Overall, this was exactly what I was looking for. Jacket length is just below my knees and is very comfortable. The material is warm enough for the near freezing weather that we get, but I can't speak much for below freezing since it doesn't get below freezing much here. The material is sturdy, but not scratchy like some wool blends tend to be. One complaint was that an inner arm seam began to come un-sewn. Not too hard to repair that yourself though. I've had it for a couple months now, and will update the review if something changes. Overall, the positives of the jacket outweigh the one stitching error so far, so it still gets five stars from me.
