I just bought a Woolrich Arctic parka for $500 new.
It has a 750 fill power, 90/10 down fill, Loro Piana wool/cashmere storm system fabric outer, and a coyote fur lining on the hat.
It's the Woolrich John rich and bros edition, which is apparently their highest line.
These are all good but the cons
-Too fitted: I wanted an overfitted silhouette so that I can layer inside as needed but it has a sort of a classic fit on me. I'd like a size larger, but unfortunately this was a one-off deal so I can't exchange
-Shorter than ideal: It doesn't go to my knee
-Medium weight: I have a lot of overcoats including a lightweight Moncler parka, so I wanted a heavy weight that wasn't a Canada goose. Unfortunately this is a "medium" weight according to the website, although it certainly feels heavier than anything I currently own.
Is Woolrich arctic parka a good product?
Any recs on keeping or returning? I have the option to return as long as I don't wear it and don't take off the tag.
