How does a coach jacket fit compared with a windbreaker?

A coach jacket is cut shorter and boxier than most windbreakers, with a straight hem and snap front. This one measures about 26 inches across the chest in size M, so it fits loosely and layers easily.

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

No. It is an unlined shell with no hood or insulation, so it suits spring, fall and mild evenings. In cold weather you would wear it over a heavy sweater or choose an insulated jacket instead.

What are the measurements in size M?

About 26 inches from armpit to armpit, 22 inches from armpit to cuff, and 28 inches from collar to hem. Check these against a jacket you already own, since the cut is relaxed.

Can it be worn over a hoodie?

Yes. The roomy chest and straight hem leave space for a mid-layer. The snap front closes over a hoodie without strain.

What should I check on a used coach jacket?

Look at the snap closures, the cuffs and hem for fraying, and any marks on the shell. Ask about stains and repairs, since the fabric is usually thin and shows wear.
