Customer Reviews Alpha Industries Slim Fit N-3B Jacket

Very well made parka. I had to exchange the large for a med...despite the measurements given at Alpha's own website I found the large to still be too loose and bulky. I'm 5 11 and 205lbs, athletic build, and for my taste the medium fit the bill perfectly.

Was excited to get this coat. Slimfit was a nice touch. Really fits well and seems warm. But production quality is a big issue. Multiple pulled and loose threads throughout the coat. There were areas on the hood were the stitching was all together absent. Not sure if it was just the coat I got or if this is how the quality is. The fur hood seems poor quality. Overall, I wish a little more TLC was put in the coat because as I said it seem to fit well but it seemed a bit cheap to me if I am being honest. I am returning the coat.

Seems fairly cheaply made and definitely like they were in the '70s. Arms too short for me, but I have 36 inch reach.

Hello. I bought it yesterday, and I received it today amazingly, even it was totally early for it. :) As soon as I opened a box, I noticed that it would be great and one of the best jackets I've ever seen so far. I ordered s size; I'm a 176cm, 75kg man. I'm totally satisfied with the size, design, and fit as well. Thanks for giving me a great jacket and shipping to me on time. Happy new year. :)

This jacket is the real deal. Very warm, nice details and slim fitting for such a big coat. I am 6 ft. 180 regularly take a medium but sized up to a large and it's perfect.

This coat is by far the best purchase I've made for outdoor wear. The coat it true to size and doesn't give that oversized look. The hood of the coat is nicely lined, and living in Chicago makes that a very nice feature. I have absolutely no complaints about this coat!

Just like another reviewer on here, I had to exchange the Large size for a Medium size. Every other review on many sites have said to order a size up, even the Alpha Industries web page says to order a size up, but I would advise to just order your regular size. I am about 5'10" and 175 lbs, the average body shape. I wear 32" pants, medium sized shirts, 40R suits, 15.5 dress shirts. If you are similar, then get the medium. Anyway, I really love this parka so far. The weather surprisingly shot back up into the 60s when I received the jacket, so I can't really speak of how well it deals with the cold winter yet.

After trying on the regular N-3B jacket and looking like the Michelin Man I decided to go with the Slim fit version. If you have a slim frame I would recommend going with the this version. It fits well in the chest and waist without being tight. So far this winter hasn't been incredibly cold but I've worn this jacket since December in New York City and I haven't been cold in it once. The fur lined hood is great for when it gets windy. Also as someone who doesn't always use/have an umbrella the shell will definitely not let a modest rainfall get you wet. Great jacket at a great value!
