Dickies mens Insulated Eisenhower Front-zip Jacket

The design is extremely beautiful, especially the in the color brown. The versatility of this jacket can be found at both work and casual hangouts. The only issue is that the sleeve length for me is a tad bit short. I do have long arms, which could explain this issue, but overall, the jacket is nice. Highly recommended. I will send this back and get a tall.

Perfect fit, good quality and price

Very nice and durable as expected

I now own 3 of this jacket in different colors. They are almost perfect for me. They are warm (although not overly so). When it gets down below 20° and a bit windy then I have my winter parka with hood. If you get the right size they fit well and are not sloppy. Only problem I've had with this jacket is within a month of receiving it one of the buttons on the side near the waist fell off and was lost. Both of the other two did the same thing although I don't know in what time frame. More care could be used in attaching these buttons. This problem is mildly irritating but will not stop me from buying another. I'll just see that the buttons are reinforced before I wear it.

Sizing is an issue. I am 6'-1", 230 lb., 36/37" sleeves, 17-1/2" neck and broad shoulders. I usually take an XL Tall, which is also what the sizing chart recommended. This is supposed to be an Eisenhower jacket, which only extends to the waist, but on me it extends 5" below the belt. Also the sleeves are very long, extending 3" beyond my wrist. The body and shoulders fit relatively well and only slightly large. On me it fits like a regular jacket, not a shorter Eisenhower type. I roll the sleeves back, creating cuffs, which look OK. Worn over a chamois shirt the body fit is perfect. Over a light shirt, a bit large. It may shrink a little when washed so it may work itself out. I should have ordered an XL Regular, which would shorten the length and sleeves a bit. If I had dropped down to a Large Regular it might have improved the sleeve and length issue even more but may have been a bit tight in the body and shoulders. Overall, a well made jacket and a good value. I will keep it. Be careful with sizing though, it runs a bit large and very long.

Best kind of work jacket.

So this is my 3rd Dickies jacket in this style. I am used to the fit, and knew what to expect when ordering, so there were no surprises here. This is the insulated version, so it is a little warmer than the cheaper non insulated version. Do yourself a favor and choose this one over the non insulated version. The non insulated jacket is no warmer than a thin flannel shirt. This one actually holds in some heat. This is by no means a heavy jacket, however. Im a skinny guy, so I get cold in the 60s and 70s. This jacket provides enough warmth for me down to the 40s. But in the 60s, if I'm working/moving around, it actually gets a bit hot. So, yes it is a "light" jacket, but not so light that it wont do any good in the 40s and 50s. Also it's not too heavy (in my opinion) for temperatures in the 60s. The lining is like a polyester type, very smooth and feels good on the arms. I prefer this to cotton or wool type linings. This is only preference, but just thought you should know, in case you prefer the more cotton type lining. So the fitment is probably what you are most curious about. This style of jacket is short and meant to be more fitted than other jackets. The sleeves come to your wrist (with average arm length). The bottom of the jacket stops at the waist, maybe slightly above depending on your torso length. If you're wearing the correct size jacket, when you move, this jacket may feel "too small" for you. Meaning the sleeves will come above your wrists when stretching your arms, or the bottom will rise above your waist line. You will feel it slightly constricting shoulder movement. If this is what you want, then order the correct size. If you prefer a little more breathing/movement room, then order the next size UP. Just for reference, I'm 5'11" 145 pounds, fairly skinny. I wear a small in most jackets, small-medium t-shirts, small work shirts/uniform shirts. But I don't like baggy shirts and jackets. So a small in this Dickies jacket is perfect for me. If you are about the size of me, and prefer more fitted shirts and jackets, then the small should be good for you. If you like them more baggy, then go with the medium. This theory should work across the spectrum in all the sizes. If you like fitted coats, then get the size you would normally get. If you like them more loose and baggy, then get the next size up. All in all this is a great buy on a very durable jacket. I work on cars for a living so this jacket gets daily use and abuse throughout the fall and winter. Even with all the abuse, I still get a few years out of these jackets. That's not to say they are worn out after a few years, they just get so stained and faded, it's time to get a new one. But at this price point, you could get a couple at a time, and wear them forever. Oh an one more thing. If you're looking at other work jackets on Amazon, you may notice many of them say the proportions are all screwed up...Like oversized arms or torso areas. Weird proportions that make you like Popeye or something. The Dickies jacket IS NOT like that. If you get the correct size, you will not look weird like you may with other brand jackets.

I bought 3 of these jackets, and 2 of them were perfect. The 3 one is really odd. Lee me start with the positive. The Navy blue one and the Charcaol one both fit me perfectly. I am the epitome of average in size. I'm 165 lbs, 5'10", I wear size 38 jacket, my pants are 32 by 32, and my shoe size is 10.5. Just about exerything else clothing-wise that I wear is a medium. It's actualy a challenge to buy off the rack because my size is often out of stock. My first purchase at the end of 2024 was Navy blue. This jacket had the classic Dickies weather resistant outer material that I have loved for the last 30 years. Eisenhower cut and slightly exaggerated shoulders. Like I said, classic Dickies fit. Additionally, the new line of these jackets actually has a more substantial lining. It is perfect for those nights that require a little bit more insulation against a cold wind. Overall this jacket exceeded my expectations. The second one I purchased a couple weeks later was the khaki one. This one was different. Everything seemed to fit like the first one except for the sleeves. This jacket has cuffs that are twice as long. One other reviewer said that the sleeves were made for an orangutan. For this particlur jacket I would agree. The cuff ends just past the knuckles on my hand. This is very different from the other two jackets. It looks like the sleeves from a size large stitched on to a medium. The rest of the fit was fine. Same waist cut and shoulders. Only a small percentage of the jacket doesn't fit, giving it an overall odd look. I noticed in the Dickies tag area, at the neck, had an additional tag labeled ICONS. Maybe it's a different line of Dickies jacket? I don't know. But it's weird nonetheless. I'll have to take the cuffs apart, and do some major alterations to make it look normal. Kind of a bummer. The third jacket I purchased was the charcoal one and it is exactly like the first. Same positive review. Perfect, no complaints. Also no ICONS label. I've already washed the beige jacket, so I can't return it. My recommendation to anyone purchasing these jackets is to keep the tags on and try it out. If it doesn't fit right, send it back. You might have to go through a couple colors before you find one that fits (I can vouch for charcaol and navy). They don't shrink when you wash them, so don't count on that making it fit any better. If I can't alter the cuffs on the beige one, I may end up just donating it to a thrift store. At an average of $60 per jacket, that's a painful outcome.
