JT15 Dickies Mens Lined Eisenhower Jacket

Okay. Lots of exaggerations in the reviews posted here.....or a bunch of weird abnormal arm and torso length folks?It's a service type jacket. So it's gonna be short in length. This is the style. The sleeves are longer than usual compared to the length of the jacket. Not dramatically so....but a tad.I'm 5'10" 165lbs. Thinner but not mr. Salty. I got the large size. In pre washed condition....the sleeves hang with my arms down to the topside of the middle of my hands. Arms outstretched the sleeves pull back above my wrists. So not all that bad compared to every other large size jacket I've owned. The sleeves are baggy a bit but not dramatically so. I could fit a hoodie or fleece jacket underneath without being tight or weird.The length is about 1.5 to 2 inches below my belt line. So it's short by design. ...but not abnormal.It is lined but it is very thin and light. I wouldn't expect it to keep me warm in below 50 degree weather by itself.The material is stiff...Also by design for this type of jacket. I expect it will soften up after awhile but not a couple of machine washings.Fit and finish is not bad for the 30+ buck price range. Overall if I had trusted the bulk of the reviewers here...I wouldn't have bought it. Glad I was willing to risk my 30+ bucks. Way too many massive exaggerations and way too many who didn't understand the type of jacket that it is.So if you like a service or work type shorter jacket and want one lighter but with some lining...This one is pretty darn good for the cost. I should mention look at the pics of the jacket on the guy. If you are normal shaped like him and like the way it looks on him and don't have abnormal gorilla arms lengths and freaky torso lengths etc.....you should be happy with it.

5'11", 185lbs. Size large fits just fine. Hope this helps someone with questions about the sizes.

I love this jacket, but the sizing is seriously out. I ordered the navy blue in a large (my usual sizing) and the jacket that came was freaking huge! After a prompt return and exchange I now have the medium and the jacket is now spot on.A few things to note: the bottom of the jacket does sit quite high on the hips. The zip is not great as it keeps sticking but you can rub a wax candle along the zips teeth and this helps hugely in making the zip move more freely. I would suggest the coat is more an autumn and spring coat one, though it is lined I can see the jacket not coping with extremely cold weather. But all of that aside though I love it.

I added 3 pictures so the bigger guys could use as a reference I'm in the black and red hat red shoes. I'm 5 11" 260 lbs I ordered a XXL regular jacket. In the pictures the jacket might seem a little short but it's just my t-shirt it's a little long I rolled up my t-shirt and one of the pictures you can barely see my belt loop.The jackets it's exactly where I wanted it to sit around my waist just a little bit below my belt. If you look the sleeves are a little bit too long but it's no big deal. All in all I really like the jackets

The Dickies Men's Insulated Eisenhower Jacket is a very nice jacket.I purchased this for myself, and use it while traveling to cooler climates abroad.The jacket has a very crisp look, and keeps me pretty warm. I have worn this in the cooler 40-degree weather, but I don't recommend this in temperatures below 40 because the collar is low, and you may need more insulation for your neck.The only downside to this jacket is it is a bit larger than expected for my size, the cut is not very slimming nor has a fitted look. It has more of a slightly oversized American square cut, kind of like those you see on truckers. Even so, you can comfortably wear a sweater beneath it and not feel stuffed into the jacket.Because of the sizing, the cut, and the very prominent Dickies logo, you might look very "American," if that is a security concern while traveling abroad. I've been in some countries where this is an issue, and I choose not to take this particular jacket when travelling to those areas.While the jacket packs well, because of the fabric, it is a bit heavier than the lighter down packable jackets being sold today.

This is a great jacket at a really good price but it’s let down by the zip. Although it appears heavyweight it’s badly made and after just a week or twos use it’s doing that thing where you zip up but the teeth don’t engage. I’ve tweaked the zip myself and got it to work but I’m considering if I’d be better returning it. It’s a shame because it really is a good product.

The jacket fits great... Except for the sleeves! I’m 5’8 140 lbs male, ordered size small. Jacket fits me perfect in chest, shoulders and length, goes just below my belt for nice fitted look, but for whatever reason the sleeves are literally almost at my fingertips. Gonna have to get tailored, or just deal with it, haven’t decided yet but c’mon Dickies, sleeve length should change with sizes, no way a person with arms long enough to fit in the length of these sleeves would fit the rest of the size small measurements.
