Great jacket, bad zipper
This is a great jacket. Keeps me nice and warm in the winter, cut is very similar to the Detroit duck jackets of old but without the scratchy wool liner and stiff canvas. The aging they’ve done to the canvas is subtle and gives the jacket a little extra interest without going overboard. What’s devastating is the zipper. I’ve had this jacket since Christmas (1 month 23 days ish) and the zipper has broken twice. Once when I was unzipping the jacket the zipper tab came off in my hand, due to the eyelet the zipper tab is attached to is actually 2 separate pieces instead of 1, and again when the zipper came undone in the center, and will now do so with very little pressure every time I zip the jacket up. I plan on replacing the zipper with an older ykk so I can actually close the jacket again (though I personally think it looks better open). For a $200 jacket I would expect the zipper to function past 2 months at least, though I would still recommend it due to it being comfortable and very stylish. I hope someone at MoPaQ sees this and comes up with a solution for future models, because I think they got a great thing here.
