I actually bought it off Kijiji, I am surprised nobody here picked up on it/found it considering the person originally listed it I think beginning of January.
Original price is 750 + tax at Uncle Otis. I got it for $675. Person bought it end of September 2011, only worn it a few times, came with all tags, and original receipt, Carrying bag and Jacket. Jacket was practically in brand new condition based on my inspection.
The jacket is XS size, and compared to my XS Yuki, its definitely not as fitted, but not loose either, If I wanted to layer up a bit it would be fine, but a thick sweat shirt I dunno, they it may be too constricting for my preference. But the Uncle Otis collaboration is modern fit, compared to the regular constable which is regular fit, so the profile is slimmer overall. I'd say the XS fit similar to your small Yuki. So for me it's pretty perfect, since I wanted something slightly longer and a bit looser than my Tweed.
The details UO took when designing this jacket is superb, just top notch! Even compared to a Chateau or a regular Constable: From the pocket design, hood, gun metal zippers, removable fur on hood and wire attached underneath for shaping, too many to list etc....totally worth the price difference
Even though its the same 625 fill, I definitely would argue and agree with the other members here recently and say compared to my Tweed chilliwack, I'd trust the Chilly in colder weather by a few notches, but not by much.
I don't recall how a Chateau fit for me in comparison, but I will try one on next time I goto Le Baron/Sail.
I called UO today and they said next season they may come out with another collaboration with CG with the constable, so maybe you should wait until next season.
I have a feeling this jacket will get more mileage than my Tweed, just because of the versatility of it.
Always a tough decision which to choose from...Harris Tweed or UO Constable, haha
Wow, got it at a great price. Always wanted that jacket but they sold out of my size before I could grab one Anywho, is the fur itself removable or do you have to take off the whole hoodie??
