The Ritual Hooded Flannel Jacket

Good: I love the color. Real men wear pink. I like the texture of the flannel exterior, and the finish seems excellent overall. The interior quilting, the thing that attracted me to this jacket, looks well done. I'm not too worried about the fact that it's polyester or whatever, I work a desk job. It's fine for my needs. People who complain about these not being wool are insane, a wool shirt starts at like $200. Sleeves are just the right length for me, and I love how long the jacket is.

Not so good: Before purchasing I reviewed their sizing graph, and chose 4x. It said 5'11" to 6'3" and 340-390lbs. I simply don't see how that could possibly be correct. I'm 327lbs, 5'10". If I'm standing straight, it fits well zipped and buttoned up. If I stand with my shoulders back, the buttons pull a bit. If I sit, even with the zipper zipped all the way, the buttons at my belly pop open. There's not a world in which I can see this fitting someone who weighs 390lbs. If I was any fatter, I would not be able to wear this thing. Also, the chest pocket just won't lay flat. It was curled up when i pulled it out of the back and has proceeded to curl up more since. Not sure if that's something I can fix. With this thing being plastic, I'm not sure if I can iron it or not, I think I might just be stuck with a curly pocket.

I considered exchanging it, but a 5x would probably be too long in the arms for me. I'm hopeful I'll be able to slim down some and get it to fit a bit more comfortably when…

I'm not even a flannel guy but this jacket is amazing. I was surprised how great it fit right out of the bag. Not stiff at all. I was expecting a lightweight jacket with no filler but this is definitely worth every penny. Add in the design of one of my favorite albums from high school and this is 10 out of 10.
