The coat is very warm but I'm a little disappointed with the embroidering. The basic reason I ordered from 11Bravos is showing my Army service; especially as an old RVN grunt. The crossed rifles (infantry insignias) are lost on the jacket because they are basically the same color of the jacket and too subdued. Maybe 11bravo could offer these embroideries in a variety of colored threads. Also; I would prefer the jacket have a removable hood.
