Description of The North Face Duboce Wool Jacket - Men's:
The casual Duboce Jacket brings The North Face downtown, with soft wool construction and a clean, technical look. This insulating piece works admirably on its own in the fall, and moves seamlessly under a shell in the winter for durable warmth. Dual handwarmer pockets do just that, while internal media and security pockets hide your tunes and cash.
The North Face does a great job making jackets. Duboce Wool keeps me warm on cold morning's on the way to work. I originally was looking for a wool pea coat but didnt like the style, once i found this it went perfect. the warmth was good too. Although i was thinking it would be a heavy wool jacket, this is warm for how thin it is. Pockets are well lined "non snag for those of us who have rough hands" For extreme cold weather I usually wear a hooded sweatshirt under. all around i think this jacket is perfect for fall, light winter.
When I think of buying a "wool" jacket I immediate think of warmth. This was a mistake for this jacket. It has great style, but is not thick at all. It will stop the wind, but will not keep you warm unless you have on layers underneath.
I live in Pittsburgh where its usually a cool 30 degrees all winter (4 months), I am returning it, there's no way this will work for me.
If you are looking for a stylish jacket that will stop the wind in fall and early winter/early spring, I would recommend it. But for this price I just cant do it because its not going to keep me warm for our 4 months of winter.
what else can i say,i ordered xl and i am 5'9'' 200 lbs.and the fit is perfect,not too snug and not too baggy,it's very thin,but wool does wonderful on cold and warm conditions,very good looking too,at least that's the feedback i get on the street...hope it helps.
