The wool is heavier and quality much better than I expected for the price. I have a 44+” chest and a 34” waist. The large was excellent fit, allowing for an Irish knit sweater underneath and freedom of movement. Two suggested improvements: the small button (attached to a ribbon) intended to enclose the throat area in severe weather is, frankly, not thought out, looks and is cheap. I took the anorak to a tailor to get rid of the button/ribbon, make the button hole larger and install a much more substantial and secure button befitting heavy weight wool. Secondly, the nylon inner pocket of the kangaroo pouch is also very chintzy and will not stand up to wear. I think the inner pocket should be made of wool or the cordura used on the shoulders, and include a snap or zipper to keep smaller ideas secure, particularly since the pouch pocket can not be closed. Details matter to me. These issues notwithstanding, I expect to get many years of hard wear with the anorak. An excellent purchase, particularly at the sale price. Hope this helps.
