Weatherproof Garment Co. Men's Microfiber Classic Golf Jacket

Finding a good lightweight jacket that fits right, and looks the way you want it to look, in stores these days is really tough. For some reason, major chains like Kohls, JC Pennys, Sears, etc refuse to carry these jackets at any time during the year, but I was able to find some at Macy's.At Macy's store, this jacket had a sticker on it of an absurdly $125.00, which is the MSRP. But woopee! They have a 1/2 off sale, which is still over what a jacket like this is really worth. Stores like Macy's do this, so you think you're getting a deal - but don't. (Amazon also shows a MSRP of $125.00 - this doesn't mean that's the regular price, it only is a number put there by the manufacturer). And, get this - Macy's advertises this jacket on their website and has it at $160.00! 3 times what this jacket is really worth and $35.00 more than what the manufacturer suggests asking for it! (but wait --- free shipping and a 15% off coupon you got in the mail or found online? ---- Do the math, it still doesn't work!!!) That's an incredible amount of money to spend on a simple jacket like this.They only had one jacket my size there so I tried it on. I actually was going to buy it, but didn't, because it was an obvious return. No tags on it. Which got me to thinking. Where has this jacket been?So, off to Amazon I go. I just got the jacket in only two days using my Prime free shipping. It came in a sealed wrap, with tags, obviously untouched by unclean and contaminated human hands. I'm kinda funny this way - as I hate the thought of bringing something home from a store like Macy's particularly having only one jacket there this size, meaning who knows who has had it, or even if it wasn't a return. People are putting it on, taking it off, and putting it back on the rack and perhaps someone else picking it up off that filthy floor and hanging it back up for someone to purchase. Well, not me!With Amazon's return policy, it just seems ridiculous to put up with this. Why put up with the marketing BS these stores are pulling, and getting basically used and overpriced merchandise in the process?The jacket itself is of very good quality. I've had Weatherproof jackets in the past and have always been satisfied. This one has plenty of room in the arms (when extended) and is lightweight and comfortable. The sizing is well proportioned. It's a bomber type, meaning it has the elastic at the bottom and on the sleeves. I like this because when you're a little on the portly side and have to buy a larger jacket, the sleeves on other brands are usually too large with the arms being too short. These sleeves and arms fit very nicely and the jacket is very comfortable partially or fully zipped up.My only complaint about shopping for jackets on Amazon, is that they don't take pictures of the lining, or the inside of the jacket which for me is the most important aspect of it. Again, with Amazon's very fair return policies that would be the only advantage of going to a store like Macy's - to look at these before buying on Amazon.Great Jacket - Fair Price. Thanks Amazon.com! It's only a matter of time you put these knucklehead department stores out of business unless they figure it out and get their act together!(yes, I know ratings should be for the product, not necessarily the store, but in this case people need to know!)

I was first disappointed in the stiffness of the so called soft fabric, Compared to Faconnable jacket I bought years ago it is like paper compared to velvet. I also notice the XL seemed a little smaller. The finish of the fabric had scratches on it too. But for only 60 dollars it's an OK jacket but I probably won't be buying cloths online anytime soon again. I was hoping for a bit better than this from Amazon.

This jacket is a shell. It looks okay, appears to be waterproof, but it's really a fairly cheap shell, not a jacket. There's no insulation or form to speak of. In no way does this jacket match most of the competitors *cough London Fog cough*. It's inexpensive and built accordingly. So bad I'd return it? No. But I wouldn't recommend it.

This is jacket is for my dad. It's well made and very nice. The size feels true. I like it.

I love this jacket. I had one for 15 years and left it on an airport shuttle. It was a gift and I didn't know how I could replace it until I saw this on Amazon. It is warm and yet not too warm. I went kayaking in my old one and turned over. Had to finish the rest of the day wearing it, but I never got cold as it dried out. I expect the same of this jacket. It is my perfect spring/fall jacket when I never know how the weather is going to be during the day. And it is perfect for London in the summer! Yeah, I know it is a "mans" jacket, but I don't care.

I've owned three of these Weatherproof jackets, purchased at retail stores. The jacket I just received from this online source is not the same quality. The construction, fabric, lining, elastic wrist and waist bands are not as good. Also the jacket differs somewhat from the photo. I've really liked these jackets, so I'm disappointed having to return this one.

I like the quality of this jacket, but the Small size was way too big. I am 5' 11" and 150 lb and comfortably wear a standard small.

I ordered this jacket for my Dad in "Stone", which appears online like offwhite. The jacket I received is a pale green color. Luckily, it fits well and my Dad likes it but I am hesitant to order another one because who knows what color I'll get next time?
