My first impression: "Man, the material in this jacket is way thinner than I pictured" - of course expecting a big, warm, thick wool hoody. Too my surprise this jacket supplies ample warmth for my use - cool weather jacket. It looks to be extremely well made - a tightly woven wool exterior with a nice waffle polartec lining. It is very well thought out with all tech jumbo in the description, plus two interior pockets and a nice waist drawstring. The fit is very true to size. I'm 6'1", 190 lbs and the large is perfect. It is fairly fitted, like others have said. There's definitely enough room for some layering but don't expect to put your down coat on under this thing. If you've got an extra spare tire or two you might want to look elsewhere. One of the best things about this jacket, the "MADE IN CANADA" tag! No Chinese crap here! Great sourcing backcountry!
