Review on Experience Cozy Comfort With Legendary Whitetails Men'S Hooded Flannel Shirt Jacket by Todd Nordine

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent design, but expensive

While the fabrics are just about average, there are a few design details that make it stand out a bit on the fashion side. The wavy very shirt like lower line, snaps design, the leatherette elbow patches, 3piece hood with high extra snap for neck protection, these are very small and not apparent but play together well. 45 degree plaid pattern on front pockets and hood contrast. Impeccable size and placement for the side pockets, which is surprisingly rare in this type of jackets.It is not a work jacket by any means, definitely not sturdy enough, nowhere close to duck cotton jackets in that department. The outer shell probably rips rather easily, given a chance.The flannel is rather typical, although I got a feeling it is slightly softer and more pilling than usual. There is already some pilling, and there probably will be more, but nothing pill remover won't fix if it comes to that. Also, as typical for these materials, wrinkles quite easily, perhaps some gentle ironing could help.The cuffs are fitted slim, if you have large hands, chances are you may have to undo them when putting on. But it works for me, less wind in the sleeves.This jacket is rather light and is somewhere in the middle, between single layer fleece hoodie, and sherpa lined duck cotton jackets like Dickies, in terms of warmth. Perhaps mid 50s with a moderate wind at most. I don't hold it against it, it's just the weather it is for.Price is definitely a downside. Yes design has a lot of attention, but material and quality wise I don't see justification vs. the others.If you are lucky and get a copy without manufacturing defects, I'd say it's a good buy just on the style metits, assuming price is not objectionable.

Pros
  • I’m so glad I found this, it is so comfortable and can’t wait for it to get cooler weather.
Cons
  • The buttons may be difficult to fasten and unfasten, causing frustration and inconvenience
