Men's Auburn Zip-Front Golf Jacket

Well, I will have to wait until I actually wear it (it's summer where I live) to award the fifth star, but I imagine it's coming. I'd been looking at this jacket for a while, but the negative reviews, few though they be, kept scaring me off. Finally I decided to give it a shot, especially since Amazon returns are so ridiculously easy, and I am glad I did The quality is excellent, as is the fit, provided one understands that is a roomy, "classic" fit, not the skinny, streamlined look popular today. London Fog is a brand I remember well from my Boomer childhood, so it's being a Classic Fit came as no surprise, and indeed is what I wanted. I did the whole skintight clothing thing back in the 1970s, and have no wish to inflict that on myself or any innocent bystanders forced to look at me. Age is something one must accept gracefully. But I digress... A big complaint in a number of the reviews was the matter of wrinkles. The two jackets I purchased (in Dark Brown and Chili) were neatly folded in the original bags, and we're about as wrinkled as one would expect under the circumstances. A few minutes with a portable steamer, and they were both good to go. The mesh lining is of higher quality than I expected, as are the multiple and clearly useful pockets. The material is a microfiber that looks and feels like suede, and appears to be of good quality. The stitching is solid throughout, better than I have seen on many garments. Again it remains to be seen how they hold up out in the street, but so far I am quite pleased with these jackets, and will probably get one in blue as well. PS: Since I wrote this I decided to put this item to the test with regard to the alleged wrinkle problem. I washed and dried both jackets in accordance with the instructions on the label, and they came out fine, without any wrinkles worth mentioning. So, on the assumption (reasonable, I think) that they're not going to suddenly self-destruct under ordinary use, I am going to upgrade my review to give stars.

This London Fog jacket is just perfect. Light weight. Quality fabric. Washable! Many, many inside pockets! A PERFECT JACKET! I purchased it for my guy and he really likes it!!!!

NICE JACKET, fit well 5 9’ 207 32/33 sleeve. MATERIAL HAS GOT A FELT FEEL TO IT. COLOR WAS SHARP. WELL MADE WITH SOME ROOM. WOULD HAVE LIKED A BIT MORE LENGTH TO THE JACKET. IT FALLS JUST BELOW BELT LINE. HAVE ANOTHER JACKET COMING IN TO COMPARE SO ITS NOT OVER YET. STYLE IS NICE AS WELL. ITS A GOOD BUY IF OTHER DOES NOT MATCH UP TO THIS JACKET. PRICE WAS OK TOO. A BIT FUSSY ON THIS DUE TO THE EVENT OR OCCASION IN WHICH I WOULD WEAR THIS JACKET. LOOKS GREAT WITH DRESS SHIRT AND SLACKS.

My husband loves this jacket! It’s lightweight but repels wind, rain and is very comfortable. There are pockets inside and out and it’s well made. It fits him perfectly but there’s still room to wear a heavier layer underneath if needed. The soft fabric looks and feels almost like brushed suede so it is a very nice looking jacket too.

True to size , comfortable , good product , water prof , it warm enough for 45* , plenty of pockets , worth the money ,

Fits well, looks nice. Looks as shown in the picture.

In my area it's only really cold a few days of the year. While I own several coats and jackets that keep me warm during those few times, they are too warm the rest of the time. I needed something light, something to keep off a chill while holding off the wind and the occasional light mist. Enter two great choices: The London Fog Auburn Jacket and the Weatherproof Classic Golf Jacket. Both jackets were available from Amazon at reduced prices so I bought both. The bottom line is I like both and I'm keeping both. Both are similar and both are winners. My advice is to buy based on color and cost because you can't really lose. The Weatherproof Classic Golf Jacket differs from the Auburn Jacket by having knit cuffs and bottom edge. The Auburn Jacket has elastic in the bottom edge and the cuffs snap closed. I have no preference either way. The outer fabric of both is microfiber polyester (whatever happened to poly/cotton twill, I wonder). Both feel like the same weight and look like they could have been cut from the same bolts of cloth except for the colors. The liners are a little different with the Weatherproof being slightly heavier but in no way bulky or thick. The Auburn has a lighter feeling fabric inside. Again, I have no preference either way. Fit-wise they are very much alike. The Weatherproof is a little longer in the body than the Auburn when the Auburn is bought in standard sizes. Personally, I probably should have gotten the tall size of the Auburn but reviews indicated the Auburns sleeves are a bit too long and tall sizes usually have even longer sleeves. I'm almost exactly six feet tall with a long torso so I can usually go either standard or tall without either seeming off. I ordered the Auburn in standard length and it's okay but just a tad short. However, I wouldn't want the sleeves to be any longer. The Weatherproof fits me perfectly in length and the sleeves are okay too--not as long as those on the Auburn. I ordered XXL in both jackets and I cannot detect any difference in the fit around the chest or waist. They're roomy enough in my case for wearing a heavy sweater if need be. I've worn them with thick sweatshirts but nothing heavier. I've worn both jackets in 45F weather but not in the rain. Both cut the wind well. I don't expect either to be waterproof like my Eddie Bauer rain parka. Probably fine for a light mist or a quick shower. What I find so great about these jackets is that they're comfortable over a wide range of temperatures. I can wear one while driving without having to deal with the bulk of a heavier coat and I can wear it indoors for extended periods without feeling overheated. Even on cold days, I usually only need a jacket for those times I'm outdoors between buildings or from the car to a building. I only need a really warm coat when I'm outside for more than a few minutes. Which to buy? Both are great. I have a tan London Fog Auburn and a light blue Weatherproof Classic Golf. Both colors will coordinate and match with other colors fine. The London Fog has more color choices here on Amazon so that might be a factor. My decision was made based on price. At the time I bought both jackets, the prices were at a low point and both jackets were bargains. EDIT 01/18/2019: I've worn both these jackets for a while now and I have to give the edge to the London Fog. That's based on a couple of things about the Weatherproof that wasn't evident at first. Mainly it has to do with the knit cuffs on the Weatherproof. In a very short time, they are beginning to pill on the right side of my jacket. I'm not sure this speaks well for the quality of the fabric for the longterm. Another thing I did not notice early on is that the cuffs on the Weatherproof do not match. The left cuff's knit is different from the right. This might explain the pilling of the right cuff. However, I admit I like the way the knit cuffs fit compared to the snap cuffs of the London Fog. On the London Fog, the cuffs feel either too tight or too loose, depending on which snap I use.

Though I stated pretty decent quality the current price is a bit high ( $50 ish) for this product. For it's weight it is reasonably warm. Many pockets. Nice liner. In my size 3xlt the drape of the garment is a bit odd. Stitching and fabric are better than most.

Nice jacket but had to send back. The large was more like an XL or XXL. Unusual.

yes its good :)

Generous sizing, so the coat is plenty big enough. Loads of pockets. Exactly what I was after.

Compre la talla G para regalar y quedo muy bien, en talla no hay problema, el color es muy bonito, es un caqui con una tela tipo durazno, cierres y costuras de excelente calidad... Buena compra.

Tolle Jacke. Passt alles.
