I bought my first one about 8 years ago and it still looks almost new, wears very well and has held up exceptionally well. New model is maybe even a little bit more soft. Only negative is that it no longer has the nice inside left breast zippered pocket that was great for holding phone, maps anything you wanted to keep handy and out of the weather.
The pit zips now zip from both sides and are a little shorter which actually makes it easier to slip into since your arm is less likely to exit through the zipper and into the sleeve when putting it on.
Still, it's a beautiful jacket that several have complimented on. I wear it often.
I'm 6'3" with a long upper body, (30" inseam) and an XL Tall fits perfectly.
