RJ-2 Waxed Canvas 20 Ounce Tobacco

For reference I am 5'9" and athletic build and I ordered a Large. I was looking for a winter jacket that I could wear over a t shirt or flannel that fit without belling or being too loose. This fits the bill. It is built to be tough, the 20 oz canvas is nice and heavy, the shearling lining is superb, and the details on the rivets, buttons, and heavy duty zipper are all excellent. I spent the dough because I wanted a "buy it once and wear it forever" jacket. This is it. I can't wait for this winter to see how the canvas breaks in and relaxes, and of course that patina develops. I have never owned anything close to this quality and craftsmanship. Very impressed with Freenote Cloth!

This is my new favorite Freenote Cloth Jacket. Incredible piece. While heavy, I am able to move with ease in it. I am a naked 6'2" 40" chest at 170 lb and like to layer a sweater under a hoodie. As such, I went for a XL. Empirically, I scored a 24.5" chest on the jacket, but it ~tappers down well, so the jacket does not oddly bell or fish tale in the back on me unzipped. While zipped up, it hugs the torso perfectly. Sleeves were half an inch short relative to the current chart, but are plenty long at 26.5". It would be nice to compare to the L's actual dimensions, but I don't need to, as the fit is so good with said layers I wear in the cold. When first evaluating it to keep it, it passed on all cylinders of form, function, feel against the skin, and yes smell too. To date this IS my winter coat. The canvas on it I received is substantial and darker than pictured. Well done.

Amazing coat. Built like a tank. Can't wait to put some wear on it and break it in. I wear a Large In the riders jacket and this jacket fit perfectly in Extra Large. Would recommend sizing up x1 from your normal Freenote size.

The RJ-2 is a beautiful coat. First quality in every respect. A note on sizing. I am an athletic build, size 42 Reg in a business suit. This coat in Large fits snugly. Not much room for layering. But it seems warm enough that not much layering is needed.
