LONDON FOG Men's Auburn Zip-Front Golf Jacket (Regular & Big-Tall Sizes)

In my area it's only really cold a few days of the year. While I own several coats and jackets that keep me warm during those few times, they are too warm the rest of the time. I needed something light, something to keep off a chill while holding off the wind and the occasional light mist. Enter two great choices: The London Fog Auburn Jacket and the Weatherproof Classic Golf Jacket. Both jackets were available from Amazon at reduced prices so I bought both. The bottom line is I like both and I'm keeping both. Both are similar and both are winners. My advice is to buy based on color and cost because you can't really lose. The Weatherproof Classic Golf Jacket differs from the Auburn Jacket by having knit cuffs and bottom edge. The Auburn Jacket has elastic in the bottom edge and the cuffs snap closed. I have no preference either way. The outer fabric of both is microfiber polyester (whatever happened to poly/cotton twill, I wonder). Both feel like the same weight and look like they could have been cut from the same bolts of cloth except for the colors. The liners are a little different with the Weatherproof being slightly heavier but in no way bulky or thick. The Auburn has a lighter feeling fabric inside. Again, I have no preference either way. Fit-wise they are very much alike. The Weatherproof is a little longer in the body than the Auburn when the Auburn is bought in standard sizes. Personally, I probably should have gotten the tall size of the Auburn but reviews indicated the Auburns sleeves are a bit too long and tall sizes usually have even longer sleeves. I'm almost exactly six feet tall with a long torso so I can usually go either standard or tall without either seeming off. I ordered the Auburn in standard length and it's okay but just a tad short. However, I wouldn't want the sleeves to be any longer. The Weatherproof fits me perfectly in length and the sleeves are okay too--not as long as those on the Auburn. I ordered XXL in both jackets and I cannot detect any difference in the fit around the chest or waist. They're roomy enough in my case for wearing a heavy sweater if need be. I've worn them with thick sweatshirts but nothing heavier. I've worn both jackets in 45F weather but not in the rain. Both cut the wind well. I don't expect either to be waterproof like my Eddie Bauer rain parka. Probably fine for a light mist or a quick shower. What I find so great about these jackets is that they're comfortable over a wide range of temperatures. I can wear one while driving without having to deal with the bulk of a heavier coat and I can wear it indoors for extended periods without feeling overheated. Even on cold days, I usually only need a jacket for those times I'm outdoors between buildings or from the car to a building. I only need a really warm coat when I'm outside for more than a few minutes. Which to buy? Both are great. I have a tan London Fog Auburn and a light blue Weatherproof Classic Golf. Both colors will coordinate and match with other colors fine. The London Fog has more color choices here on Amazon so that might be a factor. My decision was made based on price. At the time I bought both jackets, the prices were at a low point and both jackets were bargains. EDIT 01/18/2019: I've worn both these jackets for a while now and I have to give the edge to the London Fog. That's based on a couple of things about the Weatherproof that wasn't evident at first. Mainly it has to do with the knit cuffs on the Weatherproof. In a very short time, they are beginning to pill on the right side of my jacket. I'm not sure this speaks well for the quality of the fabric for the longterm. Another thing I did not notice early on is that the cuffs on the Weatherproof do not match. The left cuff's knit is different from the right. This might explain the pilling of the right cuff. However, I admit I like the way the knit cuffs fit compared to the snap cuffs of the London Fog. On the London Fog, the cuffs feel either too tight or too loose, depending on which snap I use.

Great jacket I got a XXL and fits perfectly. I'm 5'9" 235 husky/stocky and it fits and looks great. Very happy with the purchase, great price also.

The brand is famous for a reason. This jacket fits very nicely. I am a big guy and the proportion is still good and the sleeves are not too long, as often happens in larger sizes. Very nice. In addition, there are multiple useful and secure pockets inside the jacket. The outside pockets are open for your hand, but also have a secondary hidden zip pockets as well. Price was reasonable.

Excellent price. A bit lighter in color than expected but that was ok. Interesting texture: the outside jacket has a suede-like appearance but it's still a good look. The jacket is light-weight and has handy pockets: 2 zippered ones on the outside of the jacket and 2 inside Velcro-secured pockets. The fit is inconsistent: a little too flowing thru the shoulders and chest but less flexible In the waist than I anticipated. That lack of flexibility may come from the combination of unstretched and corrugated stretch fabric at the bottom of the jacket. I would have preferred a totally unstretched bottom to the jacket. From reviewing the listing photo, I thought that all of the jacket bottom would be unstretched. The sleeves are long which is fine for me at 35" but might be too long for some men. Nonetheless, an excellent value at $50. Not sure that I would get this particular jacket again, but the price is right and I have always found London Fog products to be high-quality and durable.

This is a real good lightweight jacket, I like the material as well as the zippered and non zippered outer pockets, the inner breast pockets (this jacket has an overall comfortable look and feel).

Good quality. Attractive jacket. Fits great!

This is my Ferrari jacket covered in Ferrari patches A perfect red and comfortable to boot. Well made & good value

This was a bad purchase, the jacket is very short and bulky in the stomach.

Great lightweight jacket

Very nice jacket and sizing was correct. I ordered a XXL and it fits perfectly. Classic jacket style made with good material that should wear well.

Kurtka dla mnie za duża i szeroka. Kołnierz zaokrąglony jak z innej epoki.

More like a rain jacket with plush outer surface. Not like a soft shell. Not really as I thought what I was buying

XXL fits great, the fabric is nice and light for summer.
