I was comparison shopping between this coat and Filson's Mackinaw, and this was the better coat. I am very impressed with the quality of the product, and love the company. I own a fair number of Filson garments, and this is as good or better. Sizing is generous and good for layering.

I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur on wool clothing owning several products from several top brands. The SK Mackinaw is right up there in quality, a densely-woven wool, not scratchy like lesser wools and its thick the way I like my wool outerwear. This will be durable and last decades. Sizing: I'm 6'4" and 270# and had to downsize to a XL Tall, I originally bought an 3XL Tall and was swimming in it. Tried a 2XL Tall and it was still too big across the shoulders, chest, and body. I like the length of the talls. If I could change one thing, I'd add an interior chest pocket for a modern mobile phone. A phone will fit in the outer lower cargo pockets but I put other things there like my keys and gloves. The upper handwarmer pockets are nice when standing around to put your hands in and keep hands warm but won't hold anything else well.

I have lived in Western New York all my life-67 years. To put things in perspective, I'm a half-hour drive from two of our Great Lakes; Lake Erie and Ontario. Our winters can be harsh with Lake effect snow; lots of snow, high winds, and the snow coming down sideways. We have snow piles in our parking lots into July-see, the blizzard of 1977. We had to relocate the venue of the Buffalo Bills game this Sunday because of seventy-seven-plus inches of snow, I'm old school, prefer wool, and purchased the wool Mackinaw Coat in Red/Black Plaid. I'm six-two, at two-hundred eighty, and the XXX-Large-Tall allows for layering, such as a midweight layer/wool sweater. I rate this coat right up there with a 40-year-old Woolrich Hunting coat; it fits a little snug now, and my Schott Melton Wool Pea Coat. I place the Stormy Krommer Machinaw right up there with the Filson for far less money.

I went back and forth for a couple of years trying to decide on this coat, or that competitor out west. For a hundred bucks less, this is, in my opinion, a better coat. It's heavier and a better fit than their "Cruiser". It's ruggedly built and is of high quality all the way around. I'm just shy of 6 foot tall and weigh 170. I chose the Large size as I usually layer with thicker wool or fleece shirts or sweaters. I also like a roomier fit as it helps keep me warmer. This is the perfect coat for the coming Northern Wisconsin winter!

A top quality wool coat. I’ve had it since last autumn, and it’s outstanding. Collar is big and flips up to block the wind nicely. It’s comfortable in +10 to -10 Celsius with a big sweater. Sizing is big, 5 11” and 180lbs and the medium fits well in the shoulders with room to layer. Cut is straight, so there’s extra room in the waist. I would suggest offering a tapered version for slimmer clients. This coat is built to last

Ordered a 2XLT. I guess "on average" that's what I received - but I'm not shaped like a triangle pointing upward, nor is your sizing guide. The shoulders were too narrow for anything more than a t-shirt (and still too tight), but I could have worn a life preserver belt at the waist with room to spare. I'm 6'6, and wear a 50XL coat, 42 waist. Should have fit perfectly / room to spare according to sizing guide: 2XLT=50/52 chest, 42/44 waist. I had high hopes for this coat to replace my old Woolrich, happy owner of a SK Ironwood vest as well. Get the shoulder-to-waist ratio corrected and I might be back for another try. ---- Hi Robert, I am sorry your coat didn't quite fit as expected. I replied to your message and look forward to hearing back to you to discuss this further. -Sk -------

GREAT PRODUCT AND PRICE

Wow. I own several Filson mackinaws and this one is truly special. The weave is a bit tighter than the Filson's mackinaw but the cut, fit, and design (I believe) is superior. The button flap and neck are reinforced w/ a more sturdy material and adjustable wrist cuffs is a nice feature. Wearing the coat, it feels warm and snug but not restrictive in anyway. Eager to take it out in the cold and see how it handles the chilly weather. Thanks Stormy Kromer for a great coat!

A coat of a lifetime. Incredibly well made and comfortable. Thanks for the 3XT. Normally wear a 4XT but this does the trick. The grand kids will wear this coat someday.
