I've seen a lot of these off brand coats from Asia, but a bit skeptical of the quality and fit. But at $69 and Amazon’s return policy, I figured why not? I am a pretty lean 5 ft 6, 145 lbs so I took a chance on the medium, bearing in mind the skewed sizing of these straight from Asia off brands. After being half prepared to be returning it immediately upon opening, I have to say was pleasantly surprised on all fronts. As I write this, I’ve had it less than a day, but I had a chance to wear it outside in windy 30 degree weather and it felt quite warm and comfortable layered with my fleece. It seemed to block the wind fairly well too. I am interested in seeing how it does in weather in the teens, but I suspect it should keep me warm.
It fits extremely well, and nicely form fitting but not too tight, even wearing a fleece jacket underneath. It is a little longer than I expected, but I realized this slightly longer style is called a "fishtail" style parka, which seem big in Asian and European streetwear. The good thing is unlike some lined insulated jackets, it is not bulky. I wanted to get a somewhat technical jacket, that did not scream Canadian Goose knockoff. As soon as you remove the fur hood ring, it just looks like a standard outdoor parka. I was concerned from the picture that the “leatherette” part on the front would stick out like a shiny sore thumb, but it blends in quite nicely with the black fabric of the jacket, and is another cool feature distinguishing it from looking like a Canadian Goose knockoff. This leatherette piece also serves a practical function as a “grip” to help you rip open the Velcro closures over the zippers. Also the Velcro closures are the new type (3M I think) without the “furry” fabric which is a nice touch. Another reviewer pointed out the “Engrish” spelling of “Meiropolis” on the leatherette part, but the lettering is hardly noticeable and a quirk I kind of like. But most of all, the construction seems as high quality as North Face and Columbia outdoor wear I own. Best of all it looks like a pretty cool jacket, that doesn’t look like every other conformist wearing their Canadian Goose. (did I mention that earlier? ha)
Another distinguishing feature is that it has accents of red on the draw strings and zippers. It is not as festooned with technical features such as pockets, storage and zippers everywhere, as some jackets, but it has 2 sets of hand pockets in from, the bottom of which are deep enough to store gloves, phone, etc. One odd quirk is it has a vertical chest zipper for a wallet or phone that unzips to no pocket. I also would have liked to seen a waist draw string like you find on most long parkas, but the jacket seems form fitting enough that I don’t think this should be an issue. Unlike people who wrote about sleeves being a bit long, I could see how they are a tad long, but I honestly would not have noticed this if not for the reviews.
Again I’ve had it less than a day, but I’m so pleased with it, I wanted to write a review right away. If things change, I will update this. For the price, I’d highly recommend it! Five stars, probably one of those stars comes from being so pleasantly surprised by this jacket!

It’s awesome quality
Great quality for the price! I’m a plus size chick and I bought a 4xl because I thought I needed that big yeah I probably could have gotten a 3xl because it’s too long in the arms and the hood is huge! I recommend you buy true to size. It’s so warm I mean I can’t believe I got such a great coat for the price! It would be awesome for skiing.

The jacket fits great on the sleeves if you have longer arms than the posted measurements you may have to go up one size. I like padded jacket lining over the fleece and this one is excellent!
The fur hood: I took it off as it makes kind of hard to see but it's fancy and it's really warm! The pull tabs on the zippers are removable if you don't like them. The hood cords have a red metal tips, very durable.
The pocket flaps are decorative and cover the top of the zipper pockets.
I would love to have is draw cords for the bottom and middle section, and a way to fasten the hood to the collar without pulling the cord right but it's not enough to minus any stars.
I would love to see more leather details like elbow pads, and reflective details but those can be added custom as the jacket is a smooth blank canvas! I may update later if possible thanks for reading
