This jacket is incredibly warm, from online searches it looks like size L has 6. 9oz fill weight which puts it higher than the down sweater (5. 3oz) and more in line with something like the Rab Electron Pro which is too technical for me. I loved this jacket but sadly had to return due to sleeve length. The pinion down jacket, size L, fits me great in the sleeves, but the Hometown seemed to be 1/2 to 3/4 inches shorter. I was not able to extend my arms without it riding up substantially. I will say that this jacket is WARM, even trying it on I could feel my body heat being retained. It broke my heart to return it but if you don't mind the sleeve length it is a home run. For reference I wear a 36" sleeve in dress shirts.
I just bought this to replace a respectable but aging Patagonia down jacket. I was looking for a higher neck to eliminate Drafts and the hood really came in useful immediately. This is superior on many levels: better down filling, better zips and (many) more useful pockets. I was also influenced by the colors available. The fit is great and slightly longer in the body I now feel shielded from the elements. Wore it this week to the Grand Canyon and bad weather rolled in quickly - I was perfectly well prepared.
Excellent fit and quality with a multitude of pockets, an adjustable hood, and water resistance. High-quality 800 fill down provides comfort against cold without adding weight. It is a very practical, stylish and comfortable light jacket.
The fit is a little large which is perfect for layering.
I love this jacket! Excellent details and construction. Unfortunately I am caught between sizes. I am 5'9" and have a muscular build with big shoulders and back. The Large is too small in the chest and shoulders but is the correct length. I ordered the XL and it fits GREAT in the shoulders and chest, but is way too long and billowy around the waist. I'm bummed out. I will be returning the jacket and wish that I didn't have to.
Amazing jacket. Warm as heck, durable, and cozy. My only complaint is that sometime in the last few years they changed the dimensions. The XS is now longer than it used to be, so if you’re short like I am (5’4”), the jacket now extends below your butt, making you look even shorter. I’ve taken to cinching the waist and curling it up. Otherwise a fantastic jacket.
Looking forward to colder weather here on the East Coast. Fit is great. I often struggle with arm length, this is great, and then often XL are too boxy. Again, not here. Quality of seams, zippers and pocket details are all “just right”. Cannot wait for winter to arrive, this will be an everyday wear for sure.
The jacket is everything I hoped it would be. Light, classy appearing, soft to the touch. I wish though that the sizing was more accurate. First having models who are 6’2” wearing mediums is highly misleading. I ordered a large based on the posted measurements and what I wear from Patagonia. I am 6’3” and 200 pounds. I have strong shoulders and chest and a thin waste so looking through the posted measurements a large seemed safest for me. When the jacket came sadly it was tight across the shoulder and in the arms and the arms were surprisingly short. I am surprised the arms were so short in particular as the slight tightness across the chest was only felt when layering a fleece under. I would much prefer to have longer arms be the default especially for a warm winter jacket. I have a Patagonia down sweater in large which fits much much better. I prefer the look and materials of the Stio but the fit seems not ideal. I may return and try an XL, but I worry it will be too billowy around the waste.
Love everything about this jacket except the fit. Im a large in most other premium brands but a large Hometown hoody is just way too short in the sleeves, yet the Shot 7 and Environ jackets fit me perfectly in sleeve length. Sizing seems to be inconsistent with the Hometown.
This is my favorite jacket - when the temperature drops into the 20s, I only need a long sleeve thermal shirt with this and it keeps me warm for hours. Really takes away the huge need to later so much. Fits well and looks awesome. . . 10/10.
