I have it and really like it. It's relatively lightweight but still pretty warm. I just got it a couple of weeks ago and was worried I wouldn't get much use out of it before it gets too cold for it here in SE Michigan but it's lightweight enough that I can wear it under my M-51 style parka as a liner.

FWIW though, I definitely wouldn't pay full price for it as $500 seems like way too much for a fleece jacket (thanks to some credits and a sale code at Snake Oil Provisions, I got it for about ~35% off).
How's the sizing on it through the body? It looks pretty boxy.

It's pretty TTS in the body and a little boxy, but not terribly so for how I expect a fleece jacket to fit. The only retailer I can think of that had pictures online of somebody wearing it was Snake Oil Provisions (where I bought mine) but honestly, the models photos there look pretty goofy with it buttoned all the way to the top, which I don't think help to make it appear any less boxy.

I saw some skinny Asian guys wearing it on instagram and it looked kind of goofy. Like way too big and boxy through the body. Snake Oil Provisions guy (Ben?) wearing it doesn't look too boxy (not sure about that blue nail polish he's wearing tho).

I need the black suede western shirt to hit a sale! I almost bought it at retail, but I just couldn’t bring myself to pay $2,100 with tax for a shirt lol

My problem with the polish is that it's all chipped off. If you're gonna do it, you gotta maintain it! (Also it could better match the blue on the fleece but that's me being nitpicky.)
