I posted this on another thread but here it is again:
I purchased the Eddie Bauer jacket. The blue is darker than it appears in the pictures and the logo on the chest is barely noticeable. The material is on the thicker side, so the collar stands up with no problem, but it's still soft. It kind of feels like a lightly waxed cotton. There are two strips of elastic waist (about 2.5 inches long) on either side of the jacket, but they are barely noticeable and can be covered up with "waist tabs" by a tailor. Overall, very happy with the purchase. Three cons: logo on the chest, the lining is patterned, but it is dark so you can barely see it and the "action back" is vented, but this really doesn't bother me and again is barely noticeable if you're not looking for it. One note: this is a U.S. company so a "large" is really an XL; the arms are very long. So size down.
I bought a fantastic Harrington at Club Monaco a few years back; they have it again with two main differences. Mine was navy and this is black, also it has a storm flap across the shoulders. I will say that the quality is great but what was even better was getting it for less than half price...
