Does any have any experience with these jackets? I’ve never heard of them. Seems expensive for what it is. Are they nice? Are they comfortable? Warm? Waterproof? I’m just looking for an overall review of it and I can’t seem to find much on forums or by googling.

And Southwest is probably ordering ten times the number of embroidered name tags resulting in a bulk discount from whoever supplied their name patches. Can’t we just be happy about something for once?

Whatever your normal blazer chest size will work out when you look at their size chart fyi.
