This jacket is an absolute beast. I've had the 16.5 oz Unlined one since November of 2023 but I finally caved and bought this version, which is much more suitable for the cold weather. This jacket is nice and stiff from the get-go, but has started to get even better with wear. As many others have said, this jacket's blanket lining is actually not super heavy--making it a very versatile piece. The sleeve lining is even more insulating than the body in my opinion, which is a plus for Fall weather so I can comfortably wear a tee under it. Despite the wool blend lining being lightweight, this jacket is PERFECT for cold weather. I paired this bad boy up with one of my heavyweight 14oz Jcrew hoodies on a 7 degree New York Winter day and when buttoned up, it was actually completely windproof and kept me toasty--a testament to how good the wool blend is at retaining warmth. If you plan to layer up, I'd recommend sizing up. I wear an XL at 5'8, a 45 inch chest, 19 inch shoulders, and about 200 pounds. The XL is perfect with thick heavyweight sweaters/hoodies without ANY tightness whatsoever. And although the body is a tad big on me, the waist adjustments help pull it all together. Another fantastic piece from Tellason that I couldn't recommend enough!
