It was nice to see that this is made of actual jean denim material, so at least the denim portion of the jacket should be pretty tough. Hard to say how durable the flannel portions will be over time.Unfortunately, the jacket had quite a strong chemical smell upon opening. As everyone in my household has skin that is sensitive to chemicals, this was washed, TWICE, before wearing, and that still didn't completely get rid of the smell, but was reduced enough to try it out.The jacket looks nice, fitSee full review
