The Mackinaw Coat

I have worn the same Mackinac coat for 10 years and I just love it. I put the coat on layaway at a local shop while I picked up extra shifts so to pay for it( I was 18 at the time). Since then It has been my primary winter coat including winter camping and rabbit hunting. It has seen a lot of miles and hard use but still looks nearly new, except most of the buttons have fallen off in just the last two years. It works great as a stand alone in mild to moderate winter and is great for layering in extreme conditions(proper layering is the only way to go in extremes not one coat to rule them all). The neck is rather open so a scarf is necessary on windy days but the thick fabric holds out the wind in all other areas. The only complaint I ever had was the sleeves were too short but I got over it. I just bought a new one in red plaid, size large tall, and the sleeves are a good length and dang does it look good.

Great value for the money. Several years ago I notices a gentleman wearing this coat and I commented on his nice coat. He asked if I was familiar with Stormy Kromer, I said, yes, I have a Stormy Kromer shirt jacket from the Ruffed Grouse Society. I finally ordered this coat in green. It is very well made, (in the USA) and a great addition to my wardrobe. The high collar is effective and stylish. Buy this coat, you will not be disappointed!

Excellent jacket good for cool days and nights. It doesn't have a lining but it sure is soft and the thickness is perfect for those days or nights that are chilly and you're wearing a t-shirt or shirt. Need it warmer, get a sweater on and it will layer nicely. The photo doesn't give the colors justice. They are vibrant and wonderfully vintage like. Woolrich used to make and sell a coat like this back in the '50's and '60's but discontinued it. It has a wonderful look and feel to it. Ward Cleaver would have loved the damned thing.

I purchased my Mackinaw jacket back when it came in men’s jacket sizes (mine is a 44 and olive) and would estimate that it is 7 years old. I have received countless (guessing 100) compliments on it over the years and wear it daily throughout the winter season. Last week I was told that I looked dapper in it! I've always washed in the washing machine with Woolite on the 15 minute hand wash cycle and air dried on a hanger. The colors haven't ever faded. Over the years I've had to re-sew a few buttons on, but that's expected. I can guarantee you that the day this jacket needs to be retired, I will be ordering another Mackinaw from Stormy Kromer. Amazing quality and customer service! Support products made in the USA!

a coat of this quality and price should have some kind of lining ~~ We will pass your suggestion on to our design team. Thank you! SK ~~

Coat runs very large, a whole size off. Either size correctly or offer a small. Could definitely use a lining mainly in the sleeves. Lower side pockets are poorly positioned to put your hands in, they are too far back. Could be a great jacket... needs some changes. ~~Thank you for your honest review and suggestions. Our coat is generously cut - easier to layer underneath. We will get this to our design team to review. SK ~~

Love my new Mackinaw Coat! The fit is perfect with XXLT and I have been getting many compliments. It is also very warm and keeps the wind away. Very happy purchase.

I received the mackinaw coat Jan. 14, 2022, and I have been wearing it out for walks in temperatures ranging from 12 to 25 degrees F. With under layers of flannel shirt and sweater, I felt pretty comfortable. The coat is well made with tightly sewn seams and buttons. The 26 oz wool is very nice and overall quality is very good. My only recommendations would be to add a liner and hood, but other than that, I'm very satisfied with the coat. I'm 6 ft , 190 lbs and I ordered a large that fits great!

My coat is red, purchased at the Peninsula Shop in Berkley, MI
