Burnish / Raven is fugly

By Ranked #789 - Men's Softshell Jackets June 23, 2009

Great looking cut and fit. I'm 5'8" and about 190, broad shoulders and muscular build. Tried the MHW Alchemy in medium, and it's cut for very slender people. The Sharp Point in medium is a perfect fit on me, but the color is nasty. If it pops back up on SAC in the next few days, I'm going to get the blue or black, eat the freight, and return the brown. Otherwise I'll live with the one I have. The velcro on the cuffs lacks real bite, but shouldn't be a big problem. Initial quality looks great. Will probably be fall before it gets a real test. Another note about the color...looks like a much lighter khaki color on the screen whereas it's actually more like tan and brown. It would be a great color for my grandpa's golf bag or polyester draw string pants.
