Love the Buffalo jacket. I purchased this jacket a s bush jacket. I needed a warm and sturdy jacket for moving in the bush and working in thick areas where snagging on branches has ruined other jackets in the past. The thick outer layer of this jacket deflects just about anything you toss at it. The reinforced elbows look great against the burgundy but also protect from wear. The sleeves are a bit longer and don't get in the way. The only downside I would say is that the hood is detachable. I would have much preferred an integrated hood and collar to remove some of the weight and hardware from the neck area. Everyone needs a hood on a winter jacket (and this one is great) I just wish it was part of the jacket and not removable. High quality hardware and construction of the jacket. Great hip length fit. Very practical.
