6Taking cues from an old flannel, this cold-weather staple marries the warmth of 850-fill down with the silhouette of a button-down for an insulated winter shirt that's warm enough on its own or perfect as layer.
First off, this jacket makes a great layer in the cold or is perfect as a stand-alone in mild to fairly cold weather: the fit is excellent, the color is exactly as advertised, it moves with you, and is functionally great. But... The cons leave a not-so-good taste in my mouth. I got this on a great sale right after the holidays, and I feel as though I got a second-hand product from an outlet store. After less than 3 weeks, the stitching is coming undone in 4-5 separate places, buttons are working themselves loose, and unbeknownst to me until after I wore it for the first time, there were several small holes near the back shoulders and on the chest (3 on the back & 1 on the chest). Initially, I was very excited to receive this product and threw it on right out of the bag, which is why I did not return it, but now I'm not so sure. I'm still gonna wear it out until it falls apart, loving the fit and the warmth that the surprisingly light layer provides, but I will think twice before purchasing again.

Bought this for my husband as a pre-Christmas gift and, amazingly, he loves it. I say amazingly because he hates heavy clothes and basically hates shopping. So this jacket gives him the right level of warmth, style and lightness.

This jacket fits pretty much perfectly (ordered a Small) - fitted..not tight, arms perhaps a touch long for a small. Very warm. Only complaint, top button at neck fastens into a loop that is difficult to operate without a mirror. Looks great on.

I am 5'10", and it is very difficult for me to find shirts with sleeves long enough for me, also everything fits too short. This is a perfect fit for me and it is the absolute finest shirt I have ever had on. I live in Montana, so this will be great for all seasons. The detail and construction are as expected, Sturdy and tough- while looking so delicate. I got it 2 weeks ago, and have worn it every day over a light t-shirt while the weather has gone from +45 to +5 and everywhere in between. I highly recommend this shirt wherever you live for whatever you do. Makes a great jacket, too!

I care deeply about style and functionality in my clothing, with an accent on style. The down sweater product is by far my favorite piece of clothing since the day that I first put it on, And, I get a lot of compliments on the way it looks. It keeps me warm outside in the winter and I forget to take it off when I come inside. I don't reach for a sweater anymore, I look for the down shirt...always. To clean it I just throw it in the washing machine (warm gentle and then light dryer) and it looks like new.
Plastic snaps never break, pockets where they need to be...inside and out, collar buttons up to form a turtleneck...brilliant.
Thank you, NAU. Please never stop making this product.
