Bought this coat for my 16 year old son. I think the hood makes this classic stlye jacket a little more "Youthful". But it also looks nice on my 50 something husband. The hood and the bib also can be zipped off! A little more dressy maybe? My son wanted a pea coat, but the majority we tried were all cut too narrow in the body and shoulders, and going up in size made the sleeves too long. This Jackets design is made for the bigger  guy, Look at the back of the Jacket where it has the the placket sewn down each side,allowing for a better more generous fit than most other styles. My son is 6'2 about 200lbs we bought the XL, fit him great, Enough room for for a thermal, Flannel or light sweater. He says its warm and he likes the length , it covers the rump area a bit too. The Charcol color is a nice and dark ,but I think it is better than Black because it does not tend to show lint and fuzzies so bad. Decent price at 80 bucks for a well made garment, Also it has an inside Zip Pocket for the Phone or Ipod! Nice.
