The Official Uniform of the Dull but Practical

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this plain black soft-shell jacket because, frankly, I am a plain and practical human being. This isn’t the kind of jacket you wear to turn heads or make a fashion statement. No one will stop you on the street and ask, “Wow, where did you get that?” In fact, if someone does notice, it will only be because you’ve successfully blended into a crowd like an extra in a spy movie. And that’s the beauty of it: this is a dull person’s coat, and I am exactly that person. It’s not flashy, it doesn’t sparkle, it doesn’t have a logo the size of a billboard. What it does have is functionality. It keeps me warm, blocks the wind, and gives me the quiet satisfaction of knowing that, while others are looking cooler with trendy zippers and neon trim, I’ve chosen the jacket equivalent of oatmeal—reliable, unpretentious, and guaranteed not to upset anyone. So, if you’re looking for fashion, move along. But if you want to join me in the understated brotherhood of the sensibly dressed, this soft-shell jacket is your ticket. Dull? Absolutely. Functional? Without a doubt. Regret it? Not for a second.

Exactly what I was looking for

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect fit and very well made/durable material. I got this for my boyfriend who is a size large. My only complaint is that they don’t have the equivalent for women, the closest thing is the Kruser style, which is also great but not going to lie this one is a lot better and I wish they had this for women so I can get one.
