Snatch it. Will never beat the price. SA makes a nice jacket. The one I own feels extremely high quality. Nice hardware. Nice fabric. Nice construction. Sizing is a tad big like all SA (imo). edit; i made a killing this morning at the SA online sample sale. Some great deals to be had. I have to just block that site until the sale is over on Thursday. But got some great work clothing...great prices..free shipping. jeah.

you can't tuck with those boots, but by all accounts they're very well made. I'm thinking about getting a pair too.

i don't really see what's so great about that jacket. How much of a hit are you taking?

$128, really nothing after I sell my CDG play shirt.

It's just exactly what I've been looking for, a warmer mountain parka looking jacket.

They're okay... don't think they're that amazing though. I honestly can't see sweats as anything more than something to lounge around in, so I'm biased, though.

Haha, good work - you'll be glad you did. It'll be quality. When I got a similar jacket from SA (which I paid almost retail for
plain.gif
) I was seriously impressed by it, right out of the box, at first touch. After all the crappy zipper talk in the W+H thread, I appreciate the hard wear on these SA house branded jackets a lot (i.e. frickin awesome zipper). AND a 25% off coupon in addition to the sale. Yaaa, you did good.
