Mariner Heavy Jacket Navy

Simply put, the best winter coat I've ever owned. Great fit, finish, and warmth. Classic look but with modern styling and rugged construction. Freenote went the extra mile with lined sleeves.

Had been looking for the older alpaca plain collar Mariner and was excited to see Freenote brought it back with an even heftier version. There's a lot of N-1s out there, but I'm glad this one is a little less of a military version. I'm a 45-46" chest and went with the XL for layering and the fit is great.

I’m glad I waited out on getting an RJ-2 because this is the best cold weather jacket I have ever worn and has everything I care for in it! With it being fully lined from the collar all the way into the sleeves means I can wear this jacket alone under a shirt into the 30s-40s and still be comfortable. The large, but not oversized, collar makes cold, windy days comfortable to be in and is comfortable to keep on the back of your neck when its cold out because of its lining. The ribbed cuffs are a perfect addition to keep the cold air out and warm air inside and don’t make the sleeves bunch up when reaching out or moving about. The zipper is nice, chunky, and feels like it can take the abuse throughout the years. It is a bit stiff and hard to start at times when new but with frequent use and technique can get easier over time. My only complaint and request would be to add an additional zipper pull at the bottom of the jacket to make it more comfortable to wear when sitting down outside or in your car. Since the waist is zipped shut once you pull the zipper up, the jacket bunches up and rides up on you once you sit down making the collar come right up to your chin. I feel being able to adjust and loosen the waist to accommodate your different use cases would be a major improvement. But even without that revision this jacket is still a 10/10! So long as its not raining, this is the only jacket I see myself needing and using once the temperature drops again!

It's absolutely perfect!! I'm 5'10" 175 and ordered size M, fits like a glove. Made of high quality materials and it's classic Freenote style. The jacket is a bit stiff but as the description states, I'm sure it will become more flexible over time. The alpaca/wool mix isn't itching when wearing with a t-shirt. Love this bad boy!

Third jacket form Freenote Cloth. Super strong. Super warm. Quality of the details is very fine. An everyday wear which will last. Thanks !
