Genuine Dickies Men's Polar Lined Shirt Jacket

This is an excellent jacket for the price. I honestly can't say I would describe it as a shirt jacket because of the weight of it but it is great. The sizes are true and the fit is excellent. The outer shell of the jacket is a black twill with a fleece inner lining. The sleeves are secured by snaps. There is a hood that fits neatly around the head with a drawstring for tightly securing it. The jacket has seven snaps to close it. It has two chest pockets for convenience to hold pens, notepads, cell phones, etc. There are also two "hand warmer" side pockets. The bottom of this jacket is straight, no band around the bottom so no bunching up around the waist or hips. My husband works outdoors and runs a farm so practicality is crucial and this jacket certainly fits that. When you look at the jacket you would expect a much more expensive brand. Great value and great quality is what every one wants and this meets those expectations.

First of all the fit. I'm on the border between two sizes and don't like loose clothing. I picked the smaller size as I always do, and it worked perfect. I take a risk since if the item is cut undersized, I get squeezed. But no prob here. Walmart has a complete size chart for the item you can use in making that decision. The jacket has all snap closures. Those are strongly preferred for Western style work clothing where snaggy zippers cause trouble. Two upper pockets with snap closure flaps for smart phone or other items. My choice was in black, which is handy since it won't look grimy from work for longer. Even though the shirt jacket is reasonably light, the 100% polyester outer fabric offers protection from running into brush, etc. when at work. The fleece lining offers some extra warmth but not too much. Excess warmth can be a problem if you're working outside and already generating heat. I tested it, and the warming and wind breaking was somewhat better than another ordinary jacket I have. I did some checking, and Walmart seems to have the best price on the item at the time that I looked online.
