The Mackinaw Coat

I received this coat almost a week ago, and have been putting it to the test in single digits and negatives temperatures. So far it has exceeded my expectations in quality and warmth. I had been eyeing this coat for about 2 years now and finally decided to pull the trigger on it. One of my main concerns was that it wasn't going to be thick enough. When I received the coat I was surprised that it was fairly thick and was a very tightly woven wool. I want to compare this coat to my hunting parka that is insulated as well as my carhartt coat that I wear for work. I typically wear and shirt jacket under my carhartt when temperatures get around 35 degrees or lower. I treated the mackinaw coat the same way for my tests and I found that it was actually warmer than my carhartt coat. The mackinaw coat breaths really well, much better than my carhartt and my hunting parka. The quality of the mackinaw coat is probably far nicer than about anything I own. I really only have two complaints. One is I do wish the sleeves were just cut slightly longer and bigger around. I'm about 6'5" and it's difficult to find shirts and things that fit me right to begin with. As the sleeves are now they won't really make the coat unwearable it would just be more of preference. The second would be to line the sleeves with silk or something. Other than that I really can't say anything bad about it, it is warm and does have a nice cut to it. I would definitely buy this coat again.

I love mine so much I bought one for our son.

Came in a timely manner and is the best coat I have for cold weather. Reminds me of a jacket giving yo me by my dad as a kid . Looking forward to getting another one for plowing and fishing .

Nicely made jacket in every detail except one. The sleeves at the forearm are so snug I can barely wear a sweater under it. I wonder if this is a flaw in my jacket or the way it’s supposed to fit. I sure would like to know. It sure seem like you should have room for a substantial sweater under it.

I ordered the coat and hat. On 12/16/2017. Nothing. My Order ID # is 211071. Money was taken out of my credit card account. And I have no coat or hat. I'm very unhappy. I feel I have been taken advantage of greatly. Wilma - I am so sorry about this. Have you contacted our customer service team?

This is a great looking coat and is built very well. It totally misses the mark for warmth though. It requires the use of a quilted liner or other warm garment below it.

My charcoal Mackinaw arrived only about a week ago, so I'm sharing my initial impressions and observations after a week on non-stop wear as Minnesota descends into winter. If I remember, I'll do an update review in a few years as to its long term durability. That said, I'm very pleased with both the looks and the quality of the Stormy Kromer Mackinaw. Echoing other reviews, the stitching appears strong and consistent. I've looked it over for small inconsequential flaws, but found none. The consistency of the wool and the color are perfect. It is a quality garment through and through. It also fits me well! It's also a very comfortable coat, relatively light weight and deceptively warm. Yet it's also breathable - one of the advantages of wool. It never really occurred to me that I'd receive compliments about it, but I have. A number of folks have noticed and asked about it. I appreciated the card that came with it, personally signed by the person who inspected the coat before shipping. And I'm glad it is American made. The coat is brand new, but so far I am very pleased.

Love this coat. Fit is perfect and keeps me warm! Really liked the postcard from the worker who packaged my item as well.

This coat is great, it’s fits well and is well made . Another great purchase from Kromer . I’ll havw countless years in the woods with it .
