Icebreaker Mayfair Jacket - Men's

This coat was a bit of a long shot for me as I wanted a peacoat-style, but then again not the classic peacoat look. This Icebreaker has a cleaner cut than normal, smaller collar and a zipper on the inside which make it altogether different from the old school coats. The wool is nice and fairly soft with a great collar and clean look on the outside when it is all buttoned-up. As someone said before, it was a bit wrinkled coming out of the box, but obviously the wrinkles worked out over a couple days of wear. You have to zip it and button it, not just one or the other for the best fit\closure. The zipper caused me a bit of concern at first... I thought it was delicate so I couldn't get it to zip. Turns out you just have to be pretty firm\forceful with it and it hooks up.

Someone mentioned an odd fit - I didn't experience this at all. I always wear a large in all jackets (5'11" and 180), this fits perfectly. Sleeves are a smidge long, but that's fine for a cold-weather jacket.

Super versatile also, can throw it over jeans and a tshirt or with a shirt and tie and long enough even to go over a suit jacket.

Overall a great buy, just took me a little while to get used to it's features.

For starters, I loved the look of this jacket and was stoked when Backcountry got their new stock. I'm a small guy 5'6" @ 140lbs. Based on the sizing chart, I ordered a small. It looked great right out of the package and the quality seemed good (even though it's made in China). Unfortunately, the sleeves were about 6" too long and the jacket was so tight I could have Hulked out of it. Bummer. I returned it and went for a medium. On the medium, the sleeves were absurdly long and the jacket was still tight through the back and shoulders. I think I have an athletic build, but c'mon, I'm 140lbs. I've never put on a medium anything that was this tight. Net result - no Icebreaker for me. Conclusion, this jacket will fit you if you have a waifer-like supermodel build or you are an alien with abnormally long arms.

Bought my Mayfair in 2007, still going strong. Love it. Will get another when my current one finally falls apart (who know when that will be). Warm and stylish.
