I love this jacket; i hope i find a way to make it work! - Westcomb Chilko Sweater - Mens

This is the lightest, warmest, most well made "down sweater" you'll ever find. It's 900 fill down is well distributed, and amply stuffed to really hold in the heat. The outer fabric is tough enough (for my use anyway). So what's the hesitation? The cuffs on the sleeves are totally unique to what I've ever seen; They are basically an elastic cord, a fabric-bound rubber band. The issue is that they are tight; tighter than any jacket's cuffs I've seen (and I've tried a lot of jackets!). There is no adjustment; they either work or they don't. In my case, the small Chilko fit fine -- except for the cuffs! The medium's cuffs seem like they will stretch enough to work, but the jacket is a little bigger overall than I like. Oh, the problems caused by being a "smediam" -- just between sizes small and medium! Anyway, the jacket is too good to pass up. I'll keep trying the medium till I know if it works, and I sure hope it does. By the way, I'm 5'8", weigh 148, and have a 38" chest, and a 32" waist.
