Boatyard Jacket - 25th Anniversary Edition

Excellent PNW Jacket

Stops wind, water resistant, and construction is solid. I am between a L and XL, and support advised XL and it fits perfectly. It is a boxier fit, which makes it perfect to layer a hoodie or sweater underneath if cold enough. The Velcro tabs on the side make it easy to shrink the waist if you don’t have a layer underneath. It sits like an inch and a half lower than a traditional trucker jacket, which I actually prefer, don’t have it riding up much if you raise your arms etc. There is just a bit of insulation in the chest and back, which I think is just the perfect amount for western PNW. Very cozy cotton lining on the inside, and the sleeves are rayon lined not cheap polyester which is a much appreciated detailed that most manufacturers skimp out on.

Great Fit. Built To Last.

I *almost* want to skip Summer and get straight to November to try it out. I think I will visit my friend in Vermont instead. Great fit and finish.

Boatyards and Everywhere Else

Had this jacket now for several weeks and I have had the opportunity to wear it in some less than ideal weather. Today and tomorrow should give it a pretty good test. Very low temps and a snowstorm on the way later tonight. The fabric has been as good as the Outlaw Gunner Jacket as far as keeping me dry in rain and snow. I appreciate the generous cut and accurate sizing, this one is a XXXL, that allows layering. Pictured this morning with the Bayman's Flannel and the Maine Lobstermen's sweater, I was plenty warm while the temps were around 5 deg F before sunrise. If you need an all purpose jacket that will have your back, look no further. As with every purchase I have made with AR, the quality and customer service has is always top notch!
