Legendary WhitetailsMen's Dakota Jacket Jacket

My first impressions with this were quite solid. Outer shell feels like leather and seems a bit water resistant (not really though). It looks excellent, isn't very heavy and provides enough warmth for most winter days on the west coast even with just a t-shirt underneath. You might still feel chilly at ~5C if you aren't that cold tolerant though.The pockets are pretty disappointing though. Some reviews mentioned them ripping and the material (also lining the sleeves) is quite thin. It can prevent sweaty hands but it's very prone to cold and wont keep your hands warm much at all during winter.I have a 33-34" chest. I ordered small and it fits loose on me but doesn't look too bulky. Having two front zippers with the hoodie attached is kinda weird at first but you get used to it. It'll likely be great for the spring time but the pockets suck and make the $150 I paid for it at the time a bit questionable. I wonder if it'd be worth it to get better ones sewn in.

I bought the size L Tabacco colored jacket after buying the size M in black. The M is too tight and is going to the op shop. The L is the correct size despite the sizing charts. In the marketing and pictures it looks really nice but in reality after receiving this jacket, its worth half the asking price including delivery in my opinion. If I saw it in front of me a a shop I would not have bought it for more that $40.00. There's nothing exclusive or special about it. There's also nothing wrong with it. It's just one of those purchases that doesn't meet expectations. It looks great in the pictures and the marketing spiel by the product manager in the video but the real thing deosn't look like that. It's sport of a rubbery faux leather look that is not supposed to be leather look. It's going to the op shop too.

I'm somewhat a large guy - and relatively slim (6' 210 lbs), and the jacket is a bit large (ordered a large). Would probably have exchanged it for a large if they had it. Maybe it's that I'm used to fitted jacket. Look carefully at the sizing charts. If you're a 32-34, probably go with the medium.But the quality of the jacket is great. Amazing. Looks very casual and it'll be amazing this spring for weekends.

Perfect quality, great fall jacket for everyday wear and hikes. Husband loved it and the pocket on the inside of the jacket as well!

My only issue is that for a large tall. It's pretty big. I still wish it was a bit longer. But it's slightly too large in diameter for me. Quality is fine. But watch the pricing. I got ripped off the first time around.
