I own one...here's my quick review:
It's a nice jacket, good quality. It keeps you warm. You will never need the liner unless you decide to work on the ramp one day. I bought the liner and used it once.
The only thing I don't like about it is that it is HEAVY. Bringing it with you on a trip is like bringing a 20 pound dumbbell that you can wear. The 95 percent of the time I don't wear it, I am either carrying in on my bag clumsily or forgetting it hanging up in the cockpit.
$380 is an exceptional deal for a new one and you won't have to wait the four months it takes Perone to select the calf to slaughter, fatten it up, put the lotion on its skin and then make the thing. They take forever. If you are going to buy one and you are a large, get this one. You will be glad you didn't have to deal with Perone.
Personally, if I had to do it all over again, I would opt for the Karbon Star Trek jacket or just not buy one at all and pop a north face on once the parking brake is set which is what I do half the time now.
