I paid around $ 204. The jackets run a little small. I normally wear an XL for everything and ordered an XL. It fit, but was snug. Sent it back and got an XXL. It was no big deal to send it back and reorder. I really like this new coat. BTW I'm 6'4" tall and about 275lbs. No scooby snack jokes or else

Hey Vagabond, I live up in Bellingham. Lots of white stuff up here, but I've been getting around in my Expedition. A lot of people getting stuck out there. We're expecting another 2 to 4 inches tomorrow. Good Luck!

Just went by VF Solutions last week and tried on the different sizes. I think this is a must because it is not as simple as S, M, L, XL, XLL. They are sized in two different measurements. I had no idea it might be cheaper without the reflectors. I just told the lady at the counter what size I thought I needed. They were no help and I think there are more choices of sizes than what they have. By the way, the new delivery time is up to four weeks. If somebody could tell me if I could save Fred some money by canceling the reflectors, please let me know.

6'1" and 150 pounds. I'm a drinker with a running problem...

Medium fits perfect. I ordered it at VF, and they told me to expect it within 3 weeks. It arrived at my house two days later.

-It's VERY warm. It is also very light, probably weighs a pound or two at the most. But it has no place for a name tag; I put a zip-tie on the zipper so that I can tell which jacket is mine when there is more than one in the cockpit! I want to go skiing this winter so that I can put a lift ticket on the zipper...

MajorKong,

I called VF Solutions, they were of very little help, and they stated that they didn't have any Long sizes. I am 6'5" and a slim 230 (heavy Liver). I need a XL Long, but was told that that size was not available. Did you see XLL in the store ? If so, please let me know. Sorry that my first post is about a silly jacket, but I am sick and tired of that ugly leather thing; if only it had fur around the collar.

R/S,
Rob

I sent back the XL they shipped to my house and ordered a large. After 2 weeks, I called to find out if it had been shipped.

I was told the Large size is on backorder until Feb 5th. It's not going to be cold this winter, anyway. Right?

The new parka is more stylish than the old one, however, the old one was longer and protected more from the weather. I am 6' 3" and the jacket comes down to waist level. It needs a longer length size. One length size DOES NOT fit all.

Hey Herkman, I bought an XXL and it's long enough. I'm 6'4" tall and most of my height is in my upper body. I really like the jacket. I normally buy all my clothes with Eddie Bauer because they sell their shirts in tall as well as regular. Good luck.
