Ciano Car Coat

My Car Coat finally arrived after 15 weeks, but it was held up a few weeks due to waiting for the buttons for my Brando jacket, which will get a separate review.  Anyway, first impressions of it in the 18oz canvas are favourable.  It has an earthy, raw, tough feel to it, like it was made by a human and will stand up to anything.  I have two G Chore Coats at 10 and 12oz, but these seem girly and refined in comparison.

I ordered it at 30" back length, down from the standard 31 or 32 of a slim Large, but it came in at 29".  As it's a long jacket anyway, I can live with that.  I've just heard from Ciano and he says that he measures back length from the top of the shoulder, not the base of the collar like leather jacket companies do.  That explains why this came in short, but it's not a problem to me, like I said.

I notice the sleeves are wide at the cuffs, so I buttoned them up one more notch.  Another thing I notice is that the shoulders are narrower than other jackets I have, but because I went large on this it's not a problem.  The open top pocket is deep enough for a big LG G3 phone, so a good size.

It's nicely finished inside with taped seams and 3 inner pockets.  I definitely recommend this jacket if you want something tough, usable and at a good price.
