I purchased the metropolis after much debate. I think it is so worth the few extra dollars from competative brands. I bought the lands end down coat and found the down escaping and returned it to sears after I only wore it once. I am so glad I got the white, which apears actually winter white and easy to keep clean. I was waiting for a navy color and the helpful staff at backcountry suggested I order the white and if wasn't satisfied I could return if they got a blue in. This coat is so toasty warm, I do not understand the one review saying they got chilled at inaugeration in DC. I walked to church below 0 and stay comfortable. I will continue to buy from backcountry because of their great customer service.

I wrote my review but noticed someone not liking the vintage white. Most of my coats and jackets are white and only need cleaning about 1 or 2 times a season. The vintage is so sophisticated and goes well with everything along with dressier than the other colors. I do not roll in the mud with it and just stay aware of real dirty vehicles.

we loved the coat. I looks great, perfect spring and fall weight and very stylish. The people at backcountry are very helpful, never pushy and love their jobs . The coat is true to size if not a little roomier.

This jacket is well worth the money, and not that much at that. This is an ideal spring weight and keeps the wind out. We ordered a medium for a 10 year old. It runs a little big since she usually wears large or exlarge. The reviews are helpful Backcounty .com is the best place to order from. helpful
