality, but the fit made it not worth it for me.
