Made poorly- beware and please read
I received this jacket in early December. When I first got it I loved how cute it looked and how well it fit. It was warm and looked great and I was very happy with it. I did notice that the details had been skimped on; for example, it had no inside pockets among a few other things but I was so happy it looked good I decided to keep it anyhow.
After wearing it for only 3 weeks, the snap ripped right out of the fabric. I am a seamstress so when I inspected it I could tell that it was because the snap was only held on by a thin piece of nylon which comprised the inner and outer shell of the jacket. (For those of you who do not sew, putting the snap in like this would be like trying to hang a shelf on a drywall wall without using any anchors or finding a stud. Obviously, it would rip right out.)
In addition during the time I owned it it developed 2 small holes in places where the seams put extra stress on the fabric.
I was so disappointed. London Fog is a good brand that is taking advantage of the fact that people respect their brand and is making products improperly and as cheaply as they can. This maximizes their profit while robbing the consumer of a quality product.
Lest you think it was just that one jacket, I did order a replacement and sadly all the same issues were there. That one went back as well.
My thoughts are that the 5-star reviews are from people who haven't owned this jacket for long. When I first got it, I may have rated it high too. It's only after owning it that the issues surface.
