I wear 42 long, 204lbs, six feet tall and the fit of large is good. Not short like some, and the zipper seems substantial (usually the first thing to go wrong). Only time will tell if the fleece reverse will pill or not. The black color is less than dark black and the reverse is dark gray. When reversed the black looks like piping in the zipper and pocket zippers. The outer material is good. Weight is good. Fit is not restrictive, so good for golf. Had been wearing Columbia, disappointed with last order as lining material was flimsy and it was defective (lining was missed when sewing parts together). I could have sewn myself but would have shown. I didn't need another work/ painting vest so I returned it.
