LONDON FOGLondon Fog Men's Auburn Zip-Front Golf Jacket (Regular & Big-Tall Sizes)

London Fog is a quality brand, and it shows in this jacket. The material feels like soft felt. The jacket is lightweight.I normally wear size Medium or Large (because I like a loose fit). I got this in Large, and it's a loose fit. So you don't need to buy a size smaller or larger than you usually do; the measurement on this jacket is just right.I especially like the deep inner pockets. Also two zippered side pockets.The zippers are large but plastic, which is not ideal. Metal zippers last longer. In my experience, plastic zippers malfunction much sooner than do metal zippers.I got this jacket in three colors, including Camel. The Camel jacket appears darker than in the official online photo. The jacket plainly said Camel on the tag, so it's the right color. See my photo for what the color looks like to my camera. The photo itself looks a bit lighter than the actual jacket looks to my human eye.It's still a nice jacket.

The London Fog Auburn jacket is the perfect lightweight jacket. I bought the LARGE REGULAR in the IRON color.It is a beautiful rich gray color. The fit is perfect, I am 5 foot 8 and weigh200 Lbs. with a 35 in waist It is roomy in the shoulders and the cut of the jacket is reg.The rest of the details are as described buy manufacturer. Good quality and good value for the money.Will buy another in different color

London Fog sold these high-end golf jackets both under their own label and under the Stafford label for JCPenney, where you may rest assured that both are in fact the same jacket. Please be aware, however, that there are several VERSIONS of the same jacket being made available today.Okay, what I am about to offer to you next is a trifle confusing, but here goes.Some of the Auburn jackets feature the outer 'slash' style hand pockets being situated on the INSIDE of the zippered pockets, whereas in some of the other Auburn jackets, they are situated on the OUTSIDE of the zippered pockets. If you are using these pockets to store your gear, AND this feature is important to you, then skip the online shopping process entirely and try on the jacket in person at one of your local Carson, Macy or JCPenney stores.Additionally, the 'old' version of the Auburn jacket featured two inside pockets that were so darn small, that they were barely suitable to carry anything larger than an iPod or cell phone. The 'new' version of the Auburn jacket comes equipped with two inside pockets that are large enough to carry larger and more bulky items such as earmuffs, golf cap, or even airline tickets and passports.The London Fog Auburn jacket is a tad long in the sleeve - it is designed to be used as a golf jacket after all - BUT if wearing a high-end jacket with a longer sleeve length is an issue, go with the 'Weather-Proof' brand. These two jackets are virtually indistinguishable from each other, however the 'Weather-Proof' jacket comes with a knit cuff, which is consequently a tad shorter, whereas the London Fog jacket comes with a snap cuff, resulting in a fit that will naturally be a tad longer in the sleeve.Also please be aware that indoors, the London Fog Auburn jacket in dark 'Navy' appears almost black. It is not until the jacket is viewed in the direct sunlight that it appears to be dark navy, if that is an issue.The 'Weather-Proof' has the nicest tailoring of any mens' golf jacket. Millionaire attorneys wear them, but bear in mind that they always have caddies nearby just to lug stuff around for them.The London Fog is still a nice jacket, but it features the greatest number of pockets, both inside and out, of any high-end golf jacket available today, so if you are like me and have to carry your own stuff around, bear that in mind.

In my area it's only really cold a few days of the year. While I own several coats and jackets that keep me warm during those few times, they are too warm the rest of the time. I needed something light, something to keep off a chill while holding off the wind and the occasional light mist. Enter two great choices: The London Fog Auburn Jacket and the Weatherproof Classic Golf Jacket. Both jackets were available from Amazon at reduced prices so I bought both. The bottom line is I like both and I'm keeping both. Both are similar and both are winners. My advice is to buy based on color and cost because you can't really lose.The Weatherproof Classic Golf Jacket differs from the Auburn Jacket by having knit cuffs and bottom edge. The Auburn Jacket has elastic in the bottom edge and the cuffs snap closed. I have no preference either way. The outer fabric of both is microfiber polyester (whatever happened to poly/cotton twill, I wonder). Both feel like the same weight and look like they could have been cut from the same bolts of cloth except for the colors. The liners are a little different with the Weatherproof being slightly heavier but in no way bulky or thick. The Auburn has a lighter feeling fabric inside. Again, I have no preference either way. Fit-wise they are very much alike. The Weatherproof is a little longer in the body than the Auburn when the Auburn is bought in standard sizes. Personally, I probably should have gotten the tall size of the Auburn but reviews indicated the Auburns sleeves are a bit too long and tall sizes usually have even longer sleeves. I'm almost exactly six feet tall with a long torso so I can usually go either standard or tall without either seeming off. I ordered the Auburn in standard length and it's okay but just a tad short. However, I wouldn't want the sleeves to be any longer. The Weatherproof fits me perfectly in length and the sleeves are okay too--not as long as those on the Auburn. I ordered XXL in both jackets and I cannot detect any difference in the fit around the chest or waist. They're roomy enough in my case for wearing a heavy sweater if need be. I've worn them with thick sweatshirts but nothing heavier.I've worn both jackets in 45F weather but not in the rain. Both cut the wind well. I don't expect either to be waterproof like my Eddie Bauer rain parka. Probably fine for a light mist or a quick shower. What I find so great about these jackets is that they're comfortable over a wide range of temperatures. I can wear one while driving without having to deal with the bulk of a heavier coat and I can wear it indoors for extended periods without feeling overheated. Even on cold days, I usually only need a jacket for those times I'm outdoors between buildings or from the car to a building. I only need a really warm coat when I'm outside for more than a few minutes.Which to buy? Both are great. I have a tan London Fog Auburn and a light blue Weatherproof Classic Golf. Both colors will coordinate and match with other colors fine. The London Fog has more color choices here on Amazon so that might be a factor. My decision was made based on price. At the time I bought both jackets, the prices were at a low point and both jackets were bargains.EDIT 01/18/2019:I've worn both these jackets for a while now and I have to give the edge to the London Fog. That's based on a couple of things about the Weatherproof that wasn't evident at first. Mainly it has to do with the knit cuffs on the Weatherproof. In a very short time, they are beginning to pill on the right side of my jacket. I'm not sure this speaks well for the quality of the fabric for the longterm. Another thing I did not notice early on is that the cuffs on the Weatherproof do not match. The left cuff's knit is different from the right. This might explain the pilling of the right cuff. However, I admit I like the way the knit cuffs fit compared to the snap cuffs of the London Fog. On the London Fog, the cuffs feel either too tight or too loose, depending on which snap I use.

High quality manufacturing all around, quality zippers on front and both outside pockets, 3 inside pockets are very useful (2 large and one small with Velcro closure), & looks great. Price was right @ $46. It is light weight, so if you need something heavier, this is not for you.
