I went and tried on a Canada Goose "Chateau" today, and it was really nice. I might have actually bit the bullet but they didn't have black in stock in my size.

The ll bean jacket looks like it could be alright but when I looked at the photos again it looks like it is kind of a boxy fit, not like the nice slim fit of the Canada Goose. Of course it's a fraction of the price so things like that are to be expected. Unfortunately, there's no stores around here for me to try one on.

Also, mcdj, that coat looks really nice!
