A spectacular jacket -- Brown's Beach was a famous, old Massachusetts product that went defunct a long while ago. A few very high quality Japanese companies licensed and revitalized the name - following original specifications meticulously. This weave was intended to keep outdoorsmen warm with its then forward-thinking weave: recycled thick yarn and cotton. The results are apparent. The main thing to know is this is a slim design. These retail for around 500, but it's in perfect shape so you're getting a serious steal. Brown's Beach, man. If you know, you know.
