Q: How warm is this jacket really?
A: Comfortable in temperatures from 5°C down to around -5°C with a long-sleeve shirt underneath. The thick sherpa lining provides solid insulation for typical autumn and winter days. For extreme cold below -10°C, you'll want to layer a sweater or go with a heavier coat. This is everyday winter wear, not arctic expedition gear.
Q: How does the sizing run?
A: True to size with a tailored fit through the body. The ribbed cuffs and waistband provide some flex, but this isn't a baggy oversized style. If you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath or prefer a looser fit, size up one. Check the size chart above for exact chest and length measurements.
Q: Is the sherpa lining actually soft, or does it feel cheap?
A: It's genuinely soft and plush the kind of fleece you'll want against your skin. We've worn this over just a t-shirt and it's comfortable all day. The lining is securely attached (no pilling or separation issues), and it holds up to regular wear without matting down after a few washes.
Q: Can I throw this in the washing machine?
A: Yes, but wash on cold/gentle cycle and air dry to keep the sherpa lining fluffy and prevent shrinkage. Don't use high heat in the dryer it can damage the fleece texture and affect the fit. Machine washable beats dry-cleaning bills, just treat it with a bit of care.
