Review on Experience Unmatched Comfort And Style With Legendary Whitetails Men'S Journeyman Shirt Jacket by Gene Evans

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice jacket-shirt. I'm happy with the purchase.

Overall, I'd say this jacket-shirt exceeded expectations. First impression is that it is more hefty than I expected, which is a good thing. For warmth, I would say that it's warm enough for fall/spring in my area (mid-Atlantic), especially if you put a good base layer under it. But it is not heavy enough for winter, which is fine. I bought this as a cool weather jacket and have heavier jackets for colder weather. Water does bead a bit on the outer fabric, but I'll probably wax it if/when that beading starts to go away.The "barley" color that I got matched the Walmart photos pretty well. At first glance (and in the Walmart photos), the shirt appears to have a rugged, worn-in look with a bit of natural color texture from "wear". But it's not color texture, the outer fabric actually has a bit of sheen that reflects light giving that effect. The fabric also has an unexpected feel: Instead of a slightly coarse cottony feel, it has a smooth satiny feel. And the cloth is very tightly woven - more so than your usual work shirt. None of this matters to me as I like both the look and feel of it. But if you're particular that a shirt like this should look and feel a certain way, then you may not like it. The inside is lined with cotton flannel for the torso and polyester for the sleeves. Lining the sleeves with a slicker cloth makes it easier take off without accidentally turning the sleeves inside-out, but if you prefer maximum insulation, polyester is not ideal.The sizing was pretty true to the chart. Maybe just a tad bigger, but not much. Be aware that it's not a modern slim fit though; it's a regular or classic fit. I'm 6'2" and 210 lbs and the LT size fit pretty ideally with the sleeve cuffs folded up, which is what I wanted. I recommend taking measurements of yourself to ensure you order the right size. A few minutes of effort before you order could avoid several days of delay and a lot of hassle after.

Pros
  • Light weight comfort. Quality jacket.
Cons
  • The shirt jacket is too stiff to move freely in
