I really liked the jacket, but in the end had to send it back. Zipper on the arm pocket was nearly unusable and the main zipper not much better. But the clincher was that the quilting inside around the armholes was coming apart. I have *never* had this happen on a new jacket. Not sure if mine was just a fluke or if it's characteristic of Rothco. (did see a couple reviews of their MA1 where the pocket snaps were coming off, so maybe it is too common for their jackets)
Update 12-15-2016: Again got the urge for a CWU-45 jacket & since Rothco has about the best price around, I decided to give them another chance. Unfortunately, same result. Checked the jacket before even trying it on and found about 3/4" rip in the left armpit (or it was never stitched). Since this happened twice last time I tried their -45P, I have to conclude that the factory they use for these has very bad quality control. (I had a couple other jackets -an MA-1 & a taslan '3 season type'- that turned out to be Rothco, but they seemed to be fine and lasted me a couple of years+. So maybe it's just their supplier for the -45P that is questionable.) In any case, when it comes to Rothco, I would advise to check whatever you buy very carefully for defects.
I tried this on As soon as I received it and it was a lot more roomier than I expected. It fits well with room , no complaint there. I checked all zippers etc... All working fine. It is very warm also, just wearing it around my house I had to take it off because it was not very cooled outside, So I'm guessing it will keep me warm it the low Degree's I am Satisfied.
